Abstract

Antioksidansi su skupina različitih prirodnih spojeva koji u organizmu čovjeka igraju važnu ulogu zaštite od štetnog djelovanja slobodnih radikala. Dva su izvora antioksidansa: prvo, naš vlastiti organizam je sposoban proizvesti antioksidanse, uz pomoć vitamina i minerala,drugi, vanjski, izvor antioksidansa je hrana. Najpoznatiji antioksidansi su: Karotenoidi od kojih se najviše ističe β karoten, vitamin E( α-tokoferol),vitamin C (Askorbinska kiselina), Polifenoli od kojih su Flavonoidi najzastupljeniji u prehrani, te fenolne kiseline. Dakle, što više antioksidansa unosimo i proizvodimo, to imamo bolju osnovu za zdrav organizam kada se suočava sa slobodnim radikalima u stanju bolesti, zagađenja okoliša te akutnom ili kroničnom unosu toksina iz okoliša.

Abstract (english)

Antioxidants are molecules which have the ability to protect the human health against the free radicals. There are two sources of antioxidants: self producing of antioxidants by human cells or external source of antioxidants in food. Most important antioxidants are carotenoids, like beta-carotene, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, poliphenols (most popular in food are flavonoids and phenolic acids). So, as we produce or intake more the antioxidants into the human body better is protection of the human body against the free radicals in the conditions of disease, environmental pollution and acute or chronic toxins intake from the environment.
