To Be or Not to Be… An Antioxidant? That Is the Question [PDF]
Antioxidants, 2020 The concept of antioxidants refers to a substance with the capacity to either directly scavenge or indirectly prevent the formation of pro-oxidant molecules, basically associated to the so called reactive oxygen species (ROS) [...]

Idebenone: When an antioxidant is not an antioxidant
Redox Biology, 2021 Idebenone is a well described drug that was initially developed against dementia. The current literature widely portrays this molecule as a potent antioxidant and CoQ10 analogue. While numerous papers seem to support this view, a closer look indicates that the pharmacokinetics of idebenone do not support these claims.

, 2022 The term ‘scavengome’ refers to the chemical space of all the metabolites that may be formed from an antioxidant upon scavenging reactive oxygen or nitrogen species (ROS/RNS). This chemical space is very rich in structures representing an increased chemical complexity as compared to the parent antioxidant: a wide range of unusual heterocyclic ...

Antioxidants in dermatology [PDF]
Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2017 The skin cells continuously produce, through cellular respiration, metabolic processes or under external aggressions, highly reactive molecules oxidation products, generally called free radicals. These molecules are immediately neutralized by enzymatic and non-enzymatic systems in a physiological and dynamic balance. In situations where this balance is

Neuroprotection and antioxidants
Neural Regeneration Research, 2016 Ischemia as a serious neurodegenerative disorder causes together with reperfusion injury many changes in nervous tissue. Most of the neuronal damage is caused by complex of biochemical reactions and substantial processes, such as protein agregation, reactions of free radicals, insufficient blood supply, glutamate excitotoxicity, and oxidative stress ...

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2012 Hyperglycemia promotes auto-oxidation of glucose to form free radicals. The generation of free radicals beyond the scavenging abilities of endogenous antioxidant defenses results in macro- and microvascular dysfunction. Antioxidants such as N-acetylcysteine, vitamin C and α-lipoic acid are effective in reducing diabetic complications, indicating that ...

Indian Dermatology Online Journal, 2014 Antioxidants neutralize free radicals produced by various environmental insults such as ultraviolet radiation, cigarette smoke and air pollutants, thereby preventing cellular damage. The role of oxidative stress and antioxidants is known in diseases like obesity, atherosclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease.

Antioxidants and Carcinogenesis
Annals of Medicine, 1994 It is established beyond doubt that free radicals in tissues and cells can damage DNA, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. These potentially deleterious reactions are at least partly controlled by antioxidants capable of scavenging free radicals. It is widely believed that a proper balance between free radicals and antioxidants is essential for the ...
