First of all Oxidative stress is an imbalance between oxidants - reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and antioxidants that may affect lipids, DNA, carbohydrates and proteins. Science has identified around 2200 different groups of free radicals (oxidants) in our bodies & Sarcoidosis victims have much higher oxidative stress levels than people without Sarc.
1. ROS - reactive oxygen species are responsible for the tissue damage in interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) such as lung fibrosis or sarcoidosis. This is a lead in the development of new therapies and of suggesting optimal antioxidant dietary regimes.
2. A potential role of oxidative stress in the step by step development of a disease and the chain of events leading to diffuse lung diseases (DLD) has been demonstrated. Increased oxidant levels and decreased antioxidant defences can contribute to the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, pneumoconiosis and pulmonary fibrosis associated with systemic sclerosis.

3. Future studies should explore the clinical relevance of the relation of oxidative stress, antioxidant therapy and cardiac dysfunction in sarcoidosis.

4. Sarcoidosis patients might benefit from antioxidant supplementation not only by empowering the relatively low protection against ROS but also by reducing inflammation. OK, I just have to ask you to read this statement 1 more time & ask yourself why Dr.s & specialists don't recommend antioxidant supplementation!!! Jack was NEVER informed of these results. Thank goodness I stumbled on them through my own research AFTER his specialists stopped treating him.

5. Oxidative mechanisms are currently discussed as playing a crucial role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory lung diseases. Oxidative stress increases in sarcoidosis might be due to both increase in lipid peroxidation and decrease in antioxidant status (PON1).
