Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The antioxidant system of the human body suppresses various diseases caused by external oxidative stress. In particular, the human body uses oxygen essential for metabolism and energy generation and normally excretes water and carbon dioxide. However, if it is not completely reduced, it becomes highly reactive and harmful active oxygen, which induces inflammatory reactions. Inflammation is one of the defense responses of the body to external stimuli and is a mechanism by which damaged tissue regenerates. However, persistent inflammatory responses can lead to chronic inflammatory diseases, cancers, aging, and various adult diseases. Therefore, research on candidate substances that can suppress active oxygen and inflammatory reactions is being actively conducted. Synthetic drugs are widely used due to their superior efficacy and economic efficiency, while safety concerns call for the development of natural antioxidants.
This Special Issue provides an update on the beneficial effects of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents from natural products and uses various in vitro and in vivo disease models to represent the underlying molecular mechanisms of their biological activity. We invite you to submit your latest research results or review articles.
Potential topics include the isolation and analysis of compounds from natural products and their use for suppressing oxidative stress and inflammatory responses; and health-enhancing effects of natural products on chronic diseases, including inflammatory diseases, cancers, aging, and oxidative-stress-related diseases.
