The mice also showed symptoms of defective muscular coordination called ataxia, which has been linked to oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress appears to be a significant underlying factor in the development of a wide array of diseases, including atherosclerosis and cancer.
At the end of the 4 weeks the processed carrots still had more oxidative power than raw carrots.
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase catalyzes oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, to form acetyl-CoA.
However, in redox proteins with strong oxidizing centers oxidative decarboxylation of nearby ionized carboxylic groups may be expected to occur to some degree.
