Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated under physiological conditions are essential to maintain cell homeostasis. However, excessive ROS generation can result in oxidative stress and activate redox-sensitive signaling pathways, thereby provoking the onset and progression of various inflammation-related diseases, i.e., cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, etc.
Recent findings suggest the crucial role of natural agents, especially intestinal flora metabolites, endogenous active substances, and natural compounds with definite structure, in the regulation of various inflammation-related diseases by modulating oxidative stress. Meanwhile, recent evidence has highlighted specific natural agents as a potential therapeutic strategy for modulating oxidative stress and treating inflammation-related diseases. Meanwhile, despite extensive research efforts, the detailed mechanisms of natural agents on maintaining redox homeostasis or mediating inflammation-related diseases remain to be fully understood.
In this Special Issue of Antioxidants (MDPI), we welcome investigators to contribute original research articles reporting data from both experimental and clinical studies, as well as review articles that provide a better understanding of modulatory effects and underlying mechanisms of natural agents on oxidative stress-mediated inflammation and related disease development. It should be noted that for studies involving natural extracts, an accurate chemical and quantitative characterization (using analytical methodologies, such as HPLC, MS, LC–MS, HPLC–MS, and NMR) of active compounds in the extracts is required. In addition, basic and mechanistic research on redox modulation by natural agents under steady state is 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.
