Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue titled "Role of Bioactive Compounds in Oxidative Stress and Inflammation" in the Nutrients journal explores the intricate relationship between bioactive compounds and their potential to modulate oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Oxidative stress, caused by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants, is involved in various chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions. Research in this field has increasingly highlighted the protective roles of dietary bioactive compounds—such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids—found in fruits, vegetables, and other natural sources. This Special Issue aims to shed light on the mechanisms by which these compounds exert their beneficial effects on health, focusing on their antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory actions, and potential in disease prevention and management. Key areas of interest include the bioavailability of these compounds, their interactions within biological systems, and emerging therapeutic applications. By consolidating current findings, this Special Issue aims to advance understanding and promote further research on the use of bioactive compounds as an effective strategy to combat oxidative stress and inflammation.
