[Clinical significance of reactive oxygen species].
There is increasing evidence that reactive oxygen substances are involved in the pathogenesis and/or progression of differ diseases. A short introduction to the biochemistry of reactive oxygen substances will be given in this review. Subsequently, the role of reactive oxygen substances will be discussed exemplarily on pathophysiological aspects of neutrophil granulocytes and of neurodegenerative diseases.
