Publisher Copyright: © 2025; Background: This study is the first to evaluate a phenolic extract of Salvia officinalis in the TNBS murine model of colitis. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves transmural oxidative and nitrosative stress that up-regulates inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclo‑oxygenase-2 (COX-2). Although phenolic constituents of S. officinalis are anti-inflammatory in vitro, thei...

UIDB/04077/2020; Summer Savory (Satureja hortensis L.) is a plant traditionally used as a food spice in the Mediterranean region. Surprisingly, not much is known about the health beneficial effects of its phenolic-rich extracts. The majority of publications have always focused on the properties of their essential oil. One of the main phenolic compounds of Summer Savory is rosmarinic acid, which has demonstrated...
This research was funded by Universidade de Lisboa PhD grant: REITORIA/BD/FF01/2015. supported in part through Grant UID/DTP/04138/2019 from Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), Portugal.; Persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.), a fruit rich in phenolic compounds (PCs), has been considered effective in mitigating oxidative damage induced by an excess of reactive oxygen species. Due to large molecular weight and...
Background: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) encompasses both Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, known to be connected to an enlarged risk for developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) is a Mediterranean plant used as an aromatic agent, and studies have mainly focused on the essential oil suggesting an anti-inflammatory activity. This work aimed to perform a preliminary screening o...
