Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are well-known mediators of the molecular biology of cells. ROS are key to maintaining several functions such as hearing or host defense and are second messengers of many signaling pathways in physiological conditions. In the organism, there are several ROS-producing systems. These systems are counterbalanced with ROS-scavenging systems. In some situations, either due to an overproduction of ROS or a defect in the ROS clearance, this balance is broken. In this scenario, ROS start to accumulate, leading to oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress has been associated with many pathophysiological processes, including cardiovascular diseases. Different overactivated ROS sources such as the mitochondrion, NADPH oxidase, xanthine oxidase, or cyclooxygenase-2 are involved in the development and maintenance of diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure, stroke, or diabetes.
This Special Issue of Antioxidants entitled "Oxidative Stress in Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs)" aims to provide a close look at the current research on the role of oxidative stress in cardiovascular pathologies. Original research articles and reviews addressing the gaps in the knowledge of the mechanisms triggered by the accumulation of ROS and the subsequent effect on the organism, including end-organ damage, in cardiovascular pathologies are welcome.
We look forward to your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
