A New Way to Stop Oxidative Damage To essential acids Has Been Developed by UCLA Biochemists

A new way to prevent oxidative damage to cells has been discovered by UCLA biochemists. Avoiding oxidation in essential acids of cell membranes can help in the development of more effective nutritional supplements. It can even promote medicine that can prevent neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are fundamental essential nutrients [...]
