Antioxidant and Redox Regulation of Genes

This volume addresses oxidant-reduction or redox and antioxidant sensitive molecular mechanisms and how they are implicated in different disease processes. Possible strategies to pharmacologically and/or nutritionally manipulate such redox-sensitive molecular responses are emphasized.

• Reactive species as intracellular messengers
• Redox regulation of cellular responses
• Clinical implications of redox signaling and antioxidant therapy
