Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress, resulting from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant defenses, plays a significant role in the onset and progression of various reproductive health issues in women. Factors such as diet, environmental exposures, and lifestyle choices can exacerbate oxidative stress, impacting fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and overall reproductive well-being.
This Special Issue aims to explore the intricate relationship between dietary antioxidants and women’s reproductive health. We invite original research articles and reviews that delve into the following areas:
- The impact of dietary antioxidants on female fertility and reproductive outcomes.
- Mechanisms by which oxidative stress influences various conditions, like polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, preeclampsia,etc.
- The role of specific nutrients and bioactive compounds in modulating oxidative stress in reproductive tissues.
- Interventions and lifestyle modifications aimed at reducing oxidative damage to the female reproductive system.
By consolidating current research and insights, this Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how nutritional antioxidants can serve as potential therapeutic agents in managing oxidative stress-related reproductive disorders.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to this important area of women’s health.
Dr. Miran Čoklo
Guest Editor
