The ground-state of molecular oxygen, O , is essential to many 2 indispensible metabolic processes of all aerobic life forms ranging from prokaryotes, protists, plants, and fungi to animals. Research by mammalian toxicologists and clinicians has unravelled persua- sive evidence that O dependence imposes universal toxicity to all 2 aerobic life processes. The basis of this paradox is that one-electron reduction of O2 generates the superoxide anion free radical, 0;-, from numerous biological sources; for example, redox-active autoxidizable molecules such as catecholamines, oxidoreductases, and subcellular organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reti'C- ulum (microsomes), nuclei, and chloroplasts. Oxygen is also acti- ... Read more

Reviews for Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Defenses in Biology
...on reading the unusual melange of contributors and specific topics covered Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Defences in Biology, this feeling [deja vu] is soon replaced by one of enthusiastic anticipation - and with the majority of chapters one is not diappointed. - The Biochemist
