Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The generation of free radicals, as well as reactive oxygen and nitose species, induced by exposure to chemicals, pollutants, radiation, toxic metals, climate change, etc., could induce various human and animal diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and many degenerative diseases.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to present a series of research articles and reviews showing the role of natural antioxidants in countering the free radical production and environmental toxicity associated with human and veterinary health.

This Issue will include in vitro and in vivo studies that will elucidate the fundamental role of free radicals and their modulation in cell signaling, cell metabolism, epigenetic regulation, development, differentiation, and microbiota modulation in humans and animals. Additionally, it will also include studies reporting antioxidant strategies, particularly natural antioxidants, to counteract oxidative stress.
