Oxidation
Many biochemical reactions in cells involve the transfer of electrons from one atom
or molecule to another.
Oxidation describes the loss of an electron by an atom or molecule.
Because electrons are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions,
if one atom or molecule is Oxidised another must be Reduced.
Oxidation is a process, which may or may not involve Oxygen, (O2).

Although I don't have any medical qualifications,
as a sufferer of Diabetes, Deafness and Tinnitus caused by the A3243G mtDNA defect,
I do have a very keen interest in the subject.
