Given the vicious circle between ROS production and mitochondrial dysfunction mentioned above, it has been reasonably hypothesized that, in some individuals with pre-existing sub-optimal mitochondrial function, an infection can tip the host into a chronic and self-perpetuating metabolically imbalanced non-resolving state characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, where ROS continually drive inflammation (204)
Preclinical studies and clinical trials suggest that antioxidants, such as small thiol molecules (N-acetyl-L-cysteine and carbocysteine), antioxidant enzymes (glutathione peroxidases), activators of Nrf2-regulated antioxidant defense system (sulforaphane), and vitamins, for example, C, E, and D, enhance the endogenous antioxidant system and reduce oxidative stress
