Infos

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increasingly appreciated as
down-stream effectors of cellular damage and dysfunction under
natural and anthropogenic stress scenarios in aquatic systems. This
comprehensive volume describes oxidative stress phenomena in
different climatic zones and groups of organisms, taking into
account specific habitat conditions and how they affect
susceptibility to ROS damage.

A comprehensive and detailed methods section is included which
supplies complete protocols for analyzing ROS production, oxidative
damage, and antioxidant systems. Methods are also evaluated with
respect to applicability and constraints for different types of
research.

The authors are all internationally recognized experts in
particular fields of oxidative stress research.

This comprehensive reference volume is essential for students,
researchers, and technicians in the field of ROS research, and also
contains information useful for veterinarians, environmental health
professionals, and decision makers.

Autor

Doris Abele is a marine animal physiologist, biochemist and marine ecologist. She has specialized in oxygen radical research since 1990. She leads a research group for "Stress Physiology and Aging in Marine Invertebrates" at the Alfred-Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven, Germany. Tania Zenteno-Savin is a marine biologist at the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noroeste (CIBNOR) in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Her research focuses on comparative aspects of oxidative stress components in marine organisms. José Pablo Vázquez-Medina is a marine biologist based at the University of California Merced. He studies the effects of fasting, diving and sleep apnea on oxidative stress and antioxidant metabolism in marine mammals.
