Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The regular consumption of fruits and vegetables has preventative effects against various chronic diseases that are closely associated with oxidative stress and inflammation due to the presence of bioactive compounds. Dietary bioactives, particularly phytochemicals such as polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins, and fibers, are recognized for their beneficial health properties, including their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Therefore, bioactives appear to be novel candidates for both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Nevertheless, some pharmacokinetic drawbacks, including reduced intestinal absorption, low bioavailability, and rapid metabolic modifications, should be assessed to exploit their therapeutical properties.
The purpose of this Special Issue, entitled "Antioxidant Effects of Bioactive Ingredients in Humans: Insights From the Cellular and Molecular Levels", is to collect and discuss the recent developments in research regarding all of the aspects of bioactive compounds that are involved in various diseases, mediated by inflammatory and oxidative processes. More specifically, original papers should focus on the implication of dietary bioactive compounds in different molecular pathways and propose modern cell and molecular biology methodologies. Furthermore, considering bioavailability as a key element to ensure the bioefficacy of these compounds, studies on the absorption and metabolism of dietary bioactive compounds are appreciated. This Special Issue will include both original scientific research and systematic reviews.

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. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
