Antioxidants in Human Health and Disease

Dear colleagues,

In the last few decades, a significant rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases underlined by subclinical inflammation and oxidative stress has been observed. Many factors might have contributed to this phenomenon, including dietary, behavioral, and environmental factors. Unquestionably, a transition from healthy dietary patterns characterized by a high intake of antioxidant-rich foods to Western-like dietary patterns characterized by a high intake of processed foods deprived of essential nutrients plays a role in the higher prevalence of chronic diseases.

Therefore, this Special Issue will gather evidence on the effects of antioxidants and antioxidant-rich foods on human health and chronic diseases, and improve our understanding of their beneficial mechanisms, which in turn may contribute to the prevention and development of novel therapies.

This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original contributions, including experimental studies, clinical trials, and observational studies, as well as reviews of published literature exploring and summarizing the effect of antioxidant-rich foods, individual antioxidants, and their metabolites toward non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases or related to conditions such as aging, quality of life, mental health, and sleep disorders.
