...It has also been suggested that the potential of polyphenols to form complexes with metal cations might interfere with the intestinal absorption of iron or copper, thus reducing their bioavailability, although data on this issue are divergent [ 21 ]....

...The chemical antioxidant activity of polyphenols is correlated with the number of hydroxyl groups present on the aromatic A and B rings, and with the presence of a C2‐ C3 double bond (see Fig. 1): the most active ones contain between 3 and 6 hydroxyl groups [20, 21 ]....

...Compared to the other tissues, brain has higher probability to be challenged by ROS, because it consumes more than 20% of all the oxygen utilized by the other organs during mitochondrial respiration; moreover specific reactions, such those catalysed by monoamine oxidases, produce H2O2 and neurotransmitters themselves autoxidize and generate ROS [1]....

...In the brain, ROS can also act indirectly by enhancing the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and the action of constitutive neuronal NOS (nNOS) that increase the production of nitric oxide radical (NO), via the catalytic conversion of arginine to citrulline....
