Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sex (biological constructs) and gender (social constructs) differences are very common in epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, disease progression, and responses to treatment. Some of these sex differences begin during pregnancy and early extrauterine life. Oxidative stress refers to a relative surplus of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is caused by excessive ROS generation and/or impaired ROS degradation. Oxidative stress plays a central role in the development of many pathological conditions, and sex/gender differences in susceptibility and response to oxidative stress are often considered to underlie differences in disease development. In addition, ROS are not always associated with deleterious effects and can act as cell signalling molecules. There are several examples of sex differences that may also affect this physiological role of ROS. This Special Issue aims to present original research and reviews focusing on sex and/or gender differences in ROS physiology and the pathophysiology of oxidative stress. The scope of this Special Issue ranges from early embryonic and fetal development to adult life.
