Generation of Reactive Oxygen species (ROS) leads to cure of various tumors. This is the mechanism behind the working of various cancer treatments. Howeve, are there free ions generated during the formation of ROS? Could ROS generation be co-rrelated with the increase/decrease in electrical conductivity?
I think yes. The generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in human body be correlated with electrical conductivity. Theoretically the chnage in composition within human body tissue introduce a change in electrical properties such as electrical conductivity. ROS will provide the change in ionic content in the body which in turn will change the electrical conductivity. But that change will be suitable for measuring or not that will depend on magnitude of the conductivity variation.
What is the rational behind generation of ionic content in the body due to ROS? Is there any scientific proof of this statement (like previous papers or experimental data)?
I think the article "A n Introduction to Reactive Oxygen Species" by Paul Held, Laboratory Manager, Applications Dept., BioTek Instruments, Inc., may help you to get the answer of your question.
