The Respiratory Burst of Neutrophilic Granulocytes and Its Influence on Infected Tissues

Indirect Consequences

  • Chapter
The Respiratory Burst and Its Physiological Significance

Abstract

The respiratory burst of neutrophilic granulocytes is a metabolic response of these cells to signals of infection. This metabolic pathway starts with markedly increased oxygen uptake,1,2 resulting in production of primary and secondary products, harmful to invaders.3,4
