Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In view of the great response that we received to the previous Special Issue "Biological Potential of Antioxidant Compounds from Vegetable Sources", we decided to revisit this topic.
In recent decades, it has been established that oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the generation and progression of different pathological conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and age-related disorders. Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) production and the physiological human antioxidant defense. In this context, great attention has been paid to natural antioxidant compounds as natural human health-protecting agents.
It is well known that fruits and vegetables are the richest sources of reducing molecules and the most studied are phenolic compounds, carotenoids, vitamins, triterpenic acids and some minerals (e.g., selenium and zinc). Different cellular molecular mechanisms have been proposed, being limited not only to the evaluation of their radical scavenger and ferric reducing activities but also the positive regulation of transcriptional factors involved in the induction of antioxidant endogenous enzyme expression.
In this Special Issue, we invite researchers to provide original research articles, clinical reports and review articles related to every type of natural antioxidant. We are waiting for articles from researchers in a wide range of fields such as food chemistry, cosmetics, medicine, nutrition and biochemistry. We want this Special Issue to provide a valuable collection of new knowledge in this field.

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.
