Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid increase in prevalence and the lack of effective therapeutics, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) directly impacts approximately one-fourth of the global population and is gradually becoming a serious issue. While the precise pathogenesis of NAFLD is still not fully understood, it is widely believed to involve a complex interplay with genetic and various environmental factors. As is well known, excessive oxidative stress can significantly accelerate the progression of the NAFLD by inducing lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and other related factors. However, there remains a notable gap in extensive research regarding how diverse environmental factors impact the progression of NAFLD through oxidative stress, like gut microbiota, lifestyle, food and beverage, and mental stress. Therefore, this Special Issue, entitled 'The Role of Oxidative Stress in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease', aims to select contributions on the advances in research on oxidative stress and its association with NAFLD. We welcome the submission of original research and review articles addressing etiology, mechanism, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and prognosis of NAFLD, with a specific focus on oxidative stress. We look forward to your valuable contributions.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Exploring the interaction mechanism between oxidative stress and NAFLD;
- Studying how antioxidants attenuate NAFLD in relation to oxidative stress;
- Future perspectives for novel antioxidant-associated strategy for NAFLD;
- Considering the potential of personalized therapies and diagnostics based on the status of oxidative stress.
