prooxidants

prooxidants are compounds that induce oxidative stress in biological systems.

high doses of prooxidants can damage cellular components including dna and proteins.

some prooxidants act as anticancer agents by inducing programmed cell death in tumors.

the delicate balance between antioxidants and prooxidants determines overall cellular health.

iron can act as a prooxidant in the presence of hydrogen peroxide through fenton chemistry.

certain medications exhibit prooxidant effects when administered at excessive concentrations.

prooxidant activity is commonly measured by fluorescence-based assays detecting ros production.

dietary prooxidants from processed foods may contribute to chronic inflammation and disease.

the prooxidant properties of transition metals have been extensively studied in toxicology research.

cancer cells are often more susceptible to prooxidant agents due to their high metabolic rate.

prooxidants generate reactive oxygen species that can trigger oxidative damage in living tissues.

some natural prooxidants are employed in combination chemotherapy protocols to enhance treatment efficacy.

the prooxidant effect can be modulated by specific enzyme inhibitors targeting redox pathways.

environmental prooxidants such as air pollutants and industrial chemicals pose significant health risks.
