Handbook of Antioxidants (Oxidative Stress and Disease)

Handbook of Antioxidants (Oxidative Stress and Disease)
by Lester Packer (Author), Enrique Cadenas (Author)

Univ. of Southern California, Los Angeles. Presents most recent research on the biochemical, physiological, and clinical aspects of antioxidant molecules. Explores the metabolism, efficacy, and current therapeutic applications of vitamins, carotenoids, polyphenols, flavonoids, lipoic acid, glutathione, and melatonin. Previous edition: c1996.

Reactive Oxygen Metabolites: Chemistry and Medical Consequences

Reactive Oxygen Metabolites: Chemistry and Medical Consequences
by Manfred K. Eberhardt (Author)

In recent years, the field of radical chemistry has undergone explosive growth. Although its roots lie in organic chemistry, the implications of its findings are having enormous impact in a broad range of disciplines, and we now have evidence for radical involvement in over 100 diseases. As important as this is, however, the subject of radicals and reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) is complex and barely touched upon in the curriculum of medical schools. Reactive Oxygen Metabolites brings the...

Oxygen/Nitrogen Radicals: Lung Injury and Disease (Lung Biology in Health and Disease)

Oxygen/Nitrogen Radicals: Lung Injury and Disease (Lung Biology in Health and Disease)
by Val Vallyathan (Editor), Vincent Castranova (Editor), Xianglin Shi (Editor)

The first state-of-the-art book dealing specifically with lung injury induced by oxygen and nitrogen radicals, this detailed treatise discusses molecular, cellular, and mechanistic events leading to pathophysiological outcomes; the role of oxidant species in the induction of these events; and potential therapeutic avenues targeting such molecular pathways. Important issues regarding oxidative stress involvement in the initiation and progression of pulmonary diseases—including diseases caused...



EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Product Description
Focusing on the redox regulation of cell signaling responsible for oxidative stress and inflammatory tissue damage, this reference presents a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research on the intracellular events mediating or preventing oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory processes induced by endogenous and xenobiotic factors. It provides a mechanistic basis for cellular alterations by pro-oxidative and pro-inflammatory insults, introduces recent methods to combat oxidative stress and inflammatory damage, contains the latest studies on the regulation of gene expression by oxidants and antioxidants, and explores chemopreventive strategies targeting intracellular signaling.
