Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antioxidants are substances that could offset oxidative stress, an imbalance between the production and neutralization of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative stress is one of the major factors that regulates brain health. Dysregulation of the counterbalance mechanisms drives the pathophysiology of brain diseases. Exposure to factors that increase oxidative stress such as foods, drugs, alcohol, chemicals, smoking, pollution, radiation treatment, pathogens and lifestyle-related stress conditions can increase the risk of brain damage and brain dysfunction. Antioxidant machinery, both endogenous and exogenous, is essential for blocking oxidative stress processes. Supplementation of exogenous dietary antioxidants could slow down aging, age-related degeneration, and inflammatory mechanisms, which could benefit brain health. This Special Issue welcomes articles that provide insights into the pathways and ways dietary antioxidants can enhance our complex brain systems and prevent brain disease.

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.
