There is a widespread consensus that use of antioxidants as a
therapeutic approach may counteract free radical mediated pathologies.
However, the role of antioxidants in normal physiology and redox
signaling is still in its infancy. Since oxidative stress is related
to various diseases and pathologies, scientists are eager to study the
disease in humans, but it is not always ethical to study all the
aspects of the disease in humans. Thus, it becomes mandatory to study
the disease process and the mechanisms behind it through experimental
models which generally involve animals, in vitro/cell culture studies,
primates and even humans to a certain extent. Studies on Experimental
Models contains data on the experimental models or review of such
models of oxidative stress in various diseases. It is structured into
six sections, which are as follows: diabetes, cardiovascular,
neurology, ocular diseases, toxicology/environmental and in
vitro/tissue culture. Each section presents a sketch of models in
humans, animals and in vitro methods. Taken together, they comprise a
valuable reference for basic and clinical scientists, one aimed at
contributing to the advancement of oxidative stress research using
appropriate animal models.
