Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mitochondria are the important energy center of cells and the source of free radicals. They have long been a topic of concern in the research of aging, neurodegenerative diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Mitochondrial nutrients refer to a group of nutrients that target mitochondria and can maintain and promote mitochondrial structure and function, including vitamins, polyphenols, trace elements, amino acids, active peptides, oligosaccharides, and other antioxidants. Mitochondrial nutrients can promote mitochondrial function, reduce the accumulation of oxidative products in mitochondria, repair mitochondrial membranes, induce antioxidant enzymes, and activate mitochondrial generation. Due to the central role of mitochondria in oxidative damage, mitochondrial degeneration is closely related to aging-related diseases. Mitochondrial nutrients can effectively alleviate mitochondrial oxidative damage and prevent and treat the occurrence and development of related diseases.
We invite you to submit your latest research findings or a review article to this Special Issue, which will bring together current research concerning the protective effect of natural biological active ingredients on mitochondria and its antioxidant mechanism and study the relationship between mitochondrial function and diseases related to oxidative stress. We are confident that this Special Issue of Antioxidants will contribute to the in-depth understanding of the relationship between mitochondria and the overall antioxidant capacity of cells, as well as the relationship between mitochondrial antioxidant systems and other antioxidant systems in cells, providing new ideas for the prevention and treatment of mitochondria-related diseases.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
