ROS production can occur at several intracellular sites but, for most cells, takes place in the mitochondria and the mitochondrial electron transport chain is the main cellular process of ROS generation in physiological circumstances (14)
Even though patients with RA showed higher plasma levels of superoxide dismutase (another of the bodys super antioxidants), they also had high levels of pro-oxidants, and increased nitric oxide, an inflammatory marker
An increasing number of studies have revealed that mitochondrial ROS, including those important for autophagy and the immune response, participate in cellular signaling (Valko et al
For example, a study found that higher quantities of lutein were identified in the cortexs epithelial layer when compared to the center sections of the lens, which indicated a correlation between lutein concentration and the risk of cataracts in different areas [115]
