Abstract

Vascular oxidative stress is a key contributor to the development of various cardiovascular diseases. Nanoparticles have unique properties that make them attractive for preventing and treating vascular oxidative stress. Metal, metal oxide, polymer, lipid, ceramic, and carbon-based nanoparticles can be designed to scavenge reactive oxygen species and deliver antioxidant compounds to target tissues. These nanoparticles have potential applications in drug delivery, imaging, and theragnostic. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential of nanoparticles in this application and ensure their safety and efficacy before they can be used in clinical applications. The use of nanoparticles in medicine is a promising field that may lead to the development of novel treatments for various diseases, including those associated with vascular oxidative stress.
