Oxidative Stress and Disease
About the Book Series
Oxidative stress is an underlying factor in health and disease. In this series of books, the importance of oxidative stress and disease associated with organ systems is highlighted by exploring the scientific evidence and the clinical applications of this knowledge. This series is intended for researchers in the basic biomedical sciences and clinicians.

Frailty Syndrome: Basic and Clinical Aspects
1st Edition
Edited
By María Carmen Gómez-Cabrera, José Viña, Leocadio Rodríguez-Mañas
October 31, 2025
Frailty, a geriatric syndrome with a defined phenotype, was introduced by Linda Fried and Jeremy Walston; it is widely cited. The importance of this syndrome cannot be overstated: Frailty has an enormous relevance in clinical settings, and there are clear biological bases behind its phenotype. This...
Oxidative Eustress in Exercise Physiology
1st Edition
Edited
By James N. Cobley, Gareth W. Davison
August 26, 2024
Oxidative Eustress in Exercise Physiology unravels key physiological responses and adaptations to different redox-regulated exercise paradigms at the cell, tissue, and whole-body level in model systems and humans in health and disease. While the mechanistic details are still unclear, key ...
Redox Biology in Plasma Medicine
1st Edition
Edited
By Sander Bekeschus, Thomas von Woedtke
July 12, 2024
Plasma medicine uses non-equilibrium plasmas generated under atmospheric-pressure conditions. Therapeutical plasmas can stimulate tissue regeneration or inactivate cancer cells. This book reviews the interrelation between plasma chemistry and biochemistry complemented by discussion of the ways ...
The Dynamic Nature of Mitochondria: from Ultrastructure to Health and Disease
1st Edition
Edited
By Andreas S. Reichert
April 15, 2024
Mitochondrial research has exploded over the last ~150 years. This book gives an amazing view on a conceptual change in our understanding of mitochondrial biology. It becomes clear that mitochondria are extremely dynamic in nature, controlling life at multiple levels. Mitochondria rule energy ...
Mammalian Heme Peroxidases: Diverse Roles in Health and Disease
1st Edition
Edited
By Clare Hawkins, William M Nauseef
January 29, 2024
Mammalian heme peroxidase enzymes play a critical role in innate immune responses and disease prevention. The formation of potent chemical oxidants is essential to this protective physiologic activity in immunity. Although highly beneficial in the context of immune defense, it is now well ...
Proteostasis and Proteolysis
1st Edition
Edited
By Niki Chondrogianni, Elah Pick, Anna Gioran
January 29, 2024
Proteostasis integrates biological pathways controlling biogenesis, trafficking, folding, and degradation of proteins. This book focuses on two protein breakdown/degradation processes (proteolysis), which are part of a normally functioning proteostatic system: the ubiquitin-proteasome system and ...
Redox Regulation of Differentiation and De-differentiation
1st Edition
Edited
By Carsten Berndt, Christopher Lillig
January 29, 2024
Cell differentiation and the development of multicellular organisms are processes of self-assembly, controlled and driven by signaling molecules and cascades including redox regulation. These reactions may have provided the energy for the first metabolic steps in the evolution of life. Today, redox...
Environmental Stressors and OxInflammatory Tissues Responses
1st Edition
Edited
By Giuseppe Valacchi, Andreas Daiber
December 15, 2023
Environmental risk factors – noise, air pollution, chemical agents, and ultraviolet radiation – impact human health by contributing to the onset and progression of noncommunicable diseases. Accordingly, there is need for preclinical and clinical studies and comprehensive summary of major ...
Peroxiporins: Redox Signal Mediators In and Between Cells
1st Edition
Edited
By Iria Medraño-Fernandez, Gerd Patrick Bienert, Roberto Sitia
October 11, 2023
To produce energy, aerobic organisms transform oxygen molecules into water. This reductive mechanism yields toxic radical intermediates, collectively known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). Paradoxically, these physiological processes entail the production of potentially damaging species. Evolution...
Physiological Consequences of Brain Insulin Action
1st Edition
Edited
By André Kleinridders
September 06, 2022
The brain is crucial for the regulation of whole-body metabolism and behavior. The pancreas-derived hormone insulin modulates brain function and affects energy metabolism as well as cognition. This is partially achieved by modulating several types of brain cell populations including those relevant ...
