Abstract
During the past 25 years, the field of free radical biology has germin ated, sprouted, and flowered. Free radicals derived frommolecul ar oxy gen, formerly of interest only to radiation chemists, are now known to play multiple roles in living systems. We will here consider the gene ralities of this field with some special focus on skin as a site of ox ygen radical production and as a target upon which the damaging propen sities of these radicals are exerted.
