Natural antioxidants, including polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins and carotenoids, play
an important role in the treatment and prevention of a large number of diseases. However …

The recent explosion of interest in the bioactivity of the the flavonoids of higher plants is due,
at least in part, to the potential health benefits of these polyphenolic components of major …

Metabolism, like other aspects of life, involves tradeoffs. Oxidant by-products of normal
metabolism cause extensive damage to DNA, protein, and lipid. We argue that this damage …

It is increasingly proposed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species
(RNS) play a key role in human cancer development [1–6], especially as evidence is …

The purpose of this investigation was to establish the relative antioxidant activities in vitro of
the flavanolic polyphenols, the catechins, and catechin-gallate esters. The relative …

LYCOPENE IS A CAROTENOID THAT IS PRESENT IN TOMATOES, processed tomato
products and other fruits. It is one of the most potent antioxidants among dietary carotenoids …

Epidemiological evidence indicates that avoidance of smoking, increased consumption of
fruits and vegetables, and control of infections will have a major effect on reducing rates of …

Fruits and vegetables in the diet have been found in epidemiology studies to be protective
against several chronic diseases. Epidemiological evidence suggests that flavonoid …

This work was conducted to optimise extraction conditions of phenolics and dietary fibre
from date seeds. The effects of solvent to sample ratio, temperature, extraction time, number …

In living cells reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed continuously as a consequence of
metabolic and other biochemical reactions as well as external factors. Some ROS have …
