Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important signaling molecules in processes such as gene activation, cellular growth, and modulation of chemical reactions in the cell. However, at elevated levels, ROS induce oxidative damage to nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids and can cause tissue dysfunction associated with many pathological conditions.
The effect of redox environment in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue has exceptional relevance to the beneficial remodeling in response to exercise, or detrimental alterations during the development of inflammatory and metabolic diseases. The interplay between both the tissues—mediated by circulating lipids, cytokines, and myokines—modifies oxidative stress and contributes to metabolic flexibility, regulates inflammatory processes, and controls whole-body homeostasis. This Antioxidants Special Issue is dedicated to collecting original articles and reviews focusing on the crosstalk between skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, and the role of oxidative stress in that communication.
We look forward to your contribution.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
