Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Antioxidants, “Flavonoids and Chronic Diseases II”.
Flavonoids belong to polyphenols and are widely distributed in nature, such as fruits, vegetables, and tea. More than 9000 different flavonoid compounds have been described in plants, which play an important biological role by influencing various developmental processes. Flavonoids are divided into many subclasses: anthocyanidins, flavanols, flavanones, flavonols, flavones, and isoflavones. It is well known that flavonoids have antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic effects in in vivo and in vitro studies. Nevertheless, we must continuously discover the effects of individual compounds or food extracts rich in flavonoids throughout various evidence levels such as in vivo, epidemiology, clinical trials, and systemic reviews.
As a dietary component, flavonoids are thought to have health-promoting properties due to their high antioxidant capacity in both in vivo and in vitro systems. Flavonoids have the ability to induce human protective enzyme systems. A number of studies have suggested the protective effects of flavonoids against many infectious (bacterial and viral diseases) and degenerative diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and other age-related diseases.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
