“…Taken together with the enhanced recovery of H202 from cells exposed to SOD this observation strongly suggests that phagocytizing granulocytes generate more 02. than can be accounted for by spontaneous dismutation to H202. Potential pathways for 02. utilization other than dismutation include oxygenation reactions involving unsaturated lipids either in the bacteria or the leukocytes themselves (5), competing reduction reactions, and in the presence of H202, its consumption in the generation of singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals (21)(22)(23)(24)(25). The relative importance of these other reactions to the microbicidal and inflammatory capabilities of the granulocyte remain to be determined, but our studies provide quantitative support for their existence.…”

“…Furthermore, debate exists as to whether H202 (4,7,17,18) or 02. (3,5,6,(19)(20)(21) is primarily involved in the effector mechanism of oxygen-dependent killing or whether both might play a role through the generation of other active oxygen compounds such as the hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen (4,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25).…”

“…Although the primary role of these processes is considered to be the killing of ingested microorganisms within the phagocytic vacuole, leakage or secretion of toxic agents into the extracellular fluid can occur. Thus, the metabolic burst results in the formation of several reactive species of partially reduced oxygen, including superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide (H202), and hydroxyl radical (2,3), and some of these agents have been detected in the extracellular fluid adjacent to the activated PMN (4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Degranulation can result in the emptying of granule enzymes, such as acid hydrolases and myeloperoxidase, into the extracellular fluid (9)(10)(11)(12)(13).…”
