Radical Scavenging Activity of Puerarin: A Theoretical Study.

TL;DR: The free radical scavenging ability of puerarin was investigated systematically by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and the reaction activity was compared with daidzein and with special radicals •OH and •OOH.

Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Six Flavonoids from Smilax glabra Roxb

TL;DR: All the six flavonoids could significantly inhibit the secretion of IL-1β, IL-6, NO and the protein expression of NF-κB p-p65 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and showed strong antioxidant activities, not only in DPPH and ABTS+ radicals scavenging capacities, but in FRAP system.

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.

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.
