Analysis of the inhibition of lipoperoxidation and carbonylation in human plasma by natural infusions used in Mexico

Abstract

Chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases and aging. These processes are related to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid and protein oxidation products, which can cause cellular and tissue damage. Therefore, the search for natural compounds with antioxidant properties that can mitigate these oxidative processes is of great interest in the field of health and nutrition. Mexico is a country known for its rich biodiversity and its tradition in the use of medicinal plants and natural infusions with therapeutic properties. In this context, this article focuses on the analysis of the capacity of natural infusions used in traditional Mexican medicine to inhibit lipoperoxidation and carbonylation in human plasma. These infusions, derived from native plants and aromatic herbs, have been passed down from generation to generation as natural remedies and have been used to treat a wide range of health conditions.
