Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrition plays a crucial role in the prevention of chronic diseases, as most of them can be related to lifestyle factors. In particular, foods can affect cellular oxidative stress, which is a risk factor for various diseases. Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the amount of reactive oxygen species and the body’s antioxidant capacity. In this oxidant/antioxidant balance, the diet plays a crucial role. Indeed, dietary nutrients can influence individuals’ total antioxidant capacity, modulating the degree of oxidative stress and affecting the incidence of diseases related to oxidation. Food components can impair the balance between antioxidant and pro-oxidant agents, causing metabolic alterations. The goal of this Special Issue is to assemble a collection of original research and review articles describing the role of foods as a link between cellular oxidative stress and metabolic diseases. Manuscripts that investigate regulatory mechanisms and pathologies related to oxidative stress, focused on the critical role of foods or nutritional interventions, will be considered.
