Mitochondria and Reactive Oxygen Species: Physiology and Pathophysiology
The air that we breathe contains nearly 21% oxygen, most of which is utilized by mitochondria during respiration. While we cannot live without it, it was perceived as a bane to aerobic organisms due to the generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen metabolites by mitochondria and other cellular compartments. However, this dogma was challenged when these species were demonstrated to modulate cel...

متن کاملCardiac mitochondria and reactive oxygen species generation.
Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) have emerged as an important mechanism of disease and redox signaling in the cardiovascular system. Under basal or pathological conditions, electron leakage for ROS production is primarily mediated by the electron transport chain and the proton motive force consisting of a membrane potential (ΔΨ) and a proton gradient (ΔpH). Several factors controllin...
متن کاملBrief Review Mitochondria and Reactive Oxygen Species
Fascination by the mitochondria, “the colonial posterity of migrant prokaryocytes, probably primitive bacteria that swam into ancestral precursors of our eukaryotic cells and stayed there,”1 stems from the above-mentioned nebulous endosymbiotic theory of their origin, as well as from the growing realization of a very special role that they play in the pathogenesis of diverse diseases. These org...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species and sperm physiology.
Although high concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause sperm pathology (ATP depletion leading to insufficient axonemal phosphorylation, lipid peroxidation and loss of motility and viability), recent evidence demonstrates that low and controlled concentrations of these ROS play an important role in sperm physiology. Reactive oxygen species, such as the superoxide anion, hydrogen per...
