Abstract excerpt
Most intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) that is converted from oxygen, are overproduced by excessive electron leakage from the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Intracellular oxidative stress that damages cellular components can contribute to lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and arteriosclerosis, and age-related diseases such as cancer and neuronal...
