Description
Book SynopsisDiscovering sensitive and specific biomarkers for systemic oxidative damage is essential to better understand the role of oxidative stress in human disease. Once these roles are more clearly understood we are able to identify novel drug and nutraceutical targets.
Trade Review"Chemists, pharmacologists, and other researchers describe the principles behind current methods for measuring antioxidant activity and oxidative stress and their practical applications in specific health situations." (
