Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The beneficial effects of an antioxidant are determined not only by its radical scavenging capacity, but also by its absorption profile and bioavailability, which allows the molecule to reach the target cell or to prevent the long-term oxidation of compounds used in biology, medicine or food, and in the cosmetic industry.
Various systems have been explored to enhance the absorption and/or bioavailability of natural antioxidants: (a) modifications of the structure of the molecule, to enhance its solubility, activity, or stability; and (b) the use of “delivery” systems (nanocarriers, liposomes, etc.) which facilitate transport to the target.
We invite you to submit your latest research findings or a review article to this Special Issue, which will bring together current research regarding the effect of antioxidant structure modifications on antioxidant activity and the results of new carrier systems in enhancing antioxidant transport, cell targeting, and absorption.
This research can include both in vitro and in vivo studies, relating to any of the following topics: (i) the structure/antioxidant activity of modified natural or synthetic antioxidants, or (ii) the role of carrier systems in the enhancement and/or specificity of cell/tissue/organ absorption of the target antioxidant molecule.
We look forward to receiving your contribution.
Dr. Daniela Tofani
Guest Editor
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.
