Colorectal Carcinoma: A General Overview and Future Perspectives in Colorectal Cancer
Inés Mármol,Cristina Sánchez-de-Diego,Alberto Pradilla Dieste,Elena Cerrada,María Jesús Rodriguez Yoldi +4 more
TL;DR: The choice of first-line treatment in CRC follows a multimodal approach based on tumour-related characteristics and usually comprises surgical resection followed by chemotherapy combined with monoclonal antibodies or proteins against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and epidermal growth receptor (EGFR).

Antioxidants and antioxidant methods: an updated overview
TL;DR: Antioxidants had a growing interest owing to their protective roles in food and pharmaceutical products against oxidative deterioration and in the body and against oxidative stress-mediated pathological processes as discussed by the authors, and many studies evaluating the antioxidant activity of various samples of research interest have been conducted.

Antioxidant Activity/Capacity Measurement. 1. Classification, Physicochemical Principles, Mechanisms, and Electron Transfer (ET)-Based Assays.
TL;DR: This review presents and classify the widely used analytical approaches for evaluating antioxidant capacity/activity and critically evaluates ET-based methods for analytical, food chemical, biomedical/clinical, and environmental scientific communities so that they can effectively use these assays in the correct places to meet their needs.

Preparation and characterization of antioxidant and pH-sensitive films based on chitosan and black soybean seed coat extract
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a pH-sensitive chitosan-BSSCE films by incorporating different amounts of black soybean seed coat extract (BSE), which showed better water vapor and UV-vis light barrier properties and higher mechanical strength than chitosa-based films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the bioavailability of phenolic compounds by loading them within lipid-based nanocarriers
TL;DR: Compared with micro-sized carriers, nanocapsules based on lipid formulations provide more surface area and have the potential to enhance solubility, improve bioavailability, and ameliorate controlled release of the nano-encapsulated phenolic compounds.

Structure-antioxidant activity relationships of flavonoids and phenolic acids
TL;DR: The factors underlying the influence of the different classes of polyphenols in enhancing their resistance to oxidation are discussed and support the contention that the partition coefficients of the flavonoids as well as their rates of reaction with the relevant radicals define the antioxidant activities in the lipophilic phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Chemistry behind Antioxidant Capacity Assays
TL;DR: This analysis suggests that the total phenols assay by FCR be used to quantify an antioxidant's reducing capacity and the ORAC assay to quantify peroxyl radical scavenging capacity, to comprehensively study different aspects of antioxidants.

The Effects of Plant Flavonoids on Mammalian Cells:Implications for Inflammation, Heart Disease, and Cancer
TL;DR: Western medicine has not yet used flavonoids therapeutically, even though their safety record is exceptional, and suggestions are made where such possibilities may be worth pursuing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standardized Methods for the Determination of Antioxidant Capacity and Phenolics in Foods and Dietary Supplements
TL;DR: Methods available for the measurement of antioxidant capacity are reviewed, presenting the general chemistry underlying the assays, the types of molecules detected, and the most important advantages and shortcomings of each method.
