01
Overview
Mitochondrial superoxide generation refers to the production of superoxide, a reactive oxygen species (ROS), within mitochondria. This process occurs primarily during oxidative phosphorylation at complexes I and III of the electron transport chain. Superoxide is then converted into hydrogen peroxide by superoxide dismutases. Mitochondrial ROS play roles in signaling, metabolic adaptation, and inflammation but can also contribute to cellular damage and disease when produced in excess. Targeting mitochondrial ROS has therapeutic potential for various diseases, including aging-related disorders and infections like COVID-19.
