Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress, defined as the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidant mechanisms, is considered to play a central role in the pathophysiology of different diseases. Free radicals produced in the human body or received environmentally oxidize both lipids and proteins, causing the production of lipid peroxides and oxidized forms of proteins. Lipid peroxidation alters cell membranes and lipoprotein structure, initiating atherosclerotic plaque formation and increasing the risk for cardiovascular diseases and microvascular dysfunction of different organs. In parallel, protein oxidation, caused either directly by free radicals or indirectly by oxidative stress by-products, is crucial for the modification of their structure and disruption of their function, leading to the development of different pathologies.
This Special Issue aims to provide physicians with useful information about the role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of different diseases and about the role of antioxidants in the prevention of the oxidation of lipids and proteins in the frame of each disease. Therefore, manuscripts in the field of neurology, nephrology, hematology, cardiology, endocrinology, pneumology, and other medical specialties are welcome in this Special Issue. Moreover, manuscripts presenting results of basic research in the fields of lipidomics and redox proteomics can offer useful information on the role of oxidative modifications of lipids and proteins in pathological conditions.
We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue by sharing your updated knowledge and your novel research results.

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.
