The Biology of Oxygen Radicals: Threats and Defenses

Chapter
Part of the Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine book series (DICM, volume 86)

Abstract

Ground state dioxygen is predisposed to reduction by a univalent pathway which entails the formation of the reactive intermediates O2 -, H2O2, and HO·. These species are produced during the passage of ionizing radiation through aerated aqueous solutions. Indeed, the superoxide radical (O2 -) and the hydroxyl radical (HO·) were first identified by radiation chemists and have been extensively studied by the technique of pulse radiolysis (1,2).
