Antioxidant and Antigenotoxic Activities of the Brazilian Pine Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O. Kuntze

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2014
Polyphenols are natural products with recognized potential in drug discovery and development. We aimed to evaluate the polyphenolic profile of Araucaria angustifolia bracts, and their ability to scavenge reactive species.

Neuroprotective Effect of Antioxidants in the Brain

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
The brain is vulnerable to excessive oxidative insults because of its abundant lipid content, high energy requirements, and weak antioxidant capacity. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase susceptibility to neuronal damage and functional deficits, via ...

Plant polyphenols as dietary antioxidants in human health and disease

open access: yesOxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2009
Polyphenols are secondary metabolites of plants and are generally involved in defense against ultraviolet radiation or aggression by pathogens. In the last decade, there has been much interest in the potential health benefits of dietary plant polyphenols

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) Fruits: Characterization of the Main Enzymatic Antioxidants (Peroxisomal Catalase and SOD Isozymes) and the NADPH-Regenerating System

open access: yesAgronomy, 2019
Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a common edible fruit. Its juice can be used as a source of antioxidative compounds, primarily polyphenols and vitamin C, in addition to other vitamins and minerals.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and response of antioxidants as ROS-scavengers during environmental stress in plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2014
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were initially recognized as toxic by-products of aerobic metabolism. In recent years, it has become apparent that ROS plays an important signaling role in plants, controlling processes such as growth, development and ...

Polyphenols in Almond Skins after Blanching Modulate Plasma Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress in Healthy Humans

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2019
Almond skins are a waste byproduct of blanched almond production. Polyphenols extracted from almond skins possess antioxidant activities in vitro and in vivo. Thus, we examined the pharmacokinetic profile of almond skin polyphenols (ASP) and their effect

Antioxidant Peptidomics Reveals Novel Skin Antioxidant System

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Proteomics, 2009
It is generally agreed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to skin aging, skin disorders, and skin diseases. Skin possesses an extremely efficient antioxidant system. This antioxidant activity is conferred by two systems: antioxidant enzymes and small molecules that can scavenge ROS by donating electrons.

Several lines of antioxidant defense against oxidative stress: antioxidant enzymes, nanomaterials with multiple enzyme-mimicking activities, and low-molecular-weight antioxidants

open access: yesArchives of Toxicology
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are well recognized for playing a dual role, since they can be either deleterious or beneficial to biological systems.
