Description
Summary:Oxidative stress is defined as the imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant defence favouring the former. [...]enhanced oxidative stress occurs when ROS formation is increased by an array of exogenous and endogenous factors, for example, smoking, exposure to pollution, unhealthy diet, and chronic/low-grade inflammation, when the antioxidant defence capacity is compromised or both. Enhanced oxidative stress has been appreciated for its contribution to the pathogenesis of noncommunicable diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, cancer, and brain disorders). [...]to protect and prevent ROS-related pathogenesis, enhancing antioxidant defence through diets appears to be a viable strategy. [...]this special issue highlights the importance of using different methodological approaches in order to clarify the mechanisms of the potential health effects of nutraceuticals.
