Description
Antioxidant Food Supplements in Human Health discusses new discoveries in the areas of oxygen and nitric oxide metabolism and pathophysiology,
redox regulation and cell signaling, and the identification of natural antioxidants and their mechanisms of action on free radicals and
their role in health and disease.
An essential resource for researchers, students, and professionals in food science and nutrition,
gerontology, physiology, pharmacology, and related areas.
Audience
Clinical researchers, nutritionists, gerontologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists.
