Informationen zum Autor Silvana Andreescu is Associate professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Science at Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY. Her research expertise is in analytical and bioanalytical chemistry focusing on the development, characterization and application of chemical and biological sensors for clinical, food and environmental monitoring. She published more than 55 peer-reviewed journal articles and 11 book chapters, and delivered some 100 presentations at professional and academicconferences. Maria Hepel received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry from Jagellonian University in Krakow, Poland. From 1985 she worked as the Faculty at the State University of New York at Potsdam where she is now a Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry. She published over 140 papers, 25 chapters in books, and has made over 400 presentations at the national and international symposia. Klappentext This book presents recent advancements in the understanding of oxidative stress, the mechanisms of damage to cells and biomolecules, and pathological implications in disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Disease, cardiovascular disease, cell damage in HIV-AIDS, stroke, autism and premature aging. Zusammenfassung Oxidative stress is the state of a diminished capacity of a biological system to counteract an overproduction or invasion of reactive oxygen species and other radicals. This book presents recent advancements in the understanding of oxidative stress, the mechanisms of damage to cells and biomolecules, and pathological implications in disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Disease, cardiovascular disease, cell damage in HIV-AIDS, stroke, autism andpremature aging. The book is a comprehensive source of information describing new directions in diagnostics of oxidative stress, including novel detection methods of oxidative-stress biomarkers, prevention by antioxidants, and therapy using novel free radical scavenging agents and natural defensesystems....
