Summary

Antioxidants play an important role in the progression of major human degenerative diseases and conditions. This book covers antioxidants and their mechanisms of action; their role in a whole array of conditions including coronary heart disease, malignant disease, diabetes, cataracts, respiratory disease, cystic fibrosis, cognitive functions, and aging; their indicators for oxidative stress; and related consumer issues. In 32 chapters contributed by world authorities in antioxidants, the volume provides a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the field.
