N2 - Nanotechnology is recognized as an emerging and growing field. Research in this area has promoted meaningful efforts for improving human health and preventing several degenerative diseases. Since oxidative stress condition has been recognized as one of the triggering factors for these diseases, it is imperative to overcome some disadvantages of antioxidants to be able to use them as a treatment. Some of the still defiant issues to be solved involve bioavailability, as well as their in vitro/in vivo mechanisms of action, along with their clinical relevance. Therefore, this chapter addresses the contributions of some nanotechnologies to strength strategies aimed to favorably modulate oxidative stress and thus to investigate associated opportunities for the improvement of the function of antioxidant peptides.
