Free Radicals in Biology and Medicine has become a classic text in the field of free radical and antioxidant research since its first publication in 1985.

This latest edition has been comprehensively rewritten and updated (over 80% of the text is new), while maintaining the clarity of its predecessor. There is expanded coverage of isoprostanes and related compounds, mechanisms of oxidative damage to DNA and proteins (and the repair of such damage), the free radical theory of aging and the roles played by reactive species in signal transduction, cell death, human reproduction, and other important biological events. Greater emphasis has also been placed on the methods available to measure reactive species and oxidative damage (and their potential pitfalls), as well as the importance of antioxidants in the human diet.

This book is recommended as a comprehensive introduction to the field for students, clinicians and researchers, and an invaluable companion to all those interested in the role of free radicals in the life and biomedical sciences.

An excellent book for scientists May 28, 2000 By Math PC
Free radical biology has become a big research area. This text is definitely a helpful tool for students and professionals alike. Halliwell and Gutteridge are both the "authorities" in free radical research. The book contains the basic concepts of metabolism, metal interactions, free radical formation, and antioxidation. The book then relates these processes (that is, oxidative and nitorsative stresses) to pathological events using various disease paradigms. The text contains good illustrations. It is an excellent reference material for everyone who is entering the field of free radical biology and medicine.

Notes from an Oxymoron Sep 24, 2001 By Happy researcher
Excellent book that provides a thorough grounding to the field. Keep the updated editions coming every few years and it will continue to stay at the top.

Must have for free radical researchers Jun 18, 2008 By G. Chuang
The 2007 edition of the "free radical bible". I strongly recommend this book to anyone currently in or seeking to enter the field of free radical biology. Are you a grad student writing quals or T32/F32? A post-doc going for PI/K99? A seasoned PI trying for the second R01 related to free radicals? One of the fastest ways for a proposal to get tossed is to propose questionable methods. Simply reviewing Pubmed is insufficient, since many papers also use questionable methods to assay for species such as superoxide or lipid peroxides. With this book one can easily reference the oxidative stress markers of interest and quickly determine a reliable method that is commonly accepted, as well as pinpoint the paper referenced to include in your own reference section.

For professionals only Dec 16, 2009 By DrEl
It's comprehensive book about free radicals for professionals in medicine and biochemistry. It contains excellent information about almost everything, where free radicals may be found and how they act.
It arrived in time and in good condition.
