1. Introduction Redox homeostasis is an essential cellular mechanism present in all forms of life, responsible for the delicate balance between oxidizing and reducing reactions. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons in their outer orbital that attempt to bond with other atoms or molecules to form a stable compound [1,2]. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) together form free radicals as well as other non-radical reactive substances [3].
