Moreover, by targeting inflammatory pathways such as NF-B and HIF-1, and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, mainly IL-6 and TNF-, these compounds protect against melanocyte loss characteristic of this disorder 150,151

Clinically, Se deficiency correlates with mitochondrial dysfunction and pathological accumulation of ROS/mtROS in chondrocytes, which contributes to OA progression, as evidenced by significantly lower serum Se levels in OA patients compared to healthy controls [20]

Loss of functional -synuclein: a toxic event in Parkinsons disease

Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathophysiology of cancer: in fact, high levels of ROS generated by ongoing aerobic glycolysis followed by pyruvate oxidation in mitochondria (the Warburg effect), increase receptor and oncogene activity, and the stimulation of growth factor-dependent pathways or oxidizing enzymes induce genetic instability 3,4
