Not exact matches

«Oxygen by - products produced during normal metabolism can cause oxidative damage to biomolecules in cells, such as DNA and RNA,» explains Jian - Ping Cai, a researcher involved in the study.

Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the reactive oxygen that is generated by normal cell metabolism and the cell's ability to handle toxic byproducts from that metabolism.

During the normal processes of metabolism the body generates what are called «reactive oxygen species» which are commonly referred to as «free radicals».

Iron is useful for participating in lots of different chemical reactions in the body, as part of normal metabolism, but it's also important for caring oxygen to our tissues and oxygen is what we need in a process called oxidative phosphorylation, which gives us energy.

I was fascinated with the «Warburg effect» in medical school — ie that many cancers require anaerobic glucose metabolism — glycolysis — even in a normal oxygen environment.

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.

* It is also a potent antioxidant that can protect the body's cells and molecules from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen molecules generated during normal metabolism and typical environmental exposures.

ROS form as a natural byproduct of the normal metabolism of oxygen and have important roles in cell signaling.

Let me explain... Through normal metabolism of nutrients, your mitochondria release reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Generation of reactive oxygen species, or free radicals such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, is a normal byproduct of metabolism, but can damage cellular machinery when excessive and impair the production of cellular energy, which becomes a vicious cycle as energy - intensive repair processes become untenable (25, 26).
