If flavoprotein performs the alternate pathway of transferring an electron directly to oxygen rather than to the next component of the ETC, TWO toxic molecules are produced. These cellular toxic molecules are HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (H2O2) AND SUPEROXIDE RADICALS (O2-). These toxins are reactive oxygen species (ROS) that produce free radicals.

This alternate pathway also results in damaging of the cells and early aging of the cells. There are enzymes such as catalase and superoxide dismutase that catalyse the reaction for the degradation of these toxins.

When the body senses a state of hypoperfusion, the sympathetic nervous system releases epinephrine, the effects of which?
lutik1710 [3]
Heart rate is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) releases the hormones (catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine) to accelerate the heart rate. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) releases the hormone acetylcholine to slow the heart rate. Such factors as stress, caffeine, and excitement may temporarily accelerate your heart rate, while meditating or taking slow, deep breaths may help to slow your heart rate.
