Robertson: Oxidative stress is an accumulation of molecules that comes about because of chemical reactions, or stuff we ingest, things that get in our body. These can get inside the cells and really wreak havoc.
Dr. Robertson is researching a molecule called antioxidants which might protect cells against damage from oxidative stress.
羅伯遜:氧化應(yīng)激是一種由化學(xué)反應(yīng)或我們攝取的東西——即被我們身體吸收的物質(zhì)——造成的毒性分子堆積。這些毒性分子會進(jìn)入細(xì)胞內(nèi)并造成嚴(yán)重破壞。
羅伯遜醫(yī)生正在研究一種被稱為抗氧化劑的分子,這種分子可能會保護(hù)細(xì)胞不受氧化應(yīng)激的破壞。
