Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Redox disturbance is a common feature of respiratory disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. Perturbed redox signalling as a result of increased reactive oxygen species production or decreased endogenous antioxidant capacity can lead to adaptive and maladaptive changes in cellular function. In the context of respiratory muscle, redox imbalance can disrupt cellular homeostasis, culminating in diminished respiratory muscle force-generating capacity and decreased resistance to fatigue. Strategies aimed at promoting redox balance in respiratory muscles are attractive as adjunctive therapies for respiratory disease.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and literature reviews concerning respiratory muscle redox modulation and novel approaches aimed at targeting redox imbalance across the spectrum of health and disease.

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.
