Biological aging is characterized by a progressive accumulation of oxidative damage and decreased endogenous antioxidant defense mechanisms. The production of oxidants by normal metabolism damages proteins, lipids, and nucleotides, which may contribute to cognitive impairment.

Evaluation of the Bioactive and Technological Potential of Caferana (Bunchosia glandulifera)
Caferana (Bunchosia glandulifera), one of seven species of the genus Bunchosia identified in the Atlantic Forest, is a plant with expressive bioactive potential that remains underexplored by scientific research. Based on ancestral knowledge and popular traditions that consuming the fruit and infusions made from its roots and leaves may improve physical

ABSTRACT Crohn's disease (CD), a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is a chronic disorder involving any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Ileocecal resection may serve as a more effective treatment option for early CD. However, the potential relationship and mechanisms between the ileocecum and remission induction of CD are still elusive.

Resveratrol, a stilbenic compound deriving from the phenyalanine/polymalonate route, being stilbene synthase the last and key enzyme of this pathway, recently has become the focus of a number of studies in medicine and plant physiology. Increased demand for this molecule for nutraceutical, cosmetic and possibly pharmaceutic uses, makes its production a

In the present investigation, we have tested antitermite responses of Capparis decidua stem, root, flower, and fruit extracts and pure compounds to Odontotermes obesus in various bioassays. Crude stem extract has shown very high susceptibility and very low LD50 values, that is, 14.171 μg/mg in worker termites.

Summary Drought affects the complex interactions between Norway spruce, the bark beetle Ips typographus and associated microorganisms. We investigated the interplay of tree water status, defense and carbohydrate reserves with the incidence of bark beetle attack and infection of associated fungi in mature spruce trees.

The polyphenols, for example stilbenes and flavonoids, are an important family of compounds present in grapes and wines. Several studies have shown that stilbenes are antioxidants and cancer-preventing agents. For the first time, eight natural stilbenes (

Chemical defence in Norway spruce
Norway spruce (Picea abies) responds to stress by biosynthesis of chemical substances, which can deter invading insects or pathogens. Some of these substances are volatile and can be emitted to the surroundings while others are accumulated within the ...

In Planta Localization of Stilbenes within Picea abies Phloem1[OPEN]
The axial parenchyma cells of Norway spruce phloem accumulate stilbenes, the amount of which varies with changes in cell type and cell volume from the inner to the outer phloem. Phenolic stilbene glucosides (astringin, isorhapontin, and piceid) and their
