Chemical reactions involving free radicals and highly reactive oxidants are necessary in the normal metabolism of cells. Metabolic processes utilizing oxygen (aerobic metabolism) which release energy are important examples. Ordinarily, these reactions occur in conjunction with appropriate enzymes or in the proper places within the cells. While it has been documented that potentially harmful reactants leak from their normal cellular confines and are potentially toxic , these rates of leakage are usually low enough for the natural antioxidant, free radical scavenging mechanisms to handle.
