title: [Oxidation stress in inflammatory bowel disease].
abstract: Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) has a complex and still largely unknown etiopathology. One of the possible causes can be traced to free radical reactions, and precisely to disorders in the equilibrium between pro-oxidants and antioxidants. This article is a concise review of the literature showing the current state of knowledge of interactions between pro-oxidants and antioxidants in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
