Cordyceps spp.: A Review on Its Immune-Stimulatory and Other Biological Potentials
Das, G; Shin, HS; Leyva-Gómez, G; Prado-Audelo, MLD; Cortes, H; Singh, YD; Panda, MK; Mishra, AP; Nigam, M; Saklani, S; Chaturi, PK; Martorell, MIn recent decades, interest in the Cordyceps genus has amplified due to its immunostimulatory potential. Cordyceps species, its extracts, and bioactive constituents have been related with cytokine production such as interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a, phagocytosis stimulation of immune cells, nitric oxide production by increasing inducible nitric oxide synthas...
Phytosterols: From Preclinical Evidence to Potential Clinical Applications
Salehi, B; Quispe, C; Sharifi-Rad, J; Martins, N; Nigam, M; Mishra, AP; Konovalov, DA; Orobinskaya, V; Abu-Reidah, IM; Zam, W; Sharopov, F; Venneri, TPhytosterols (PSs) are plant-originated steroids. Over 250 PSs have been isolated, and each plant species contains a characteristic phytosterol composition. A wide number of studies have reported remarkable pharmacological effects of PSs, acting as chemopreventive, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antiatherosclerotic agents. However, PS bioavailability is a key issue, as it can be influenced by...
Plant-derived bioactives and oxidative stress-related disorders: A key trend to...
Salehi, B; Azzini, E; Zucca, P; Varoni, EM; Kumar, NVA; Dini, L; Panzarini, E; Rajkovic, J; Fokou, PVT; Peluso, I; Mishra, AP; Nigam, M; Rayess, YEPlants and their corresponding botanical preparations have been used for centuries due to their remarkable potential in both the treatment and prevention of oxidative stress-related disorders. Aging and aging-related diseases, like cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders, which have increased exponentially, are intrinsically related with redox imbalance and oxidative stress. Hu...
Current trends on seaweeds: Looking at chemical composition, phytopharmacology,...
Salehi, B; Sharifi-Rad, J; Seca, AML; Pinto, DCGA; Michalak, I; Trincone, A; Mishra, AP; Nigam, M; Zam, W; Martins, NSeaweeds have received huge interest in recent years given their promising potentialities. Their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, hypolipemic, and anticoagulant effects are among the most renowned and studied bioactivities so far, and these effects have been increasingly associated with their content and richness in both primary and secondary metabolites. Although primary metabolites have a pivotal im...
