The influence of Castanea sativa Mill. flower extract on hormonally and chemica...
Nascimento-Gonçalves, E.; Seixas, F.; Silva, M.; Fardilha, M.; Ferreira, R.; Neuparth, M. J.; Faustino-Rocha, A. I.; Colaço, B.; Venâncio, C.Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men, with a huge impact on their health. The use of Castanea sativa Mill. flowers (CFs) in beverages has been reported, through ancestral claims, as having health benefits. In vitro research has evidenced the properties of CFs, such as antitumor and antioxidant activities. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of CF extract in an animal model of PCa....
Evaluating the impact of sprouting conditions on the glucosinolate content of B...
Vale, Ana Paula; Santos, J.; Brito, Nuno Vieira; Fernandes, D.; Rosa, E.; Beatriz, M.; Oliveira, P.P.The glucosinolates content of brassica plants is a distinctive characteristic, representing a healthy advan- tage as many of these compounds are associated to antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties. Brassica sprouts are still an underutilized source of these bioactive compounds. In this work, four varieties of bras- sica sprouts (red cabbage, broccoli, Galega kale and Penca cabbage), including two local v...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) phenolic compounds under elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) c...
Goufo, P.; Pereira, J.; Moutinho-Pereira, J.; Correia, C.; Figueiredo, N.; Carranca, C.; Rosa, E.; Trindade, HPrevious studies have shown that elevated levels of carbon dioxide [CO2] may increase, decrease, or have no effect on the concentrations of phenolic compounds in plants. The underlying causes of these variations in responses remain poorly understood. In the present study, it was hypothesized that different plant responses come mainly from the duration of exposure to the gas, growing conditions, and sampling pro...
Effect of elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) on phenolic acids, flavonoids, tocopher...
Goufo, P.; Pereira, J.; Figueiredo, N.; Oliveira, M.; Carranca, C.; Rosa, E.; Trindade, H.There have been no studies conducted with the objective of investigating the effect of elevated CO2 concentrations ([CO2]) on antioxidants in grains. Therefore, a two-year field experiment was conducted using open-top chambers with two levels of atmospheric CO2 (375 and 550 mmol/mol) to evaluate their effects on rice grain antioxidants. Following exposure to high [CO2], the total phenolic content of all rice mil...
