Figure 1

End metabolic pathway of electron transport chain (ETC), depicting the reduction of oxygen (O2) to water (H2O), and the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a consequence of its partial reduction: O2 (Superoxide) H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), OH (hydroxyl radical). Highlighted in gray are shown the enzymes that catalyze the reactions (SOD:Superoxide Dimutase).
