Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are superoxide anion (O2–) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), produced by phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages after ingestion of microbes, and which help kill the ingested microbes.
Las especies de oxígeno reactivo (ROS) son anión superóxido (O2–) y peróxido de hidrógeno (H2O2), producidas por células fagocíticas como neutrófilos y macrófagos después de la ingestión de microbios, y que ayudan a matar los microbios ingeridos.
