- Antioxidant supplements for preventing gastrointestinal cancers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-May-2008
Oxidative stress may cause gastrointestinal cancers. The evidence on whether antioxidant supplements are effective in preventing gastrointestinal cancers is contradictory.
- Antioxidant supplements for prevention of mortality in healthy participants and patients with various diseases
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Mar-2012
Our systematic review has demonstrated that antioxidant supplements may increase mortality. We have now updated this review.
- Antioxidant treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or motor neuron disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-May-2011
Free radical accumulation and oxidative stress have been proposed as contributing to the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (or motor neuron disease). A range of antioxidant medications have been studied. This is an updated review.
- Antioxidant treatments for schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jan-2016
There is accumulating evidence that progressive changes in brain structure and function take place as schizophrenia unfolds. Among many possible candidates, oxidative stress may be one of the mediators of neuroprogression, grey matter loss and subsequent
- Antioxidant vitamin and mineral supplements for preventing age‐related macular degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jul-2017
There is inconclusive evidence from observational studies to suggest that people who eat a diet rich in antioxidant vitamins (carotenoids, vitamins C, and E) or minerals (selenium and zinc) may be less likely to develop age-related macular degeneration (A
- Antioxidant vitamin and mineral supplements for slowing the progression of age‐related macular degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jul-2017
It has been proposed that antioxidants may prevent cellular damage in the retina by reacting with free radicals that are produced in the process of light absorption. Higher dietary levels of antioxidant vitamins and minerals may reduce the risk of progres
- Antioxidant vitamin supplementation for preventing and slowing the progression of age-related cataract
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-May-2012
Age-related cataract is a major cause of visual impairment in the elderly. Oxidative stress has been implicated in its formation and progression. Antioxidant vitamin supplementation has been investigated in this context.
- Antioxidants for chronic kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-May-2014
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant risk factor for premature cardiovascular disease and death. Increased oxidative stress in people with CKD has been implicated as a potential causative factor for some cardiovascular diseases. Antioxidant thera
- Antioxidants for female subfertility
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Aug-2020
A couple may be considered to have fertility problems if they have been trying to conceive for over a year with no success. This may affect up to a quarter of all couples planning a child. It is estimated that for 40% to 50% of couples, subfertility may r
- Antioxidants for male subfertility
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Mar-2019
The inability to have children affects 10% to 15% of couples worldwide. A male factor is estimated to account for up to half of the infertility cases with between 25% to 87% of male subfertility considered to be due to the effect of oxidative stress. Oral
- Antioxidants for pain in chronic pancreatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Aug-2014
Reduced intake and absorption of antioxidants due to pain and malabsorption are probable causes of the lower levels of antioxidants observed in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). Improving the status of antioxidants might be effective in slowing the
- Antioxidants for preventing and reducing muscle soreness after exercise
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Dec-2017
Muscle soreness typically occurs after intense exercise, unaccustomed exercise or actions that involve eccentric contractions where the muscle lengthens while under tension. It peaks between 24 and 72 hours after the initial bout of exercise. Many people
- Antioxidants for preventing pre-eclampsia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-May-2012
Oxidative stress has been proposed as a key factor involved in the development of pre-eclampsia. Supplementing women with antioxidants during pregnancy may help to counteract oxidative stress and thereby prevent or delay the onset of pre-eclampsia.
- Antioxidants to prevent respiratory decline in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and progressive respiratory decline
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Dec-2021
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder characterised by progressive muscle weakness beginning in early childhood. Respiratory failure and weak cough develop in all patients as a consequence of muscle weakness leading to a risk
- Antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants for hypertension
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2011
Elevated systemic blood pressure results in high intravascular pressure but the main complications, coronary heart disease (CHD), ischaemic strokes and peripheral vascular disease (PVD), are related to thrombosis rather than haemorrhage. Some complication
- Antiplatelet agents for chronic kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jul-2013
Antiplatelet agents are widely used to prevent cardiovascular events. The risks and benefits of antiplatelet treatment may be different in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) for whom occlusive atherosclerotic events are less prevalent, and bleeding
- Antiplatelet agents for intermittent claudication
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Oct-2011
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is common and is a marker of systemic atherosclerosis. Patients with symptoms of intermittent claudication (IC) are at increased risk of cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke) and of both cardiovasc
- Antiplatelet agents for preventing and treating pre-eclampsia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Nov-2008
Pre-eclampsia is associated with deficient intravascular production of prostacyclin, a vasodilator, and excessive production of thromboxane, a platelet-derived vasoconstrictor and stimulant of platelet aggregation. These observations led to the hypotheses
- Antiplatelet agents for preventing pre‐eclampsia and its complications
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Oct-2019
Pre-eclampsia is associated with deficient intravascular production of prostacyclin, a vasodilator, and excessive production of thromboxane, a vasoconstrictor and stimulant of platelet aggregation. These observations led to the hypotheses that antiplatele
- Antiplatelet agents for preventing thrombosis after peripheral arterial bypass surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Feb-2015
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) may cause occlusions (blockages) in the main arteries of lower limbs. One treatment option is bypass surgery using autologous (the patient's own tissue) vein graft or prosthetic (artificial) graft. A number of factors inf
