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...
Antioxidants: Positive or Negative Actors?
Salehi, B; Martorell, M; Arbiser, J; Sureda, A; Martins, N; Maurya, P; Sharifi-Rad, M; Kumar, P; Sharifi-Rad, JThe term "antioxidant" is one of the most confusing definitions in biological/medical sciences. In chemistry, "antioxidant" is simply conceived "a compound that removes reactive species, mainly those oxygen-derived", while in a cell context, the conceptual definition of an antioxidant is poorly understood. Indeed, non-clinically recommended antioxidants are often consumed in large amounts by the global populati...
Plants of genus Mentha: From farm to food factory
Salehi, B; Stojanovic-Radic, Z; Matejic, J; Sharopov, F; Antolak, H; Kregiel, D; Sen, S; Sharifi-Rad, M; Acharya, K; Sharifi-Rad, R; Martorell, MGenus Mentha, a member of Lamiaceae family, encompasses a series of species used on an industrial scale and with a well-described and developed culture process. Extracts of this genus are traditionally used as foods and are highly valued due to the presence of significant amounts of antioxidant phenolic compounds. Many essential oil chemotypes show distinct aromatic flavor conferred by different terpene proport...
