Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

  • This reactive oxygen intermediate is extremely toxic to ingested microbes.
  • At a certain stage, a reactive oxygen intermediate is formed (Fe V=O species [5,10]).
  • This highly reactive oxygen intermediate is rapidly converted by superoxide dismutase to much-less-damaging hydrogen peroxide.
  • Persistent mitochondrial hyperpolarization, increased reactive oxygen intermediate production, and cytoplasmic alkalinization characterize altered IL-10 signaling in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
  • Interferon-gamma enhances monocyte cytotoxicity via enhanced reactive oxygen intermediate production.
  • Divergent effects of paracetamol on reactive oxygen intermediate and reactive nitrogen intermediate production by U937 cells.
  • Although phagocytosis alone is efficient at removing foreign particles from the tissues, one of the most important mechanisms for cellular killing may be the production of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs).
  • Increased reactive oxygen intermediate production by hemocytes withdrawn from Crassostrea virginica infected with Perkinsus marinus.
