The cell uses antioxidants‚ like MnSOD‚ to slow down or prevent substrate oxidation. For example‚ converting superoxide to hydrogen peroxide. The free radical conversion allows moderate ROS formations that are beneficial to the cell when redox homeostasis is maintained. The main purpose of ROS production is not only the end product of a reaction but it is used by the cell as signaling molecules to run other metabolic pathways‚ like cell proliferation glucose metabolism cellular growth and many other
