Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide
Respiratory burst (also called oxidative burst) is the rapid release of reactive oxygen species (superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide) from different types of cells. Usually it denotes the release of these chemicals from immune cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages because they are infected by different bacteria or fungi. Respiratory burst plays an important role in the immune system. It is a crucial reaction that occurs in phagocytes to degrade internalized particles and bacteria. Neutrophils and monocytes use myeloperoxidase to combine H2O2 with Cl– to produce hypochlorite, which plays a role in destroying bacteria.
Myeloperoxidase, H2O2, and a halide form a potent antimicrobial and cytotoxic system of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte. Cytotoxicity is dependent on enzymatically active myeloperoxidase, H2O2, or a peroxide-generating enzyme system and either chloride or iodide. Cell damage is rapid, with maximal levels of 51Cr release occurring within 30--60 min.
