英文解释

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is an umbrella term for an array of derivatives of molecular oxygen that occur as a normal attribute of aerobic life. Elevated formation of the different ROS leads to molecular damage, denoted as 'oxidative distress'.

中文解释

活性氧 (ROS) 是氧分子衍生物的总称，是有氧生命的正常属性。不同 ROS 的形成升高导致分子损伤，称为“氧化应激”。
