Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Numerous studies have shown that oxidative stress is a key factor in cellular degeneration. The accumulation of chronic oxidative stress leads to deleterious cellular processes associated with ageing and a wide variety of age-related degenerative diseases. Oxidative damage to our cells as a result of poor diet and lifestyle choices are likely to accelerate ageing and lead to the development of degenerative diseases.
There has been a growing awareness of the role of naturally occurring compounds as attractive targets that may prevent or slow down cellular loss. Further investigation in this subject will provide renewed insight on the implication of oxidative stress in degenerative disorders, and contribute to the growing awareness of the role of natural botanicals as future therapies for neurodegeneration and brain ageing.
We invite authors to submit original research and review articles that seek to improve our understanding of the role of oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, mitochondrial function, antioxidants, polyphenols and inflammation in the pathophysiology of age-related disorders.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Research in mitochondrial function and cellular respiration, reactive oxygen species, and nitric oxide on cell viability;
- Recent advances on the impact of oxidative stress in degenerative disorders;
- Role of inflammatory mediators in free radical generation;
- Recent developments in natural occurring phytochemicals as degenerative diseases therapies.

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.
