importance in recent years due to their ability to neutralize
free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) or their
actions. U nder normal circumstances, the ROS are
detoxified by the antioxidants present in the body and there
is equilibrium between the generation and the antioxidants
present ( ROS ) . Sometimes, due to ROS overproduction
or inadequate antioxidant defense, this equilibrium is
hampered favoring the ROS upsurge that culminates in
oxidative stress. ROS possess a strong oxidizing effect and
induce damage to biological molecules, including proteins,
