Abstract
Reactive oxygen species have been in focus for some time now, and there are several reviews on this topic. since our contribution to Biological Reactive Intermediates III (Wefers and Sies, 1986), work from our laboratory has been presented comprehensively (Sies, 1986, 1988; Ishikawa and Sies, 1989). Further, the biochemistry of oxygen toxicity has been presented (Cadenas, 1989).
