Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For millennia, there has been a documented correlation between human health and sickness and nutrition. Due to the geographic origin of humans, there is a great deal of variation in diet composition among different populations. The human diet is a rich source of bioactive molecules and antioxidants, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and animal sources. Ninety percent of the human diet is composed of plant-based sources, primarily flavonoids and phenolic acids, which are polyphenols with antioxidant potential. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes, renal disease, cancer, neurological disorders, obesity, and aging are among the degenerative diseases caused by oxidative stress, which is caused by an excess of free radicals that are not neutralized by antioxidant defense enzymes. Antioxidant dietary supplements are therefore a promising way to treat these illnesses. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we aim to provide an overview of the topics of diet, antioxidants, and the function of various antioxidant constituents of plants. In vitro or in vitro studies and reviews on the beneficial effects of various antioxidant-derived foods and other antioxidant system stimulators are welcome.

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 Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
