【 摘 要 】

Extensive literature exists in relation to electrochemical involvement in human illnesses. Examples included in the present review are cancer, bone fracture, injury from cell phones and electrical transmission lines, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, depression, stroke and others. An important aspect is involvement with cell signaling and radical formation. The relationship to reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress, resulting in toxicity, is discussed. Various reports address the beneficial effects of antioxidants in countering the harmful influences. Evidence shows the important participation of electrochemistry in illnesses, in addition to other factors in a multifaceted manner.
