This volume presents a unique comparative treatment of the role oxidative stress plays in vertebrates and invertebrates in multiple organ systems with regards to cell death, development, aging, and human diseases, and anti-oxidant therapy. It offers comprehensive reviews of the current understanding of oxidative stress-mediated physiology and pathology as well as directions for future research. It also provides current information on the role of oxidative stress in neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and various types of cancer mediated by oxidative stress.

TAHIRA FAROOQUI has published extensively on drug receptorinteractions, biogenic amines in vertebrate and invertebratenervous systems, glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid metabolism,and molecular mechanisms in the brain, as well as on theneuromodulatory role of octopamine in the reinforcement pathwayinvolved in olfactory learning and memory.
AKHLAQ A. FAROOQUI is a leader in the fields of signaltransduction, brain phospholipase A2, bioactive etherlipid metabolism, and polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism, amongothers. Farooqui has published on the generation and identificationof glycerophospholipid-, sphingolipid-, and cholesterol-derivedlipid mediators in kainic acid-mediated neurotoxicity bylipidomics.
