“Two Faces of Oxygen”
Oxygen is the most abundant element on Earth. Although high levels of oxygen are necessary for respiration and other physiological processes, they can damage the organs and systems of living organisms. The toxic effect of this element is also due to reactive oxygen species, which are formed as by-products in numerous metabolic processes. During the film, you will learn about oxygen free radicals, oxidative stress, and whether their harmful effects can be prevented. Should You Use Antioxidants?
After the broadcast of the episode, the authors invite you to a short online quiz with attractive prizes to test the knowledge gained in the film.
