Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress is a key hallmark of the progression of various diseases. An imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the antioxidant defence mechanisms of our body leads to oxidative stress. A high level of ROS is toxic to cells and may lead to damage to various cellular components, induce lipid peroxidation, activate immune cells etc. ROS are unstable reactive free radicals containing oxygen produced by various enzymes such as xanthine oxidase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase, and lipoxygenases in cells, including those produced by mitochondria or due to the uncoupling of nitric oxide synthase in vascular cells. Obesity, environmental pollutants, certain medications, exposure to radiation, cigarette smoking, chronic alcohol consumption, and the inhalation of/exposure to certain industrial chemicals or pesticides are risk factors for oxidative stress. Our body's immune system also produces ROS to combat pathogenic infections. Researchers are interested in targeting ROS production using various plant-based or synthetic promising antioxidants. The role of mitochondrial targeted antioxidants in ameliorating oxidative damage has recently been explored by various research labs around the globe.
This Special Issue of the journal International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, “Oxidative Stress/Antioxidant Research”, aims to cover recent research updates to highlight the promising findings in the field of oxidative stress/antioxidant research. Original articles, communications, and reviews related to these topics are welcome for submission.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 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 2500 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.
