  2. Free Radical FunctionsFrom W. Droge • 1.At high concentrations, free radicals and radical-derived, nonradical reactive species are hazardous for living organisms and damage all major cellular constituents • 2.At moderate concentrations, however, • nitric oxide (NO), superoxide anion, and related reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role as regulatory mediators in signaling processes.

  3. Free Radical Functions • 3.Many of the ROS-mediated responses actually protect the cells against oxidative stress and reestablish “redox homeostasis.” • 4. Higher organisms, however, have evolved the use of NO and ROS also as signaling molecules for other physiological functions. • 5.These include regulation of vascular tone, monitoring of oxygen tension in the control of ventilation and erythropoietin production, and signal transduction from membrane receptors in various physiological processes.

  4. Free Radical Concentrations • 6. NO and ROS are typically generated in these cases by tightly regulated enzymes such as NO synthase (NOS) and NAD(P)H oxidase isoforms, respectively. • 7. In a given signaling protein, oxidative attack induces either a loss of function, a gain of function, or a switch to a different function. • 8. In mitochondria, ROS are generated as undesirable side products of the oxidative energy metabolism.

  5. Free Radical Damage • 9. An excessive and/or sustained increase in ROS production has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, ischemia/reperfusion injury, obstructive sleep apnea, and other diseases. • 10. That the process of aging may result, at least in part, from radical-mediated oxidative damage was proposed more than 40 years ago by Harman (J Gerontol11: 298–300, 1956).

  13. Spin Biochemistry Modulates Reactive Oxygen Species(ROS) Production by Radio Frequency Magnetic FieldsRobert J. Usselman1*, Iain Hill3, David J. Singel2, Carlos F. Martino 3¤*1 Electromagnetics Division, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, Colorado, United States of America, 2 PLOS ONE 2014 • The effects of weak magnetic fields on the production of reactive oxygen species • (ROS) intracellular superoxide (O2*-) and extracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) • were investigated in vitro with rat pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (rPASMC).We observe a decrease in O2*- and an increase in H2O2 concentrations in the presence of a 7 MHz radio frequency (RF) at 10 μTRMS and static 45 μTmagnetic fields. O2*- and H2O2 production in metabolic processes is proposed to occur through singlet-triplet modulation of semiquinoneflavin (FADH*) enzymes and O2*- spincorrelated radical pairs. Spin-radical pair products are modulated by the 7 MHz RF magnetic fields that decouple flavin hyperfine interactions during spin decoherence. RF flavinhyperfine decoupling results in an increase of H2O2 singlet state products, which creates cellular oxidative stress and acts a secondary messenger that affects cellular proliferation. This study demonstrates the interplay between O2*- and H2O2 production influenced by RF magnetic fields and underscores the subtle effects of lowfrequencymagnetic fields on oxidative metabolism, ROS signaling, and cellular growth
