TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: Results provide evidence for an antioxidant mechanism underlying the anti-inflammatory activity of cat's claw and support some of the biological effects of proanthocyanidins, more exactly its antioxidant and radical scavenging activities.

TL;DR: In this article, the antiradical capacity of Cymbopogon citratus extracts was assessed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay; the infusion extract exhibited the strongest activity.

TL;DR: Propolis exerted an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action and caffeic acid may be involved in its inhibitory effects on NO production and intracellular signaling cascades, suggesting its use as a natural source of safe anti- inflammatory drugs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed fractionated high pressure extractions from elderberry pomace using supercritical CO2 extraction, followed by enhanced solvent extraction (ESE) with diverse CO2/ethanol/H2O solvent mixtures, at 313 K and 21 MPa, in order to obtain anthocyanin-rich fractions.
