Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Numerous studies have shown that excessive oxidative stress is detrimental to human health and the source of many diseases. In recent years, COVID-19 infection and its vaccine sequelae have caused a wide variety of symptoms and diseases due to excessive oxidative stress. On the other hand, there are growing evidences that appropriate administration of antioxidants to humans can improve health and prevent disease. In this special issue, we call for papers on the effects of antioxidants not only in improving health, but also in preventing and treating many diseases such as cancer, dementia, diabetes, atherosclerosis, allergic diseases, and infectious diseases. Basic research on the prevention of diseases and infections by suppressing oxidative stress is also highly encouraged. There are scattered papers on antioxidants' harmful effects on cancer metastasis and health, mostly in animal studies with single or large doses of antioxidants. Manuscripts showing that the right dose of antioxidants is critical for positive effects are also welcome.
