This volume examines the impact of free radical biology on hepatic disorders such as viral hepatitis, alcoholic disease, iron overload, and Wilson’s disease. It thoroughly explores the role of oxidative stress in acute and chronic disease, addressing factors such as redox biomarkers; antioxidant def...
