内容説明

There is now increasing evidence that free radicals play an important role in biological systems and that they are closely connected to a variety of pathological events, including cancer and aging. It is also known that biological systems are protected against free radical attack by an array of defence systems, e.g. vitamins C and E and superoxide dismutase. However, details of the generation, function and scavenging of free radicals or repair are not well understood and are often controversial. These two volumes contain almost 320 papers from the international community of experts in this field. Taken as a whole, the work provides the present state of the art of the role of free radicals from medical, biochemical and chemical viewpoints. The volumes will thus be of interest to chemists, biochemists, pharmacologists, medical scientists and clinicians, and to those working in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
