Academic Press - Cancer: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants

Explore the complex relationship between oxidative stress and cancer in this comprehensive second edition from Academic Press. This text provides a deep look into the science of oxidative stress and investigates how natural antioxidants found in the diet or food matrix may be used for therapeutic purposes. Rather than viewing oxidative stress in isolation, this work examines it alongside other biological processes like apoptosis, cell signaling, and receptor-mediated responses. This multi-faceted approach reflects the reality that diseases are often caused by many factors working together. Readers will find detailed information on specific topics, including new organ site tumors such as skin and liver cancer. The book also addresses the roles of polymorphisms, cytochrome p450s, and CO. This resource is designed for those looking to understand the biological mechanisms of oxidative stress and the potential impact of dietary interventions in cancer research and science.
