Sentences with phrase «from reactive oxygen molecules»

Many of our body systems are susceptible to oxidative stress and damage from reactive oxygen molecules.

Not exact matches

The immune system may kick in when animals eat, releasing reactive oxygen molecules to kill microbes on food, helping to protect from disease.

This fact makes vacuum UV light extremely useful for industrial applications from sterilizing medical devices to cleaning semiconductor substrates because when it strikes oxygen - containing molecules on a surface, it generates highly reactive oxygen radicals, which can completely destroy any microbes contaminating that surface.

But organisms from humans to algae also have another clock that doesn't rely on rhythmic gene expression to keep time, but instead uses the rise and fall of the reactive oxygen molecules that are formed as natural byproducts of metabolism.

Mononuclear cells from the blood were isolated during the OGTTs to analyze if these cells were producing molecules known as ROS (reactive oxygen species).

Research suggests that Vitamin C is a highly effective antioxidant and that small amounts can protect essential molecules in the body from free radical damage and reactive oxygen species generated during normal metabolism, as well as through exposure to toxins and pollutants.

* It is also a highly effective antioxidant that can protect the body's cells and molecules from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen species generated during normal metabolism and exposure to environmental stressors.
