Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microbiome and oxidative stress processes have a complex and multifaceted relationship and there is increasing evidence that the microbiome plays a crucial role in modulating oxidative stress, a discovery that can have significant implications for human health. Microbes are known to produce metabolites that either promote or inhibit oxidative stress by producing antioxidant compounds or generating reactive oxygen species, thereby contributing to redox-related processes. In addition, the microbiome has been demonstrated to possess immunomodulatory properties, which may influence the immune and inflammatory responses, both of which are related to oxidative stress. Accordingly, the growing understanding of the intricate relationship between the microbiome and oxidative stress is presented as a promising alternative in the treatment and management of various pathological conditions.
Please submit your latest research findings (including in vitro and in vivo studies) or a review article to this Special Issue, which will bring together the latest research on the microbiome and its role in oxidative stress. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- The mechanisms by which the microbiome influences redox processes or signaling;
- The impact of dysbiosis on oxidative stress in health and disease;
- The effect of the microbiome on antioxidant status;
- How the composition of the microbiome is affected by reactive species;
- How dysbiosis is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation;
- The inhibition and management of oxidative stress by the microbiome.
Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

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.
