Gut Microbiota and Oxidative Stress

Dear Colleagues,

The gut microbiota is crucial in the regulation of the antioxidative state in the host. Oxidative stress is involved in multiple physiological functions; in the context of metabolism, however, the mechanisms for host antioxidation and utilization of oxygen are paradoxical.

This Special Issue aims to focus on knowledge gaps associated with the interplay between gut microbiota and the balance of antioxidation and oxidative stress. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following themes:

• The role of microbial metabolites in host oxidative stress;
• The role of microbiota and microbial metabolites in oxidative-stress-mediated pathological changes in immune system, cardiovascular system, kidney, brain, etc.;
• Specific bacterial strains and their effects on host oxidative stress responses.
