Mitochondrion-targeted antioxidant SkQ1 prevents rapid animal death caused by highly diverse shocks

Abstract excerpt

Abstract The response to stress involves the activation of pathways leading either to protection from the stress origin, eventually resulting in development of stress resistance, or activation of the rapid death of the organism. Here we hypothesize that mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) play a key role in stress-induced programmed death of the organism, which we called “phenoptosis” in 1997. We...
