Notes: DMNQ is a 1,4-naphthoquinone that acts as a redox-cycling agent, typically increasing intracellular superoxide and hydrogen peroxide formation.{31226,31225,31227} The amount of oxidative stress is proportional to the amount of DMNQ applied and can alter diverse cellular parameters, including signal transduction, mitochondrial function, and gene expression.{31227,28824,31224}
