Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The physiological mechanisms behind high blood pressure and the development of arterial hypertension have been extensively researched in recent times. Furthermore, steady advancements in creating new and potent antihypertensive medications, along with their proper use in regulating blood pressure, have enhanced our ability to effectively treat conditions marked by abnormal BP levels. The mechanisms that lead to the breakdown of the body’s own systems that help maintain normal blood pressure levels have not been fully explained yet. Recent findings indicate that natural antioxidants from plant extracts may offer a solution for preventing arterial hypertension. Specifically, research suggests that natural antioxidants could improve the survival of endothelial cells that are facing oxidative stress. This impact may be vital in the physiological processes linked to the initial phases of arterial hypertension.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
