Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress arises from an inequality between the body's overall presence of reactive oxygen species and the biological system's capacity to neutralize these reactive compounds and efficiently mend the consequent harm. Imbalances in cellular redox equilibrium may lead to toxicity by generating peroxides and free radicals, which harm cellular constituents such as proteins, lipids, and DNA. Many reports have shown that the accumulation of oxidative stress can be the main cause of various diseases that appear as we age. To suppress this oxidative stress, antioxidant enzymes such as catalase exist in our bodies, and various antioxidants such as polyphenol exist in nature. These antioxidants are used in a variety of industries, including cosmetics and health-functional foods. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we will cover the effects of various antioxidants that exist in nature and their organic synthetic derivatives.
