Free Radicals: How They Affect Your Body
2022年7月19日 — Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules. Left unchecked, they can cause premature aging and chronic disease. Fight free radicals with antioxidants.

The oxygen free radicals include superoxide anion radical (O 2 · –), singlet oxygen (1 O 2), hydroxyl radical (·OH) and perhydroxyl radical (HO 2 ·) and are termed collectively the ‘reactive oxygen species’ (ROS).
Free Radicals, Antioxidants in Disease and Health - PMC
When cells use oxygen to generate energy, free radicals are created as a consequence of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production by the mitochondria. These by-products are generally reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as reactive nitrogen species (RNS) that result from the cellular redox process.
Free Radicals: Properties, Sources, Targets, and Their ...
The most important free radicals produced during metabolic reactions are radicals derived from oxygen, ROS. Both the ROS and RNS can be classified into two groups of compounds namely; radicals and non-radicals (see Table 1 ).
Reactive oxygen species - sources, functions, oxidative damage
2020年4月22日 — Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are molecules capable of independent existence, containing at least one oxygen atom and one or more unpaired electrons. This group includes oxygen free radicals, e.g. superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical, hydroperoxyl radical, singlet oxygen, as well as free nitrogen radicals.

2023年8月19日 — A physiological level of oxygen/nitrogen free radicals and non-radical reactive species (collectively known as ROS/RNS) is termed oxidative eustress or “good stress” and is characterized by low to mild levels of oxidants involved in the regulation of various biochemical transformations such as carboxylation, hydroxylation, peroxidation, or ...
