Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antioxidant therapy effectively addresses oxidative stress-related diseases. These conditions arise from the depletion of endogenous antioxidants, which leads to oxidative stress. Therefore, supplementation with exogenous antioxidants, including vitamins and polyphenols, has been suggested as a solution. However, some studies report potential drawbacks, such as neutralizing beneficial reactive oxygen species (ROS) or requiring excessive doses for effectiveness, making clinical application challenging. Oxidative stress plays a role in various contexts, from pathological conditions to fatigue and the side effects of anticancer drugs. Therefore, the rapid and precise replenishment of antioxidants that specifically counteract harmful ROS is crucial.
The first edition of our topic was a success (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/antioxidants/special_issues/20Z49430A5), with eight articles and two reviews proposing new antioxidant therapies, such as dietary regulation, and attempting to elucidate oxidative stress from a new perspective. New approaches to antioxidant therapy have provided new perspectives on controlling antioxidant activity in the body and have greatly contributed to the development of this research field. Therefore, this second edition welcomes submissions that approach antioxidant therapy using novel ideas that differ from existing antioxidant therapies, including gene therapy, and the elucidation of in vivo antioxidant mechanisms.
Sincerely,
Dr. Yoshihisa Koyama
Guest Editor
