Emission of reactive oxygen species during degradation of iron gall ink [PDF]
, 2010 Iron gall inks are characterised by high contents of acids and transition metals, promoting degradation of cellulose due to hydrolysis and oxidation, respectively. Their chemical interaction with the environment is not well understood, especially in view

Reactive oxygen species and sperm cells
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2004 There is a dynamic interplay between pro- and anti-oxidant substances in human ejaculate. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation can overwhelm protective mechanism and initiate changes in lipid and/or protein layers of sperm plasma membranes.

Imaging Reactive Oxygen Species in Arthritis
Molecular Imaging, 2004 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of arthritides. Luminol was used as the primary reporter of ROS and photons resulting from the chemiluminescence reaction were detected using a super-cooled CCD photon ...
