Produktbeschreibung

This volume collates articles investigating antioxidant, oxidant and free radical research. It examines the role of such research in health and disease, particulary with respect to developing greater understanding about the many interactions between oxidants and antioxidants, and how such substances may act as natural protectants and /or natural toxicants.

---

This book serves as an authoritative source of information on current topics of research in the area of oxidative stress and antioxidant defense systems. It is compiled with the intention of stimulating cross-fertilization of ideas and encouraging synergistic interactions among readers.
