Abstract

Prof. Dr. Helmut Sies is a pioneer of “Oxidative Stress”, and has published over 18 papers with the name of “Oxidative Stress” in the title. He has been Editor-in-Chief of the journal “Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics” for many years, and is a former Editor-in-Chief of the journal “Free Radical Research”. He has clarified our understanding of the causes of chronic developing diseases, and has studied antioxidant factors. In this article, importance of “Oxidative Stress” and our mitochondrial oxidative stress studies; roles of mitochondrial ROS, effects of vitamin E and its homologues in oxidative stress-related diseases, effects of antioxidants in vivo and in vitro, and a mitochondrial superoxide theory for oxidative stress diseases and aging are introduced, and some of our interactions with Helmut are described, congratulating and appreciating his great path.
