Chemistry of Oxygen-Derived Radicals. Chemistry of Electronically Excited States. Formation of Reactive Oxygen Metabolites in Vivo. Reactions of Reactive Oxygen Metabolites with Important Biomolecules. Nitric Oxide. Antioxidants. Pathological Processes Involving Reactive Oxygen Metabolites. Conclusion. References.ReviewsThe author discusses the basic chemistry of reactive oxygen metabolites with great expertise and then applies this knowledge to the analysis of pathological processes. It is a treasure trove of information, but does not overwhelm and is fun to read. Due to the ever increasing importance of reactive oxygen metabolites, this text should be required reading in medical schools. --Angel A. Roman Franco, M.D. To write a single-authored, compact introductory text which encompasses all the different aspects of ROM chemistry, biology and pathology is a challenging task: the author has succeeded formidablyThe text is throughout well referenced. It not only represents an easy to read overview of this complex interdisciplinary subject of biological and medical relevance, but serves also as a fountain of valuable information for more in-depth considerations. As an introductory text, this book should have wide appeal and is highly recommended. It should be a welcomed text for a special topic course at the interphase of chemistry, biology and medicine: I certainly would adopt it for my course at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level. - Prof. Dr. W.
