Free radical-mediated reactions have been well known in chemistry
and physical chemistry for many years. Applying this knowledge to
living organisms, biochemists have shown that reactive free
radicals are formed at many intracellular sites during normal
metabolism, and they have started to suggest possible roles in
various pathological processes and conditions, for example in
radiation damage, in the metabolism of xenobiotics, in
carcinogenesis and in metabolic disorders. At present, a large and
relevant mass of experimental evidence supports the view that
reactive free radicals are involved in the pathogenesis of several
diseases and syndromes. This literature has captured the attention
and interest of people involved in the biomedical field. Exciting
developments in radical research are probable in the near future,
establishing a greater interaction between basic science research
and medicine. While the task of defining the involvement of free
radicals in human pathology is difficult, it is nonetheless
extremely important that such interaction be fulfilled as soon as
possible. These were the considerations motivating us during the
organization of the VI Biennial Meeting of the International
Society for Free Radical Research held in Torino, Italy, in June
1992, and also during the preparation of this book. Experts in the
various aspects of free radical research were invited to
participate in the Torino Meeting and to contribute chapters for
this volume.
