Preface

“Oxidative Stress and Natural Antioxidants” presents the one pot solution for the interested readers ranging from an understanding of oxidative stress, recent advances in preparation methods, characterization, and applications of antioxidants. Taken altogether, the gathered information in this volume will cover an array of topics highlighting the importance of natural antioxidants in various oxidative stress associated diseases.

The scientific framework of this e-book contains chapters by eminent experts with in-depth knowledge of antioxidants and oxidative stress. The chapters comprise the role of reactive oxygen species and environmental contaminants in redox homeostasis with cellular mechanisms in oxidative stress that trigger the development and progression of many diseases. The literature includes the extraction, profiling, and characterization of antioxidants via different procedures and screening assays. Further, the chapters deliberate the role of antioxidants in human physiology, redox homeostasis, intrinsic cellular mechanisms, and their therapeutic potential with industrial prospects. Authors whose names appear on the chapters have remarkably contributed to the scientific work in this ebook and are responsible and accountable for any scientific queries or questions.

We believe that the chapters published in this volume will enrich the understanding of interdisciplinary domains of natural products as well as offer insights into emerging avenues in drug discovery trends.
