RE: Nrf2: The cellular guardian against oxidative stress.

in #health6 years ago

inflammation does cause oxidative stress too (as a mode of combating infections, as you correctly state), but they are not the prime source of ROS. ROS are constantly produced by metabolic reactions.

Another question is does stress directly increase formation of ROS, or not?

It's the other way round. An increased formation of ROS causes stress.

Ty for commenting, btw.

Were the respective amounts measured?

It's the other way round. An increased formation of ROS causes stress.

In the sense of increased cortisol production?
