Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress and inflammation both play a critical role in the initiation and progression of common chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, respiratory diseases, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, GI diseases, depression, and chronic pain (to name a few). Emerging evidence has suggested that dietary polyphenols or polyphenol-enriched functional foods found in vegetables, fruits, wine, spices, and herbs have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that could benefit these illnesses. The purpose of this Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled “Antioxidant Mechanism of Polyphenols and Health Benefits”, is to update the current polyphenols’ health benefits from original research (cell, animal, clinical, public health studies) to narrative/systematic reviews of the recent scientific literature in cells and animals or meta-analyses in humans. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I invite scientists to take part in this Special Issue to submit manuscripts that integrate nutrigenetic and nutrigenomic approaches with polyphenols, in order to further examine their role in human health.
