Nanoparticles in Medicine: A Focus on Vascular Oxidative Stress

<div>The Nox 4 paradox. Vascular Nox 4 generates superoxide anion (O<sub>2</sub><sup>−</sup>) and hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>). Depending on which via predominates, Nox 4 activation can be damaging or protective. VSCMs: vascular smooth muscle cells.</div>
