Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules that play a crucial role in human health, influencing a wide range of physiological processes. While ROS are essential for normal cellular functions, such as signaling, immune responses, and metabolism, their accumulation or imbalance can lead to oxidative stress, which is implicated in numerous diseases. Overproduction of ROS is associated with conditions like cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and diabetes. Conversely, a controlled production of ROS is vital for maintaining health and regulating cell signaling pathways. Understanding the delicate balance between ROS generation and detoxification is key to developing strategies for preventing and managing oxidative stress-related diseases, highlighting the complex role of ROS in both promoting health and contributing to disease. The Role of Reactive Oxygen Species in Human Health and Disease explores the role of ROS in human health and disease, shedding light on the often overlooked yet significant impact of ROS on health dynamics. It examines the pivotal role of reactive oxygen species in various physiological processes. This book covers topics such as medical diseases, oxidative stress, and precision medicine, and is a useful resource for medical professionals, healthcare workers, engineers, scientists, academicians, and researchers.
