Redox reactions are intrinsically linked to energy metabolism. Therefore, redox processes
are indispensable for organismal physiology and life itself. The term reactive oxygen species …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a chemically defined group of reactive molecules
derived from molecular oxygen. ROS are involved in a plethora of processes in cells in all …

Abstract 'Reactive oxygen species'(ROS) is an umbrella term for an array of derivatives of
molecular oxygen that occur as a normal attribute of aerobic life. Elevated formation of the …

Superoxide is a primary oxygen radical that is produced when an oxygen molecule receives
one electron. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) plays a primary role in the cellular defense …

The brain is vulnerable to excessive oxidative insults because of its abundant lipid content,
high energy requirements, and weak antioxidant capacity. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) …

Multiple anticancer drugs have been proposed to cause cell death, in part, by increasing the
steady-state levels of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, for most of these …

Abstract Iron-sulfur (Fe–S) clusters are essential cofactors most commonly known for their
role mediating electron transfer within the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The Fe–S cluster …

Although the development of mitochondrial therapies has largely focused on diseases
caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA or in nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial …

Cadmium is a nonessential metal that has heavily polluted the environment due to human
activities. It can be absorbed into the human body via the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are series of chemical products originated from one or
several electron reductions of oxygen. ROS are involved in physiology and disease and can …
