Reactive Oxygen Species & Free Radical Test

Reactive oxygen species and free radicals are produced through cellular and metabolic activity in the body and are essential for life. However, when irregular lifestyle, unbalanced diet, or psychological factors cause excess production, cells become damaged, accelerating aging and contributing to diseases such as cancer.
For this reason, the following measurements become important.
　1. d-ROMs Test: Oxidative Stress Measurement
　2. BAP Test: Antioxidant Capacity Measurement

Reactive Oxygen Species
These are oxygen-containing molecules with especially high reactivity. They are involved in combining with lipids in the body to form harmful lipid peroxides.

Free Radicals
Atoms that make up substances have a nucleus around which electrons orbit. Normally these electrons orbit in pairs, keeping atoms stable.
However, when there is a single (odd-numbered) electron, the atom becomes unstable and seeks to take electrons from other molecules. Free radicals are molecules with such a lone electron and are particularly aggressive in stealing electrons. Substances that have their electrons stolen may change shape or lose function.
Free radicals also play beneficial roles for the body.

Antioxidant Capacity
This is the body's capacity to counteract the oxidative action of excess reactive oxygen species and free radicals.


Effects of Reactive Oxygen Species & Free Radicals on the Body (Major Diseases)
 Carcinogenesis
 Aging
 Arteriosclerosis
 Neurological: Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, epilepsy
 Cardiovascular: ischemic arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, hypertension
 Gastrointestinal: acute gastric mucosal lesions, gastric ulcer, colitis, pancreatitis, fatty liver
 Respiratory: bronchial asthma, airway disorders
 Renal: renal failure, uremia
 Diabetes
 Allergies, rheumatic diseases, immunodeficiency, collagen diseases


Conditions That Cause Excess Production of Reactive Oxygen Species & Free Radicals
Intense exercise, stress, irregular lifestyle and diet, excessive alcohol intake, smoking, excessive UV exposure
Use of fertility drugs, hormone therapy medications, etc.
