Livers generate low levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially superoxide, in mitochondria and hydrogen peroxide as normal function of various oxidases [1]. The large number of mitochondria and their capacity to leak electrons from complex I and III of the electron transport chain make them quantitatively the most important intracellular source of ROS [1]. ROS formation is dangerous for cells due to the presence of polyunsaturated fatty acids in cellular membranes, the substantial number of unprotected protein sulfhydryl groups and DNA bases. Therefore, cells had to develop sophisticated defense systems. Each liver cell expresses superoxide dismutases (SOD1 in the cytosol; SOD2 in mitochondria), glutathione peroxidases (cytosol and mitochondria), catalase (peroxisomes), thioredoxins (Trx1 in cytosol; Trx2 in mitochondria) and peroxiredoxins (Prx-I,-II,-VI in the cytosol; Prx-III,-V in mitochondria)[1](Figure 1A). In addition, liver cells contain mM concentrations of glutathione in all cellular compartments, have radical chain-breaking antioxidants (vitamin E) in cell membranes and keep redox-active iron tightly bound to storage or transport proteins [1]. Because of this multi-layer defense system against ROS, liver cells and especially hepatocytes, have a substantial capacity to metabolize and effectively detoxify ROS and repair oxidant damage. Therefore, under realistic in vivo conditions, catastrophic free radical events such as lipid peroxidation are rarely the cause of cell death [2]. Instead, ROS generally cause disturbances of the cellular homeostasis and, if not effectively counteracted, this can lead to cell death.An example where the combination of increased ROS formation and impaired defense systems causes cell death is acetaminophen (APAP) overdose, which is the leading cause of acute liver failure in Western countries [3]. The reactive metabolite of APAP depletes glutathione (GSH) in the cytosol and in mitochondria and binds to cellular proteins, which causes formation of ROS and peroxynitrite inside mitochondria [3](Figure 1A). In the absence of mitochondrial GSH, the mitochondrial oxidant stress triggers the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore, which causes the collapse of the membrane potential and cessation of ATP synthesis. In addition, mitochondrial intermembrane proteins endonuclease G and apoptosis-inducing factor translocate to the nucleus and cause DNA fragmentation [3]. The critical role of the impaired mitochondrial antioxidant defense system is clearly demonstrated by the profound hepatoprotection if ROS
