Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Some metals, such as zinc, selenium, and magnesium, have antioxidant properties. Metallothionein, a small molecular weight protein is very efficient in removing hydroxyl ions and, thus, is an important factor in decreasing oxidative stress. There are other metals, such as iron and copper, which upregulate generation of •OH and, thus, increase reactive oxygen species (ROS). We plan to cover these elements in our symposium.
