Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue looks at oxidative stress (OS), often known as the red/ox state of biological systems and food, and the source knowledge on it, with an emphasis on the relationship between electrochemistry, life, and antioxidant species. Rapid, easy, and sensitive methods are available from the field of electroanalytical chemistry for determining the redox properties and antioxidant activity of physiologically relevant substances in a wide range of samples.
OS is a relatively novel physiological response concept, recognized in medicine and biology in the last three decades. An imbalance of (pro)oxidants and antioxidants in living organisms is at the root of this phenomenon, which is linked to the fundamental redox reactions that are responsible for health signaling and other essential life activities. Many diseases and disorders have been linked to OS. In fact, a notable rise in electrochemical investigations of OS and quantification of its reductant–oxidant indicators (signaling agents), such as reactive oxygen species and antioxidants, has been demonstrated in recent years.
This Special Issue aims to provide a high-level introduction to the contemporary electrochemical analysis and sensor technologies used to track indicators of OS and antioxidant status in living systems or in lab systems via scientific contributions published by experts in the field. A link between cutting-edge electrochemical study and 21st-century medical diagnostics is also the aim of this Special Issue through a discussion of the promising applications of potentiometric and voltammetric techniques in human health evaluation, antioxidants species, and the redox properties and antioxidant activity of relevant substances.

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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
