Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Oxidative Stress in Hepatic Diseases" focuses on the pivotal role of oxidative stress in the progression and pathology of various liver diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), alcoholic liver disease, viral hepatitis, and liver fibrosis. Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the liver's antioxidant defense systems, leading to cellular damage and inflammatory responses that drive liver disease progression. This issue aims to explore the mechanisms through which oxidative stress impacts hepatic health, including mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid peroxidation, and inflammatory cascades. We invite research on the molecular pathways involved, the identification of novel biomarkers for early diagnosis, and potential therapeutic strategies targeting oxidative stress. Through both original research and review articles, this Special Issue seeks to provide insights into innovative approaches to reduce oxidative damage, improve liver function, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes in hepatic disease management.

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.
