The Spanish Group of Free Radical Research was founded in 1991 and its members are Spanish scientists actively involved in free radical research. A free radical is a chemical species with an unpaired electron which provides great reactivity, thus shortening its half life. Oxygen- and nitrogen-derived free radicals are involved in signal transduction pathways as well as in numerous and important physiological and pathological conditions in plants and animals, such as aging and development, physical exercise, cardiovascular diseases, liver diseases, etc. Consequently, the members' activities are related to almost all areas of biological and biomedical research, with the general aim of health promotion and disease prevention.
