Identification of Peroxiredoxin (PRX) Genes from Pepper Fruits: Involvement in Ripening and Modulation by Nitric Oxide (NO)

Antioxidants
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs; EC 1.11.1.15) are a group of thiol peroxidases that catalyze the detoxification of H2O2 and other organic hydroperoxides. The ripening of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) fruit involves significant phenotypic, physiological, and ...

Antioxidants and diabetes

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 ...

The impact of antioxidants on vitiligo and melasma : a scoping review and meta-analysis

, 2023
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during melanogenesis make melanocytes particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress, influencing their survival and melanin synthesis. Oxidative stress, significantly present in vitiligo and recently also detected in

“Alperujo” Compost Improves the Ascorbate (Vitamin C) Content in Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Fruits and Influences Their Oxidative Metabolism

Agronomy, 2018
“Alperujo” compost was evaluated as an organic fertiliser for pepper growth under greenhouse conditions. Even though the total nitrogen applied was similar, plants only grown with composts experienced a development decline as compared to ...

Characterization of the galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase from pepper fruits and its modulation in the ascorbate biosynthesis. Role of nitric oxide

Redox Biology, 2017
Pepper fruit is one of the highest vitamin C sources of plant origin for our diet. In plants, ascorbic acid is mainly synthesized through the L-galactose pathway, being the L-galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase (GalLDH) the last step. Using pepper fruits,
