Oxidative Injury in Dermatopathology

This book will serve as a valuable source of information for cutaneous biologists, dermatologists, and biomedical scientists interested in free radicals and reactive oxygen species and their role in skin pathology. It covers all aspects of oxidative stress, including its importance in basic pathologic processes, as well as in skin diseases, dermatopharmacology and dermatotoxicology. A large data base of references is also provided.
