Abstract

This review compiles research developments made towards understanding the oxidative damage caused to nucleic acids, particularly to RNAs and the major biochemical events through which the intrinsic and extrinsic antioxidants function towards maintaining normal homeostasis. Finally, the role of carotenoids (lipophilic) and anthocyanins (hydrophilic) bio-pigments in accentuating protection to cells, including to that of mRNAs of antioxidant enzymes is discussed.
