Oxidative Damage & Repair

This book was inspired by the presentations delivered at the Oxidative Damage & Repair Symposium (November, 1990). The book is organized into 20 chapters which mirror the 20 session topics of the Oxidative Damage & Repair Symposium.

For medical researchers in the areas of cancer preventation, ageing and cardiac care.
