Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue meticulously synthesizes contemporary research, unravelling the intricate mechanisms through which antioxidants, present in both foods and natural products, contribute to overall well-being. Operating at molecular and clinical levels, prospective manuscripts offer nuanced insights into the complex interplay between antioxidants and physiological processes, emphasizing the significance of a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and other nutrient-dense sources.
Beyond conventional paradigms, the collection delves into the absorption, distribution and metabolism of antioxidants and their communication with oxidative-stress-related molecular signalling pathways, elucidating their role in mitigation of pathological processes and disease prevention. The nuanced exploration in preclinical and clinical settings extends to encompass various natural sources materials, broadening the understanding of how antioxidants influence health. Catering to researchers, healthcare professionals, and individuals seeking evidence-based knowledge, this special issue serves as a comprehensive resource, providing a sophisticated perspective on health-enhancing properties of antioxidants in both foods and broader biological contexts. It establishes itself as a valuable reference for navigating the entangled landscape of antioxidant research and its implications for promoting healthy lifestyle in general.
