Abstract
Oxidative stress has been associated with a number of diseases in humans. Among the sources that can generate oxidative stress, it has been reported that iron can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) with thiol. In iron overload state, increased thiol levels in plasma appeared to be associated with human mortality.(omitted)
