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. Key features: reactive species as intracellular messengers; redox regulation of cellular responses; and clinical implications of redox signaling and antioxidant therapy.
