This might seem surprising as reactive oxygen species are generally considered to be unhealthy.

Vitamin B3 could hold key to eternal fountain of youth

More research produced the answer: Vitamin C induced what is known as a Fenton reaction, causing iron to react with other molecules to create reactive oxygen species that kill the TB bacteria.

One of these other affected enzymes, she says, may even be a source of the reactive oxygen species the Welsh group suspects of threatening UROD.

Embedded sentinels of toxicity; scientists are beginning to identify when, where and how certain toxic substances affect the body by studying aberrations in body levels of chemicals known as porphyrins

It was designed to identify the potential protective mechanism of resveratrol following noise exposure by measuring its effect on cyclooxygenase-2 (or COX-2, key to the inflammatory process) protein expression and formation of reactive oxygen species, which plays an important role in cell signaling and homeostasis.

Red grapes and red wine may protect against hearing loss

Among the topics are the structural biology of programmed cell death, reactive oxygen species in cell fate decisions, plants, looking for the roots of death in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, matters of life and death in the immune system, cell death in acute neuronal injury, cancer biology and therapeutics, caspase-independent mitotic death, and basic principles and protocols of analyzing apoptosis.

Now researchers report in the August 2005 Journal of Clinical Investigation that even before the immune system cranks up, NADPH oxidases in pollen itself generate a type of free radical known as reactive oxygen species (ROS), which interfere with cell signaling pathways and cause the immune system to overreact.

The radical theory of sneezing

Through the identification and purification of specific aloe chromones derived from aloe vera and other plant species, Unigen scientists have demonstrated the effectiveness of these chromones in inhibiting free radical and oxidative damage through the simultaneous suppression of free radical generation and production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which includes oxygen-related free radicals.

The research team suggests this DNA damage may be triggered by so-called reactive oxygen species.

Recurrent miscarriage might be linked to faulty sperm: Study

The reactive oxygen species (ROS) can be generated by intake of environmental pollutants, smoke, tobacco, xenobiotic, drugs, medical materials, radiations, pesticides, industrial solvents and ozone.
