Oxidative Stress: Its Mechanisms and Impacts on Human Health and Disease Onset examines all factors known to elevate oxidative stress (OS) and the mechanisms of disease causation. This book is organized into four parts. Part I, "Oxidative Stress and Disease," provides an introduction and discusses the causes of oxidative stress and the roles of chemical exposures, environmental factors, and preexisting conditions that precipitate disease onset. Part II, "Mechanisms of Oxidative Stress-Driven Disease," delves into cellular molecular level, free radical-driven pathways of disease causation. Part III, "Disease Onset Prediction," describes the noninvasive Oxidative Stress Index (OSI), its measurement, and how it can be applied to predict the likelihood of disease onset. Part IV, "Prevention," covers oxidative stress control, maintaining essential levels of antioxidants and homeostasis. With comprehensive coverage of not only the impact of OS due to chemical exposure but also the consequences of environmental factors and preexisting conditions, Oxidative Stress: Its Mechanisms and Impacts on Human Health and Disease Onset is a valuable resource for researchers, public Health professionals, and others wishing to broaden their knowledge of this topic. Key Features, Covers the chemical exposures, environmental factors, and preexisting conditions that cause oxidative stress and disease, Provides understanding of the mechanisms of oxidative stress damage response and disease, Shows how the oxidative stress and its role can be determined noninvasively via the Oxidative Stress Index, Addresses oxidative stress control and disease prevention Book jacket.
