Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) was initially considered a circulating hormonal system that played a major role in the regulation of blood pressure as well as sodium and water homeostasis. However, local or paracrine RASs were later identified in many tissues, including in the brain. The tissue RAS basically consists of two arms, a pro-oxidative and pro-inflammatory axis in addition to an anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory axis, that counteract each other to establish a correct balance in physiological conditions. The dysregulation of the tissue RAS is involved in different diseases and aging-related processes. In the brain, results from experimental models and clinical trials have involved the RAS in the progression of major neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson´s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurodegenerative processes via the promotion of oxidative stress and oxidative-stress-related mechanisms. Consistent with this, RAS-modulating drugs have been suggested as a possible neuroprotective strategy against the progression of neurodegeneration.
We invite you to submit your latest research findings or a review article to this Special Issue, which will bring together current research concerning RAS and neurodegeneration. This Special Issue can include both clinical and experimental studies aiming to clarify possible mechanisms connecting the RAS and neurodegeneration as well as possible neuroprotective strategies based on RAS modulation.
We look forward to your contributions.

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.
