abstract: As a mechanism of the ageing becomes clear by the scientific study, it has been believed that oxidative stress is an accelerator of the ageing.

In this chapter, we explained it to positioning of the antioxidant for general anti-ageing strategy, Sara about the present conditions of the molecular mechanism elucidation study on effects of the antioxidant.
