Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hundreds of edible berry species are cultivated or grow in the wild around the world. Berry fruits are known to be rich in a variety of bioactive compounds, especially phenolic compounds, including anthocyanins, a well-known antioxidant. Although a series of in vitro and in vivo studies have reported the beneficial effects of berries and their bioactive compounds in the regulation of various cellular functions related to oxidative stress and/or antioxidant activity, much remains to be elucidated to comprehensively understand the antioxidant capacity of berries and their active ingredients, along with their preventive effects against oxidative stress.
In this regard, this Special Issue of Antioxidants will provide an up-to-date perspective of this topic. We invite you to submit your latest research findings related to the antioxidant activity of berries and/or their active components, including both in vitro and in vivo studies, to this Special Issue. We particularly encourage the submission of clinical evidence supporting the role of berries in counteracting oxidative stress in humans. Submissions of review articles related to antioxidant activities of berries are also welcome.
We look forward to your contributions to this topic.
Dr. Hyun-Tai Lee
Guest Editor
