Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress (OS) is essential in the pathogenesis of human chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and kidney diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, inflammation-related diseases, and aging. OS is a condition characterized by an imbalance between the production and accumulation of oxygen and nitrogen reactive species (ROS/RNS) in cells and tissues, and it occurs when the generation of these compounds exceeds the ability of the biological system to neutralize them.
ROS/RNS, such as superoxide (O2•−), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radical (HO•), nitrogen oxide (NO•), peroxynitrite (ONOO−), and hypochlorous acid (HOCl), are all products of normal metabolic pathways in humans; their production may increase as a result of influential external factors, such as pollution, cigarette smoke, or internally, as a result of impaired intracellular metabolism. Long-term exposure to increased levels of ROS/RNS can cause structural defects of lipids, proteins, DNA, and RNA, as well as the functional alteration of several enzymes and cellular structures, leading to an increase in OS and pathogenesis.
We invite you to share your latest original and innovative research findings or review articles in this upcoming Special Issue, “Oxidative-Stress in Human Diseases—3rd Edition”. We welcome clinical and pre-clinical studies on the relationship between OS and human diseases, novel diagnosis methods and mechanisms, as well as approaches for preventing and treating diseases related to OS.
