Oxidative Stress and Inflammation as Targets for Novel Preventive and Therapeutic Approaches in Non-Communicable Diseases III

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders, pose a significant global health challenge [1,2]. Central to their pathogenesis are two interlinked mechanisms: oxidative stress and inflammation [3,4]. Oxidative stress arises from the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), overwhelming the body’s antioxidant defenses, while inflammation is a key protective response triggered by tissue damage or infection. Extensive research indicates that these processes are not only pivotal in the onset of NCDs but also drive their progression [5,6]. This Special Issue compiles 17 articles that explore various dimensions of oxidative stress and inflammation, offering new insights into preventive and therapeutic strategies.
