Secondary Metabolites for the Reduction of Oxidative Stress by Andrea Ragusa
Oxidative stress is at the root of several pathological conditions. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are normally produced inside cells, and their amount is finely counterbalanced by antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, GPx, and catalase. However, when this homeostasis is interrupted, cells suffer from oxidative stress that can also lead to cardivascular and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as cancer, to name a few.
In order to help cells fight excess ROS, esogenous antioxidant molecules can be administered through diet. For example, fruit and vegetables are rich in secondary metabolites with antioxidant properties, as are many beverages obtained from natural products. Wine is at the base of the Frech paradox, supposedly because of the high amount of polyphenols contained. Olive oil is one of the base components of the Mediterranean diet and strongly contributes to its beneficial health effects. Several molecules contained in these products, although at low concentrations, have already been shown to exert antioxidant activity, among others, both in vitro and in vivo.
This reprint collected contributions from eight original research articles as well as four review articles regarding the exploitation of secondary metabolites in natural products (or derived from them) for reducing oxidative stress.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
