Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aging and associated chronic disease incidence, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cancer, osteoarthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease, among others, have been increasing in recent years. Although these pathological states are produced by several diverse causes, there is abundant evidence that oxidative stress plays a key role in the development and progression of both aging and chronic diseases. Oxidative stress is defined as a disbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and the antioxidant defences that lead to cell damage due to the oxidation of nucleic acids, lipids and proteins.
Currently, numerous experimental and clinical studies have focused their attention on elucidating the role of oxidative stress in the development and progression of aging and chronic disease. While many authors have focused on elucidating the underlying mechanisms and possible signaling pathways, others have attempted to find new therapeutic strategies to slow the development of aging and associated chronic diseases by decreasing oxidative stress.
We encourage scientists and clinicians to contribute with original articles describing novel mechanisms by which oxidative stress contributes to the development of chronic diseases or aging as well as new therapeutic strategies to treat or prevent this pathological status in which oxidative stress might be involved. Reviews that summarize recent findings in both basic and clinical research and discuss current outcome are also welcome.

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.
