From the reviews: "This is a collection of articles that provides insight into the evolving field of oxidative stress. ... It is intended for students, physicians in training, clinicians, and cardiovascular researchers interested in oxidative stress. ... This collection of articles with color diagrams provides a unique, well-organized, and clinically relevant resource on a vast range of topics relating to oxidative stress. This book will be a solid resource in this rapidly changing field." (Paul Michael, Doody's Review Service, February, 2011)
