Presents basic, chemical, biological, and medical studies of free radicals on different targets and the consequences of their reactivity-covering the chemistry and biochemistry of free radicals, free radicals as second messengers that group the activation of transcription factors and enzymes, the importance of the antioxidant system in cell metabolism regulation, and the role of free radicals and antioxidants in disease management.
