Redox imbalance is implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases. For instance, in cardiovascular diseases, oxidative stress can lead to endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, and myocardial infarction. In neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, oxidative damage to neurons is a key pathological feature. Chronic oxidative stress is also a hallmark of cancer, where it can contribute to DNA mutations and tumor progression.
