The Respiratory Burst and Its Physiological Significance

The Respiratory Burst and Its Physiological Significance edited by A.J. Sbarra, R.R. Strauss.

When phagocytes are exposed to a number of different stimuli, they undergo dra­ matic changes in the way they process oxygen. Oxygen uptake increases markedly, frequently more than 50-fold; the phagocytes begin to produce large quantities of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide; and they immediately beg...
