Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Antioxidants that focuses on antioxidants and liver disease. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), a term coined in 2018, has replaced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Chronic liver diseases of metabolic origin have diverse causes, including genetics, epigenetics, and the composition of the microbiota. Oxidative stress has been implicated in disease progression by several mechanisms associated with hepatocyte damage. The recent pandemic, which led to prolonged periods of lockdown and sedentary lifestyles, further exacerbated the risk factors of obesity and metabolic syndrome, both of which are associated with an increase in oxidative stress. All three contribute to liver disease progression, especially when combined with increased alcohol consumption, a lack of exercise, being elderly, and a number of other risk factors. We invite submissions to this Special Issue of original research articles, reviews, and case studies related to MAFLD, antioxidants, liver damage mechanisms, etc. Contributions exploring the latest advancements in our understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of liver disease are particularly welcome. We look forward to your valuable contributions to this important area of research.
Sincerely,
Dr. Alejandra Espinosa Escalona
Guest Editor
