Microglia antioxidant systems and redox signalling [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2016 For many years, microglia, the resident CNS macrophages, have been considered only in the context of pathology, but microglia are also glial cells with important physiological functions. Microglia‐derived oxidant production by NADPH oxidase (NOX2) is implicated in many CNS disorders.

Antioxidant Supplementation in the Treatment of Aging-Associated Diseases [PDF]
, 2016 Oxidative stress is generally considered as the consequence of an imbalance between pro- and antioxidants species, which often results into indiscriminate and global damage at the organismal level.

Comparative Study of Lycopene Encapsulation Efficiency in Polycapprolactone Vs Poly Lactic Co-glycolic Acid [PDF]
ASABE 2019 Annual International Meeting, 2023 Lycopene contributes to the red-colored pigmentation of fruits and vegetables, and it is a fat-soluble carotenoid with antioxidant properties. Epidemiological studies have shown the significant health benefits associated to the consumption of lycopene rich foods, because of the anti-cancer properties. Degradative losses of lycopene during processing is

Developmental stage is an important factor that determines the antioxidant responses of young and old grapevine leaves under UV irradiation in a green-house. [PDF]
, 2012 The impact of UV irradiation was studied on photosynthesis, photosystem II photochemical yields and antioxidant responses using green-house grown grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Chardonnay) leaves.

High expression of antioxidant proteins in dendritic cells: possible implications in atherosclerosis [PDF]
Mol Cell Proteomics 5 (04/2006) 726-36, 2006 Dendritic cells (DCs) display the unique ability to activate naive T cells and to initiate primary T cell responses revealed in DC-T cell alloreactions. DCs frequently operate under stress conditions. Oxidative stress enhances the production of inflammatory cytokines by DCs.

Implications for oxidative stress and astrocytes following 26S proteasomal depletion in mouse forebrain neurones [PDF]
, 2013 Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by progressive degeneration of selective neurones in the nervous system, but the underlying mechanisms involved in neuroprotection and neurodegeneration remain unclear.

Antioxidant Systems and Oxidative Stress in the Testes [PDF]
Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2008 Spermatogenesis is an extremely active replicative process capable of generating approxi mately 1,000 sperm a second. The high rates of cell division inherent in this process imply correspondingly high rates of mitochondrial oxygen consumption by the germinal epithelium. However, the poor vascularization of the testes means that oxygen tensions in this

Assay of the antioxidant capacity of foods using an iron(II)-catalysed lipid peroxidation model for greater nutritional relevance [PDF]
, 2010 The formation of free radicals by the iron-catalysed Fenton reaction is a major cause of oxidative damage in the body. Here a common assay of antioxidant capacity, inhibition of the β-carotene-linoleic acid model of lipid peroxidation, has been modified ...

Antioxidant capacity is repeatable across years but does not consistently correlate with a marker of peroxidation in a free-living passerine bird [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Physiology B, Springer Verlag, 2019, 189
(2), pp.283-298, 2019 Oxidative stress occurs when reactive oxygen species (ROS) exceed antioxidant defences, which can have deleterious effects on cell function, health and survival. Therefore, organisms are expected to finely regulate pro-oxidant and antioxidant processes.

Molecular characterization of wild Pleurotus ostreatus (MW457626) and evaluation of $β$-glucans polysaccharide activities [PDF]
Vol 8, Issue 1, 2022, pp 52-62, 2023 Pleurotus ostreatus is a common cultivated edible mushroom worldwide. The fruiting bodies of P. ostreatus is a rich source of a $\beta$-glucans polysaccharide. The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of $\beta$-glucans as a natural polysaccharide produced by P. ostreatus as an antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer.
