[Oxidative stress and tissue injury].
Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and defense systems against them are balanced well in the living body. This balance is very important for the maintenance of physiological condition. The collapse of the balance such as in inflammation causes ROS toxicity and induces oxidative injury in various tissues. In this report, the relation between oxidative stress and tissue injury is discussed.
