TL;DR: Recently, there have been many studies discussing the ability of polyphenols to suppress the MG and AGEs formation, which was also confirmed in some in vivo studies and discusses the feasibility of the inhibition of glycative stress and dicarbonyl stress by polyphenol.

TL;DR: This paper reviews available information regarding barley phytochemicals and their potential to combat common nutrition-related diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity.

TL;DR: This article systematically introduces the concepts and amelioration mechanisms of the nanomedical techniques for drug- and natural compound-loaded SLNs.

TL;DR: It is contended that the stability and structure behaviors of nanocarriers in the gastrointestinal tract environment and the effects of nanoencapsulation on the metabolism of polyphenols warrant more focused attention in further studies.

TL;DR: The current knowledge of changes in the components, bioactivity, production, and applications of black garlic, as well as the proposed future prospects on their possible applications as a functional food product are summarized.

TL;DR: Recently, stilbenes have attracted extensive attention and interest due to their wide range of health-beneficial effects such as anti-inflammation, -carcinogenic, -diabetes, and -dyslipidemia activities.

TL;DR: Thyme EO has the highest percentage yield and antibacterial potential from all tested formulations; its combination with parsley, lovage, and basil EOs determines a reduction of its antibacterial activity.

TL;DR: Decades of scientific research have initiated the expansion of the term DF to include indigestible oligosaccharides with their DP between 3 and 9; hence responding to the positive health benefits of DF as well as fulfilling the needs in food labeling regulations.

TL;DR: This study attempted to establish a structure-activity relationship between the two major series of molecules with two pharmcophores and their biological activities, which would serve further exploration of the properties of phytocompounds in G. jasminoides as potential functional foods and medicines.

TL;DR: It is suggested furanocoumarins may serve as bioactive components that contribute, at least in part, to the health benefits of grapefruit.

TL;DR: Important emulsion properties are overviewed, and techniques that are commonly used to assess them are provided, and discussions and recommendations are included to make suggestions on advantages and disadvantages when selecting suitable techniques and methods to characterize these quality parameters of emulsion systems.

TL;DR: The cellular antioxidant activities of uridine, adenosine, carboline alkaloids, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and ethyl acetate extracts were consistent with the results of in vitro experimental antioxidant properties.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was the electrochemical detection of the adenosine-3-phosphate degradation product, xanthine, using a newxanthine biosensor based on a hybrid bio-nanocomposite platform which has been successfully employed in the evaluation of meat freshness.

TL;DR: The extraction methods and bioavailability of capsaicinoids are reviewed and discussed, and the pharmacological effects and their underlying mechanisms are also studied.

TL;DR: It was concluded that domestication of Ruta did not significantly affect its chemical composition and consequently the possibility of using R. chalepensis organs as a potential source of natural antioxidants and as an antimicrobial agent in the food industry.

TL;DR: The resulted modified electrode exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic activity in terms of tartrazine oxidation by giving much higher peak currents than those obtained for the unmodified CPE and also other constructed electrodes.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the molecular mechanism(s) of various components in apple, as established in previous studies that indicated their growth-inhibitory effects in various cancer cell types and delineates the direction of future studies that could lead to the development of apple components as a potent chemopreventive/chemotherapeutic agent against cancer.

TL;DR: All evidence suggested that oxidative stress caused MTX-induced nephrotoxicity and GA prevent the kidney from the neph rotoxicity due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

TL;DR: In vitro assays, scavenging activity of superoxide anion radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picry-hydrazyl radical showed that polysaccharides had certain antioxidant activities and that hydroxy radicals have a remarkable scavenging capability.

TL;DR: The chemistry, pharmacology and toxicology of five common NPS of natural origin are discussed, i.e., khat, kratom, salvia, magic mushroom and mandrake, in the hope that professionals and general public alike can pay more attention to the potential problems caused by natural NPS, and suitable control measures will be taken.

TL;DR: In vitro analysis showed antioxidant properties and radical scavenging activities of these peptides on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)+, O2-, and OH- free radicals.

TL;DR: The results of this study provide a reliable basis for not only a better understanding of the histological and biochemical effects of food additives, but also for early diagnostics.
