reactive oxygen species

Preferred Label : reactive oxygen species;

MeSH definition : Molecules or ions formed by the incomplete one-electron reduction of oxygen. These reactive oxygen intermediates include SINGLET OXYGEN; SUPEROXIDES; PEROXIDES; HYDROXYL RADICAL; and HYPOCHLOROUS ACID. They contribute to the microbicidal activity of PHAGOCYTES, regulation of signal transduction and gene expression, and the oxidative damage to NUCLEIC ACIDS; PROTEINS; and LIPIDS.;

MeSH synonym : oxygen radicals; oxygen species, reactive; active oxygen; oxygen, active; pro-oxidants; pro oxidants; Pro-Oxidant; Pro Oxidant; Oxygen Radical; Radical, Oxygen; Reactive Oxygen Intermediates; Active Oxygen Species;

CISMeF acronym : ROS;
