Reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide, are generated
as byproducts of oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria or via cell signaling-induced …

Cognitive, mood and sleep disorders are common and intractable disorders of the central
nervous system, causing great inconvenience to the lives of those affected. The gut–brain …

The view that sleep is essential for survival is supported by the ubiquity of this behavior, the
apparent existence of sleep-like states in the earliest animals, and the fact that severe sleep …

In brief Many aspects of the reproductive process are impacted by oxidative stress. This
article summarizes the chemical nature of reactive oxygen species and their role in both the …

Oogenesis is a complex developmental process that involves spatiotemporally regulated
coordination between the germline and supporting, somatic cell populations. This process …

Making the appropriate responses to predation risk is essential for the survival of an
organism; however, the underlying mechanisms are still largely unknown. Here, we find that …

The mechanism underlying the role of oxidative stress and advanced oxidation protein
products (AOPPs) in the aetiology of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is poorly …

nonhematophagous insects.•Metal-homeostasis mechanisms may be shared between …

Ovulation is critical for sexual reproduction and consists of the process of liberating
fertilizable oocytes from their somatic follicle capsules, also known as follicle rupture. The …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are oxygen-containing molecules which are reactive in
nature and are capable of independent existence in the body. ROS comprise mostly of free …
