Description du livre
The book offers a timely and comprehensive overview of how oxidative stress influences chronic disease onset, progression, and management. A balanced view of antioxidants and their protective and potentially harmful effects is presented in this book, which combines cutting-edge biochemical research with practical health applications. A review of mechanisms that regulate cellular health, immune function, and disease resistance is presented in this book. The book focuses on key antioxidative enzymes and redox biology. The book covers topics such as the interactions between reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species, as well as the therapeutic use of natural antioxidants. There will be valuable insights to be gained by readers into: (i) The role that oxidative stress plays in the development of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes. (ii) In terms of their molecular mechanism and biological impact, antioxidants and prooxidants play important roles. (iii) In the fields of food, cosmetics, and medicine, natural product pharmacology, antioxidant delivery systems, and redox-active formulations are of particular interest.
For these reasons, the book starts by pointing out that chronic diseases are becoming a global burden and that a deeper understanding of their molecular basis is urgently needed. A key goal of this book is to bridge the gap between fundamental research and clinical applications by providing an overview of recent advances in mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic strategies for oxidative stress. A valuable resource for biotechnologists, biochemists, biomedical sciences and healthcare professionals working in biochemistry, pharmacology, nutrition and natural product chemistry and doctoral students who wish to understand and address the complex interactions between oxidative stress and chronic diseases, this book can be of great assistance to them.
