Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the coming years, age-related diseases will increase. These diseases mainly include cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, ocular diseases (cataract, age-related macular degeneration), type-2 and -3 diabetes, inflammatory diseases of the joints and intestines, osteoporosis and some cancers. In these diseases, the role of lipids (saturated fatty acids, mono- and poly-unsaturated fatty acids, trans fatty acids, cholesterol, phytosterols, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, maresines, protectines, resolvines) or of certain products deriving from lipid peroxidation (oxysterols, oxy-phytosterols, malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal) is widely suspected. It is therefore important to better know the deleterious and/or beneficial biological activities of these lipids by specifying their activities on oxidative stress, organelles, inflammation, and on the life/death balance to identify therapeutic targets and develop new drugs capable of modulating their activities. These drugs, which can be or not natural compounds, can be functionalized, for example being associated with nanoparticles or microencapsulated. These different aspects can be addressed in this Special Issue, entitled “Lipids and Lipid Peroxidation Products in the Pathogenesis of Age-Related Diseases” and be include research articles, reviews and mini-reviews.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
