The 2020 virtual GWI – State of the Science Conference showcased the latest advancements in the study of Gulf War Illness (GWI); a disease that affects 25%-35% of U.S. Veterans of the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991). Research at the conference was highly multi-disciplinary and covered a broad range of topics including epidemiology, biomarkers, pathobiology, and treatments. Presentations highlighted the diverse and complex nature of the disease – describing deficits across multiple physiological systems (e.g. immune, autonomic, and central) and characterizing a broad range of symptoms such as fatigue, pain, respiratory distress, and cognitive difficulties.

Life Sciences is pleased to devote a special issue to focus on the broad spectrum of research being conducted to better define, understand, and treat GWI. It is in this spirit that we invite the field of GWI researchers to submit their novel approaches to understanding and improving the lives of Veterans with GWI.

This Special Issue favors submission of original research articles and articles considered for inclusion in this special issue will be sent out for rigorous peer review. The editorial policy of the journal is located on the webpage and will be strictly adhered to by all reviewers. Pre-submission inquiries are encouraged. Please direct these inquiries to Dr. Dane Cook at [email protected].

Accepted articles are published in-press and pre-proof stage immediately after acceptance. There are no online publication charges or costs for color figures to be included in this Special Issue. Open access options are available, but authors are responsible for associated fees, if they apply.

Environment plays a major role in the redox status of the human body, with diet the most important contributor overall. These dietary effects can include both pro- and anti-oxidation. Proxidation and oxidative stress can result from an unhealthy diet, a problem for much of the world’s population. Here, low intake of fruits and vegetables combined with high fat and sugar leads to many health problems and in some cases, have been associated with low serum antioxidant levels and/or increased reactive oxygen species (ROS). Conversely, healthier diets can boost the body’s antioxidant state, either directly or indirectly.

While initial expectations in the redox field were seemingly simple and straightforward (i.e., antioxidants good, ROS/RNS bad), the field has evolved to reveal a much more complicated and nuanced molecular landscape. This holds for diet as well. It was not so long ago that antioxidant supplementation was expected to successfully help the treatment of virtually any disease or condition, and some even expected that antioxidants would semi-revolutionize medical treatment. This optimism has given way to the reality if not disillusionment that antioxidant supplementation rarely shows clear health benefit (in individuals who are not deficient of key dietary nutrients) in a wide range of human population-based studies. In fact, some meta-analyses have concluded increased all-case mortality with increased antioxidant supplement intake!

In this Special Issue of FRBM, we critically evaluate the contribution of diet – both healthy and unhealthy - to redox state in the human body, and how this relates to health status. Contributing papers will include both whole food and dietary supplements with key assessments including, among others, serum and tissue levels of oxidation markers, antioxidant levels, ROS/RNS, intracellular Nrf2 activation and antioxidant gene expression. We hope that this wide-ranging state-of-the-art collection represents a unique overview that will not only provide new insights into diet and redox state, but also serve as a foundation for the design of future studies that contribute to better diet-related health.
