Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few decades, the prevalence of metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and fatty liver diseases, has increased dramatically. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are reactive intermediates of molecular oxygen that act as important second messengers within the cells; however, an imbalance between the generation of reactive ROS and antioxidant defense systems establishes oxidative stress. Previous studies have found that excessive ROS generation is linked to cellular and tissue dysfunction, immune activation, and inflammation that are critical for the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases. Underlying molecular mechanisms leading to oxidative-induced cellular dysfunction include mitochondrial impairment, autophagy, mitophagy, endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis, but there is still much to be learned about their mutual interaction and the modifications they undergo during metabolic diseases. Given the relevance of this topic, it would seem appropriate to summarize some of the main recent advances in the research on the role of oxidative stress and underlying molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases and the new therapeutic strategies to combat their detrimental impact on health, disease and ageing.
Authors are invited to submit both original and review articles related, but not limited, to these interesting topics.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
