CO2 is a natural inhibitor of the generation of reactive oxygen species by phagocytes

Abstract: The generation of reactive oxygen species in leukocytes from 73 healthy donors is studied using the luminol-and lucigenin-dependent chemiluminiscent methods and the nitroblue tetrazolium test. The results suggest CO 2 is a potent inhibitor of generation of reactive oxygen species in leukocytes under pressure close to that in the blood (37.5 mm Hg) and under high pressure (146 mm Hg).

“…As described above, reactive oxygen (primarily superoxide) in the rhizophagy cycle functions to extract nutrients from microbes that enter root cells . Carbon dioxide suppresses formation of superoxide needed to extract nutrients from microbes . Increasing the level of CO 2 by 50% in air around seedlings of wheat, tomato, and tall fescue seedlings (with C‐3 photosynthesis pathway) substantially reduced the amount of reactive oxygen (superoxide) secreted by root cells onto microbes, resulting in fewer nutrients being extracted from intracellular microbes (J.…”
