Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Cancer: How Are They Linked?

TL;DR: Observations to date suggest that oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and cancer are closely linked.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyphenols and Human Health: Prevention of Disease and Mechanisms of Action

TL;DR: The role that polyphenols play in the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease and neurodegeneration is provided and epidemiological data, human intervention study findings, as well as animal and in vitro studies in support of these actions are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sustained proliferation in cancer: Mechanisms and novel therapeutic targets

TL;DR: Natural compounds found to inhibit one or more pathways that contribute to proliferation have been found and will be very important for identifying signaling pathways and molecular targets that may provide early diagnostic markers and/or critical targets for the development of new drugs or drug combinations that block tumor formation and progression.

Dietary factors affecting polyphenol bioavailability

Torsten Bohn
- 01 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: Increased knowledge of the factors affecting polyphenol bioavailability, including dietary factors, is paramount and polyphenols may act synergistically due to their influence on efflux transporters such as p-glycoprotein.

Free Radicals in the Physiological Control of Cell Function

Wulf Dröge
TL;DR: There is growing evidence that aging involves, in addition, progressive changes in free radical-mediated regulatory processes that result in altered gene expression.

Polyphenols: food sources and bioavailability

TL;DR: The nature and contents of the various polyphenols present in food sources and the influence of agricultural practices and industrial processes are reviewed, and bioavailability appears to differ greatly between the variousPolyphenols, and the most abundantpolyphenols in the authors' diet are not necessarily those that have the best bioavailability profile.

Free radicals, metals and antioxidants in oxidative stress-induced cancer

TL;DR: This review examines the evidence for involvement of the oxidative stress in the carcinogenesis process and the role of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants in the process of carcinogenesis as well as the antioxidant interactions with various regulatory factors.
