Hydrogen Peroxide Toxicity
On the harm of hydrogen peroxide
Between heaven and earth, all things are biochemical, but the poison is also hidden in it, and the poison of hydrogen peroxide cannot be ignored.
Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidative properties. When it is in the body or invades from the outside, it often causes damage to cells. In cells, it can interact with various biomolecules, such as lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Its lipid oxidation causes the disintegration of the cell membrane structure, the loss of the barrier function of the membrane, and the disordered exchange of substances inside and outside the cell, thus endangering the existence of the cell.
And its harm to proteins can cause changes in the conformation of protein molecules, damage to the activity check point, loss of the activity of many enzymes, blockage of biochemical reactions in organisms, and metabolic disorders. As for nucleic acids, hydrogen peroxide can cause base damage, chain breakage, gene information transmission and expression disorder, or lead to cell mutation, which is the source of diseases.
In the macroscopic manifestations of organisms, if the body is poisoned by hydrogen peroxide, the physiological functions of the light ones are weakened, such as low immunity and susceptibility to diseases; in severe cases, organ failure endangers life. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful to prevent the harm of hydrogen peroxide, in life and production, to understand its nature, avoid its risks, and protect the safety and health of life.
