REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES (ROS): Molecules including free radicals and other oxygen species. RED BLOOD CELL: Any of the hemoglobin-containing cells that carry oxygen to the tissues and are responsible for the red color of blood. REDUCERS: Compounds such as antioxidants that accept electrons. REDUCING AGENT (Reductant): The electron donor in an oxidation-reduction reaction. RETINOPATHY: An eye disorder that does not cause inflammation but results from changes in the eye (retinal) blood vessels. RETROVIRUS: Any of a family of RNA viruses containing reverse transcriptase in the virion. Retroviruses proliferate by a process that is the reverse of normal viruses. Reverse transcriptase enables the virus to convert viral RNA into DNA. This reverses the normal process of transcription where DNA is converted into RNA. RIBOFLAVIN (Vitamin B-2): A B-complex vitamin that acts as a coenzyme that activates the breakdown and utilization of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It is essential for cellular oxidation and necessary for healthy skin and eyes. RNA: Ribonucleic acid, the genetic material in the cell that regulates protein production. |
