The process that turns cut fruit brown when it is exposed to air is thought to cause disease of our blood vessels and heart as we age. Despite what we first thought, 'blocking' this oxidation process with antioxidant supplements does not lower heart disease. This is because oxidation not only causes harm but also is useful and essential for normal body function. Our research program aims to show which oxidative processes are needed for blood vessel health or cause vessel disease.

人们认为，随着年龄的增长，切开的水果暴露在空气中时会变成棕色，从而导致血管和心脏疾病。不管我们最初的想法如何，用抗氧化剂补充剂“阻止”这种氧化过程并不能减少心脏病。这是因为氧化不仅会造成伤害，而且对于正常的身体功能也是有用且必需的。我们的研究计划旨在表明哪些氧化过程对于血管健康或导致血管疾病是必需的。
