Hmmmmm. I wonder if that same degree works in humans. One of the arguments for "more fruits and vegetables" is that even exercise - along with aging &etc. produces oxidative stress in humans. We've noticed the increased stress, but I haven't seen anything about the increase in enzymes if you make the change. (!)

I know very little about oxidative stress in humans. I have picked up a little online. Not enough to make me able to communicate productively. Can you explain what you are thinking?

oxidative stress is usually discussed in the context of 'antioxidants'. Oxidative stress is produced by exercise, life, aging, disease. Antioxidants - mostly found in brightly colored fruits and vegetables - are able to block or disarm the effects of the O. stress. So - given the research presented above - about the o. enzymes being increased many times beyond normal by exercise (in the migrating birds anyway) - does excercise have the same effect in humans?
Can I explain what I am thinking? Usually not! |

I would love to share this research with some people. Can you please tell me if the research was published and if so, in what issue of what publication?
Thanks. Sue |

Do you mean the research on antioxidants? Here is a summary. You might find the foot notes and List of References useful to get to the original research papers.
