Abstract

The article provides a review of literature for the past 100 years; touches on the history of discovery and the use of hydrogen peroxide in different years; describes in detail chemical and physical properties of hydrogen peroxide, and its mechanisms of action in vivo and in vitro. The review addresses the formation of hydrogen peroxide in human and animal cells and describes physiological functions of endogenous hydrogen peroxide in the human body.
