    Response to oxidative stress

    Other name:
    Hyperoxia
    Life stage:
    WormBase ID:
    WBbiopr:00000065
    Oxidative stress can result from an increase in reactive oxygen species or an inability to detoxify reactive intermediates or repair damage caused by these intermediates. Although C. elegans is quite resilient to high levels of oxygen, disruptions in intracellular respiration, such as mutations in mev-1 and gas-1, result in increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS). These increases in ROS result in hypersensitivity to high concentrations of oxygen.
