Recently, the importance of search for the natural antioxidants is increasing because of maleficence of the reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induce oxidative stress in organism. Therefore, this review focuses on the kinds of raw materials, characterizing of antioxidants, and research methods verifying anti-oxidant and antiaging effects as in vitro or in vivo. To verify whether the material has anti-oxidant or anti-aging efficacy, researchers have been carried out experiments such as radical scavenging effects, wrinkle and fat reduction efficacy, and anti-oxidant enzyme activity. This review integrates anti-oxidant agents which receive attention as natureorigin materials. It is needed to contrive novel experimental methods and continuous research may useful to industrial applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
