TL;DR: The diseases in which oxidative stress is one of the triggers and the plant-derived antioxidant compounds with their mechanisms of antioxidant defenses that can help in the prevention of these diseases are discussed.

TL;DR: This work is an updated overview of apigenin, focusing on its health-promoting effects/therapeutic functions and, in particular, results of in vivo research, and an introduction to its chemistry.

TL;DR: Either other compounds present in plasma are likely to exert antioxidant action, or a marked synergistic action between antioxidants should be postulated to exist, as the latter hypothesis is supported by the finding that the simultaneous inactivation of ascorbate and thiol groups produces a loss in antioxidant capacity of plasma greater than the sum of the decreases produced by the separate in activation of each of the two compounds.

TL;DR: Adding a quercetin-containing supplement to the diet markedly enhanced the plasma quercETin concentration but had no effect on other cardiovascular or thrombogenic risk factors.

TL;DR: The study results indicate that vitamin D deficiency is a highly prevalent condition in European adolescents and should be a matter of concern for public health authorities.
