Pre-natal factors in the origin of germ cell tumours of childhood.

abstract：:Naturally occurring antioxidants are extensively studied for their capacity to protect organisms and cells from damage induced by oxygen reactive species. In fact, oxidative stress is considered a cause of aging, degenerative disease and cancer. We have focused our attention on two agents, ascorbic acid and beta-carot...
