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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
