About this Research Topic
In the field of veterinary medicine, the concept of "OxInflammation" has emerged as a critical area of study. This term encapsulates the cyclical relationship between oxidative stress and inflammation, two phenomena that often coexist in chronic diseases such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic kidney disease. Oxidative stress, characterized by an overproduction of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and diminished antioxidant defenses, can both cause and result from inflammation. This interplay is believed to contribute to the onset, progression, and exacerbation of various chronic diseases. Moreover, this disturbance can impact the quality of animal-derived food products. Despite the growing interest in oxinflammation markers, their clinical application in veterinary medicine remains limited due to numerous challenges, highlighting the need for more comprehensive research in this area.
The primary aim of this research topic is to present novel findings related to the identification and validation of oxinflammation markers in different animal species. This could potentially pave the way for their clinical application, thereby enhancing our understanding of chronic diseases and improving animal health. The research will address the current gaps in knowledge, such as the link between oxinflammation markers and disease development, the interpretation of results given the variety of available markers, and the establishment of reference ranges for these markers in different species.
To further our understanding of oxinflammation, we welcome articles that address the following themes within the defined boundaries of this research topic:
• Investigation and validation of new oxidative biomarkers in multiple species
• Examination of the role of oxidation and inflammation in the pathogenesis of specific diseases
• Clinical trials assessing the impact of antioxidant supplementation on disease outcomes and clinical signs
• Studies on the role of oxidation in diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring the efficacy of therapy.
