Special Issue Information
Most neurons in the mammalian brain remain functionally active for many decades, possessing complex mechanisms that ensure the preservation of cell viability and functionality. High metabolic and mitochondrial activity of neurons, as well as frequent shifts in the intracellular ion balance, imposes a number of requirements on the brain, including the task of neutralizing the associated reactive oxygen species to prevent oxidative damage. Neurons have a relatively weak internal antioxidant system. Their electrical activity is associated with the regulation of the antioxidant defense system of neurons. In addition, they are able to engage astrocytes in providing antioxidant support to nearby neurons. As a result, both of these ways of maintaining antioxidant defense in neurons and astrocytes contribute to increasing the resistance of neurons to oxidative injury.
This Special issue aims to publish current research related to all aspects of the study of the role of antioxidants in neurons. Researchers are invited to submit original research articles and reviews to this Special Issue.

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).
