Dalam sebuah wawancara tahun 1987, José Saramago dengan fasih mengungkapkan apa yang dapat dianggap sebagai manifesto politik-filosofisnya: "Manusia tidak boleh puas dengan peran sebagai pengamat belaka. Mereka memiliki tanggung jawab terhadap dunia; mereka harus secara aktif terlibat dan campur tangan." Pada tahun 1998, penulis terkenal itu dianugerahi Hadiah Nobel Sastra. Jadi Saramago tidak…
Buku pegangan ini ditulis untuk pasien dan masyarakat umum yang ingin memahami lebih banyak tentang pendekatan, metode, dan bahasa yang digunakan oleh peneliti layanan kesehatan.

Several epidemiological studies have demonstrated that oxidative stress is associated with a number of health disorders, including cardiovascular malfunction, certain types of cancer, diabetes mellitus, many other auto-immune diseases, and even ageing. The body possesses multiple mechanisms to counteract oxidative stress, which employ antioxidant compounds that are either naturally generated in…

Free radicals are atoms or molecules containing unpaired electrons. Damage occurs when the free radical encounters another molecule and seeks to find another electron to pair its unpaired electron. Free radicals can cause mutation in different biological compounds such as protein, nucleic acids, and lipids, and the damage caused by the free radicals lead to various diseases (cancer, cardiovascu…
The exposure of animals to environmental stresses (restraint, bad housing conditions, irradiation, pollution, diseases, and heat stress) and endogenous stresses (metabolic and physiological disorders) can seriously disrupt the redox homeostasis, leading to impairments in animals’ health and overall performance. Under these circumstances, the self-antioxidant defense system may not be enough t…
This includes 17 original research articles and focuses on the knowledge on the effects of dietary antioxidants on host health and performance of production animals, including livestock, poultry and fish. It provides various nutritional approaches to improve antioxidant capacity and benefit host health in animal production. Production animals exposed to air pollution, heavy metals, or other str…
Aging is a complex, only partially understood process, and is a key risk factor in the development of noncommunicable ailments that greatly impact human quality of life. One of the causes of most age-related diseases is an imbalance in the oxidation-reduction reactions, with the accumulation of reactive species, which are major contributors to cellular senescence. The book contributes to the kn…
