ABSTRACT
Various stresses lead to disfunction of bioenergetic functions of mitochondria and an excess produce of ROS that underlie the development of pathological processes [1]. One of the most important tasks is the search for preparations and methods for protecting the organism from an oxidative stress caused by the action of adverse environmental impacts. We assumed that the main property of adaptogens is the reduction of the of ROS level in cells. Since mitochondria are the main source of ROS under stress conditions, we proposed the hypothesis that the basic mechanism of action of preparations-adaptogens is the reduction of generation of ROS.
