The Role of Reactive Oxygen in Infections

The only time that I can think of superoxide or the hydroxyuretical being needed in higher than normal amounts is if you have an infection. We've developed specific enzymes for when the infection does come, we can produce levels of hypochlorite and nitric oxide and superoxide and everything else. It seems like trying that infection and proxy nitrate. Do you know of a study that has looked strictly at the mitochondrial production of the ROS or any of them in the context of like long term production and disease? The ones that I've seen invariably say that's a bad thing. They can damage DNA, right? They can damage actually the most recent study that I sent Dr.
