Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this second Special Issue edition of Antioxidants. This Special Issue aims to highlight studies related to the antioxidant capacity of natural products. Excessive oxidative stress arises from an imbalance between the production of oxidant derivatives and the defense mechanisms of antioxidants. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are widely recognized as harmful to health, capable of damaging cellular macromolecules and leading to processes such as apoptosis and necrosis. Numerous natural substances can act as antioxidants. Among these, dietary phytochemicals—including phenolic compounds, vitamins, and carotenoids—are potent antioxidants that can scavenge and neutralize free radicals to prevent cellular damage. Researchers are actively investigating the properties and activities of promising antioxidants derived from natural sources as potential countermeasures against metabolic disorders. Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes original research papers and review articles focusing on the antioxidant effects of various natural resources, as well as the mechanisms underlying their antioxidant actions, both in vivo and in vitro.
We invite research and review articles on topics such as, but not limited to, the following:
- The role of antioxidants in preventing chronic diseases;
- Synergistic effects of combined natural antioxidants;
- Antioxidant activity and their potential applications;
- Therapeutic potential of antioxidant-rich natural products;
- Evaluation of antioxidant properties in traditional medicinal plants.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Younghwa Kim
Guest Editor
