The human brain can be conditioned to handle oxidative stress more effectively
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 96/100
Biological systems, including human and mammalian cells, possess endogenous signaling pathways (such as Nrf2-mediated responses) that adapt to and build tolerance against oxidative stress through a process akin to hormesis.
