内容説明

This volume provides a comprehensive treatment of the latest research on oxidative stress and antioxidant defenses in all types of aerobic organisms. This book investigates oxidative stress in prokaryotes, protists, plants, fungi, vertebrates, and invertebrates, stimulating cross-fertilization among diverse fields. In addition, it explains the basic science of oxygen activation and oxidative stress as a foundation for more advanced material, making this book useful as a resource for both specialists and non-specialists. This book should be of interest to professionals and graduate students in biochemistry, chemical ecology, natural products, pharmacology and toxicology.
