Free Radical Biology of Endocrine, Metabolic & Immune Disorders
Free Radical Biology of Endocrine, Metabolic & Immune Disorders is an advanced, research-based reference that explores the critical role of oxidative stress and free radicals in the pathophysiology of hormonal, metabolic, and immune-related diseases. This comprehensive volume integrates the latest findings from molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical research to help readers understand how reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants influence the development, progression, and management of chronic disorders.
Authored by leading experts in biomedical sciences, this book offers a deep insight into the molecular mechanisms that connect oxidative stress with endocrine and metabolic dysfunctions — such as diabetes, obesity, thyroid disorders, and reproductive abnormalities — as well as immune-mediated conditions like autoimmunity and inflammation. It emphasizes recent advancements in therapeutic strategies, including antioxidant therapies, nutraceuticals, and redox-based interventions.
