Title: What processes produce and mitigate reactive oxygen species?
Post by: scientizscht on 26/10/2018 21:22:54

Hello!

Can you tell me please:

1) which reactions and at what exact locations produce endogenous ROS and at what percentage?
2) which mitigating mechanisms exist for endogenous ROS production? (detailed answer, not just CoQ10)

Thanks!

We have a policy of not doing homework assignments for people. You have to think a little bit.

But you can get some starting points here:

I don't think he's doing homework. I think he's trying to run before he can walk.
