Talk:Reactive oxygen species

message: ROS are not all bad and not always a byproduct at all. What about ROS production by NOX and DUOX enzymes and their role in immunity?
This should be included!

The whole "antioxidant" thing is food industry / supplement industry jive talk; note how all statements about ROS contain weasel words --- which at one time would have precluded their appearance in the hallowed webpages of Wikipedia.  Oh well. 
But no, really, it's sooooooo retarded ---- mitochondria produce peroxides; peroxides will really mess you up (try getting some in your eye, for example!); therefore ... ROS!  Antioxidants to the rescue!  Buy this crap, or that crap, because it is HIGH in AntiOxidants!!  It's a string of correlations with NO causation in sight.  If you want to cite something to me that shows that ROS is bad and antioxidants are good, please, make it something that is in vivo; not something that is strictly in vitro and extrapolated.  Thanks.

:I believe that there is a higher concentration of ROS in the mitochondrial matrix due to its proximity to the respiratory machinery. LostLucidity (talk) 16:34, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

message: This article is currently written from an animal-centric POV. ROS are produced in chloroplasts during photosynthesis and this needs mentioning. Photoinhibition has some details which could be incorporated. Smartse (talk) 15:05, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

message: "They are highly reactive due to the presence of unpaired valence shell electrons."
I am not shure, but i do not think this is true. E.g. H2O2 is concidered a ROS but it is not a radical.
I think there should be a table at the begining of the article highlighting important ROS and their reactivity.
Due to my crapy english I won`t change anything though..

thread_title:  ROS = radicals? Table of ROS 

message: ROS are known to the general public as "free radicals?"  Or no?  
If so, it would help readers get a handle on ROS to give the relationship in the intro.

message: Something bothers me about this article. Is ROS current as a scientific concept? A chemical concept, as opposed to a biological or medical one? The whole article seems subtly aimed at giving a value to them, as if they were optional or a kind of technology, rather than just describing them from a chemical standpoint. 178.38.108.161 (talk) 14:39, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added a bit more chemistry and move this up in the article.  I hope this helps. Boghog (talk) 14:38, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Glutathione 

message: See: Talk:Exercise#Please add info about reactive oxygen species to section "Mechanism of effects".
The info could be very brief here and/or go into a new section like the "Positive role of ROS in memory" one (and both could become subsections of a new section that's about, for example, ROS' "positive roles"). Prototyperspective (talk) 15:04, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
