SYMPOISUM 10: Consequences of Oxidative Stress: Reactive Oxygen-Mediated Signaling Processes, Papers 92-96
Chair: Nancy Oleinick, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH and Douglas R. Spitz, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA

Jointly sponsored by the American Society for Photobiology and the Radiation Research Society

Both ionizing and non-ionizing radiations begin their interaction with biological systems by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), including singlet oxygen, superoxide, and/or hydroxyl radical. ROS are also produced by processes intrinsic to cells, especially by mitochondria, and these processes can be enhanced in the absence of glucose, the most important source of reducing equivalents. ROS can cause direct oxidative changes in cellular constituents and can activate specific stress pathways whose function can be to repair the damage or to signal cell death. In some cases, the techniques used to monitor cell responses can themselves produce ROS. This symposium will explore these and other sources of reactive oxygen and some of the important consequences of oxidative stress.
