Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Properly balanced diets rich in nutrients are recognized as crucial in the prevention and dietary treatment of non-communicable diseases. It is very important to recognize the mechanism of action of natural substances that act as antioxidants in in vitro and in vivo studies. The current research lacks thorough descriptions of the mechanisms of action of many naturally occurring antioxidants. Decreases in oxidative stress may decease chronic inflammation, improve the functioning of the immune system and reduce the risk of many diseases. They may also help in identifying the appropriate doses of various bioactives.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Aneta Kopeć
