Understanding the Role of Hydrogen Peroxide in Oxidative Stress and Biology

Hydrogen peroxide plays a pivotal role in the biology of oxidative stress and oxidative signaling. This book aims to provide a comprehensive forum to assist in understanding the relevance of hydrogen peroxide generation and its management in human biology. It targets both those with an interest in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and those with expertise in the chemistry of oxidative stress but lacking in biological context.

Aims and Objectives

The primary objective of this book is to bridge the gap between chemistry and biology, providing insights into the generation and handling of hydrogen peroxide in human biology. It seeks to educate readers on the biological relevance of hydrogen peroxide and its implications for oxidative stress and signaling pathways.

Target Audience

This book is designed for researchers, scientists, and students interested in understanding the role of hydrogen peroxide in oxidative stress and biology. It is particularly beneficial for those with a background in chemistry seeking to understand the biological context of oxidative stress and those in the biological sciences looking to gain a deeper understanding of the chemical aspects of oxidative stress.

Key Features

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of hydrogen peroxide in oxidative stress and biology. It covers topics such as the generation and detection of hydrogen peroxide, its role in cellular signaling pathways, and its implications for human health and disease. The book also explores the potential therapeutic applications of manipulating hydrogen peroxide levels in various diseases.
