Antioxidant Capacity and NF-kB-Mediated Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Six Red Uruguayan Grape Pomaces

TL;DR: In this paper, six Uruguayan red grape pomaces were evaluated in their phenolics composition, antioxidant capacity, and anti-inflammatory properties, and a molecular docking study was carried out to rationalize the experimental results allowing them to propose the proactive interaction between the NF-κB, the grape extracts phenols, and their putative antiinflammatory bioactivity.

Establishment of the trans-resveratrol-induced mouse pulmonary fibrosis model and its comparison with the bleomycin-induced model

TL;DR: Although the pathogenesis is not understood, the TR-induced PF model indicated that there may be a close relationship between PF and tumors and antitumor drugs, which requires further exploration.

What We Know about Euterpe Genus and Neuroprotection: A Scoping Review

TL;DR: The Euterpe genus (mainly Euterp oleracea Martius, precatoria Martius and edulis Martius) has recently gained commercial and scientific notoriety due to the high nutritional value of its fruits, which are rich in polyphenols (phenolic acids and anthocyanins) and have potent antioxidant activity as discussed by the authors .
Journal ArticleDOI

Free Radicals and Actinobacteria as a Misexplored Goldmine of Antioxidant Compounds.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature about Actinobacteria highlights an important capacity of producing natural antioxidants; however, there is a lack of in vivo studies of these isolated compounds.

Multiple Metabolites Derived from Mushrooms and Their Beneficial Effect on Alzheimer’s Diseases

TL;DR: In this article , a review summarizes recent investigations of multiple constituents (carbohydrates, peptides, phenols, etc.) isolated from mushrooms to combat Alzheimer's disease, and the underlying molecular mechanisms of mushroom metabolites against AD are discussed.

The Amyloid Hypothesis of Alzheimer's Disease: Progress and Problems on the Road to Therapeutics

TL;DR: It has been more than 10 years since it was first proposed that the neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be caused by deposition of amyloid β-peptide in plaques in brain tissue and the rest of the disease process is proposed to result from an imbalance between Aβ production and Aβ clearance.

Targeting cancer cells by ROS-mediated mechanisms: a radical therapeutic approach?

TL;DR: It is argued that modulating the unique redox regulatory mechanisms of cancer cells might be an effective strategy to eliminate these cells.

The effect of vitamin E and beta carotene on the incidence of lung cancer and other cancers in male smokers

TL;DR: No reduction in the incidence of lung cancer among male smokers is found after five to eight years of dietary supplementation with alpha-tocopherol or beta carotene, and this trial raises the possibility that these supplements may actually have harmful as well as beneficial effects.
