Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antioxidant abilities are one of the most researched bioactive mechanisms due to their role in the prevention of oxidative stress events and related diseases, such as inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, aging-related disorders, and cancer, among others. This perception, along with a general consumer acceptance of natural products, makes antioxidants of natural origin very attractive for use as health-promoting agents in a variety of products, including functional foods, supplements, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
Contributions to this Special Issue, both in the form of original research and review articles, may cover all aspects of antioxidants, such as natural products, including their extraction by conventional and nonconventional methods; purification and structural characterization of new compounds; in vitro and in vivo biological activities of extracts, isolated compounds or new formulated products; structure–bioactive relations; antioxidant mechanisms; interactions with other substances in the formulated matrices; bioavailability and innovative delivery systems for antioxidants; pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of natural antioxidants; relevance of natural products to human health; and the safety and stability of new formulated products.
