Modulation of Oxidative Stress: Biochemical, Physiological and Pharmacological Aspects explores the field using an interdisciplinary approach, including chemical, biological, physiological, pharmaceutical, pharmacological and physicochemical perspectives. The book is comprised of three main parts, with the first discussing the biochemical aspects of oxidative stress modulation. Other sections cover physiological and pathophysiological aspects on relevant conditions, including aging, neurological diseases, cerebral cavernous malformation, maternal and early-life malnutrition, Alzheimer’s disease, liver transplant, and cancer. Final content is dedicated to pharmacological aspects and includes chapters on phytotherapy and flavonoids.
This book is a strong reference for pharma researchers in academia and industry considering leveraging modulation of oxidative stress as a strategy for the development of new drugs. Biochemists and Nutritionists may also benefit of the foundational understanding of cellular redox processes laid out.
- Provides the latest updates in the fast-developing field of REDOX biochemistry and pharmacology
- Presents content that is clear and easy to read
- Useful for researchers and instructors in many fields

Alessandro Giuffre
Prof. Alessandro Giuffrè is a Senior Researcher of the National Research Council of Italy (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche - CNR). Since 2020 he is Director of the CNR Institute of Molecular Biology and Pathology (IBPM) in Rome. Since he was awarded his PhD in Biochemistry in 1997, he has investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the metabolism of O2, nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and related reactive species, with the ultimate goal of elucidating the role of these molecules in human physiology and pathophysiology. His research has focused on a variety of microbial and human enzymes and their ability to metabolize O2, NO and related species, as well as on the effects of NO on cellular bioenergetics. More recently his interests have extended also to H2S, another important small gaseous molecule with a key role in cell signaling. Currently, he has signed 95 articles in peer-reviewed International journals, with more than 3.500 citations.

Giuseppe Valacchi
Dr. Valacchi has been interested in evaluating the effect of exogenous and endogenous sources of oxidative stress on target organs, such as skin, GI tract and lung, and the signal pathways involved in the cellular responses to these insults with special focus on epithelial wound healing. In addition, he aims to study how new topical approaches (derived from natural and synthetic compounds) can ameliorate wound healing and tissue regeneration in both physiological and pathological situations. In the last 10 years he has also been pursuing research involved in understanding the role of oxidative stress in a rare disease, Rett Syndrome, defined as a neurodevelopment pathology, and in the aging processes and how dietary intervention can improve the clinical feature.
