In 1994, Dr. Jiankang Liu and his colleagues, based on
experimental data, published a paper in the International Journal
of Stress Management entitled “Involvement of reactive oxygen
species in emotional stress: A hypothesis based on the
immobilization stress-induced oxidative damage and antioxidant
defense changes in rat brain, and the effect of antioxidant
treatment with reduced glutathione”.
In 1999, Dr. Liu further modified the hypothesis with more findings in stress and
oxidative stress studies and proposed an “Oxidative damage hypothesis of stress-
associated aging acceleration”, published in the Neurochemical Research. In
recent years, a variety of oxidative damage induced by stress has been
demonstrated in the brain and other organs of several animal models. Meanwhile,
protective effect of antioxidants is a current topic not only in stress-related
disorders but also in other age-associated degenerative diseases such as cancer,
Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. In his most recent review paper, Dr. Liu
summarized the recent advances in stress and oxidative damage studies in
supporting his theory, with a focus on the anti-stress and neuroprotective effects
of some natural and nutritional antioxidants.
