Resumen
This manuscript presents information about the oxygen reactive species, oxidative stress, and their relationship with many widely distributed/ubiquitous illnesses. The antioxidant activity of estrogens in the organism is discussed along with the main reaction mechanisms involved in this capability. On the other hand, estrogens are endogen molecules of great importance to organisms because they participate in many physiological functions. Here are presented the single electron transfer (SET) reaction mechanism, the radical adduct formation (RAF), and the Hydrogen transfer (HT) of estrogens with the hydroperoxyl radical. The antioxidant activity of estrogens was compared against the ability of other natural antioxidants concluding with the possibility of them to work as antioxidants. The information presented here could be applied as an example in the free radical chapter on the organic chemistry class.
