Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species are produced by various stressors derived from internal and external sources, including endogenous metabolic activities. Glucose metabolism is one of the most primitive sources for energy production for most cells; however, it may at the same time yield hazardous oxidative stress via simultaneous oxidant production. The protective mechanism against oxidative stress is thus an indispensable...
