Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) encompass various molecular oxygen derivatives naturally produced during aerobic metabolism, including superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical. Excessive ROS production leads to oxidative distress, causing cellular damage and contributing to various pathologies, often alongside inflammation. Endogenous sources of ROS include mitochondrial activity and NADPH oxidases. The antioxidant system, comprising enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, peroxiredoxin, and catalase, mitigates ROS-induced damage. This review explores the regulation of ROS by membrane receptors, focusing on B1 and B2 kinin receptors and histamine H2 receptors, which are implicated in vasodilation, angiogenesis, inflammation, and gastric acid secretion. Understanding these interactions provides insights into ROS modulation and its role in disease mechanisms.
