Abstract
Iron in its labile, chelatable form has been implicated in the generation of radical species such as the hydroxyl radical, ferryl species [an Fe(IV)-oxygen complex], perferryl (Fe2+ −O2 ↔ Fe3+ −O −2 ∙), and Fe2+ /Fe3+ /O2 complexes (for reviews see Halliwell and Gutteridge, 1986; Czapski and Goldstein, 1986; Aust and White, 1986; Aust and Minotti, 1987; Gutteridge and Halliwell, 1989) and in the propagation of oxidative events.
