In fact free radicals are something researchers call superoxides, kind of a rogue gang of oxygen molecules that are created as various cells break down oxygen inside our bodies. ❋ William Shatner (2002)
"One of the researchers in our lab noticed that compounds called superoxides would partner very well with reactions associated with cryptochrome," said study co-author Klaus Schulten, a biophysicist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Instead, they have drawn a picture wherein the Martian soils are rich with peroxides and superoxides. ❋ Robert Zubrin (1996)
But all of these suggestions involve peroxides, superoxides, or ozonides, none of which are known to exist on Mars. ❋ Unknown (1977)
Hydrogen is a powerful reducing agent; it is similarly affected by the halogens, the hydroxyl group, the acid radicals, oxygen and sulphur; hydrogen and members of the univalent alkali metals group are readily interchangeable; it forms superoxides analogous to the metals; its analogy to the alkali metals as exhibited in the following: ❋ Various (N/A)
A major cause of UV light-induced damage to skin is increased free radicals, such as superoxides. ❋ Nesreen S Ismail (2010)
Increased superoxides can cause oxidative and nitrative damage to cell components. ❋ Nesreen S Ismail (2010)
Integrin antibodies (αv, β1) disrupted skin cell adhesion to ang1 and ang1-induced decreases in superoxides. ❋ Nesreen S Ismail (2010)
Specifically, these superoxides lead to the creation of a toxic molecule called "reactive oxygen species" or ROS, which is shown to be particularly harmful to muscle tissue, and may lead to problems ranging from aging and frailty to Parkinson's disease and cancer. ❋ Unknown (2009)
That's because researchers show how about 3 percent of the air we breathe gets converted into harmful superoxides, which ultimately harm our muscles. ❋ Unknown (2009)
They started with fruit flies that lack mitochondrial superoxide dismutase enzyme (SOD), which provides the primary line of defense against ROS by capturing the superoxides and converting them to water. ❋ Unknown (2009)
