| Summary |
"This volume collates articles investigating antioxidant, oxidant and free radical research. It examines the role of such research in health and disease, particularly with respect to developing greater understanding about the many interactions between oxidants and antioxidants, and how such substances may act as natural protectants and /or natural toxicants."--Publisher description (LoC) |
