Abstract
Free radicals prevail as atoms, molecules or unpaired electronsbeing extremely reactive as well as unstable1. They can leadto chemical reactions alongside different molecules. Havingbeen originated from constituents like oxygen, sulphur aswell as nitrogen which contribute towards production ofreactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species(RNS), reactive sulphur species (RSS)1.They includesuperoxide anion(O2-•), hydroperoxyl radical (HO2•), hydroxylradical (•OH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), singlet oxygen (1O2), hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) . Free radical species are formed in the course of plentifuloxidative metabolic processes in mitochondria 1.There is extremely mild equilibrium between the makingtogether with the counteraction of ROS through antioxidants.As a consequence whenever the equilibrium gravitates towardsover production of ROS then as a sequel to oxidative stresscells begin deteriorating
