Compostos bioativos em alimentos, estresse oxidativo e inflamação: uma visão molecular da nutrição

Abstract

NFkB pathway, responsible for triggering the inflammatory response. Thus, the acquisition about this knowledge is of paramount importance given that this makes it possible to generate new preventive and therapeutic sources, mainly involved with oxidative stress, such as cardiovascular, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, among others.

Resíduos citrícolas: uma breve revisão

“…Esses metabólitos têm ganhado espaço em diversos setores devido à sua capacidade bioativa, principalmente à sua atividade bacteriana e anti-inflamatória (AHMAD et al, 2006). Os compostos bioativos diminuem o estresse oxidativo e atuam na resposta inflamatória, importante na sinalização de doenças cardiovasculares, neurodegenerativas, diabetes e hipertensão (SOARES et al, 2015).…”

Phenolic Composition, Chromatic Parameters and Antioxidant Activity “in vitro” in Tropical Brazilian Red Wines

“…The method is based on initial reactions of reduction of the phenolic compounds to phenol ions, terminated by the alkalinization of the medium [12,21]. The total polyphenols compounds content of the wines was determined in triplicate using the Folin-Ciocalteau reagent [13].…”

“…The phenolic compounds are also associated with several beneficial physiological effects derived from moderate wine consumption [11]. In the human body, the phenolic compounds act as non-enzymatic antioxidants suggesting a free radical scavenging role derived from reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen species [12].…”

“…Among the phenolic compounds of red wines, phenolic acids composed by hydroxycinnamic and hydroxybenzoic acids represent 30% of the phenolic compounds [12].…”

“…The resveratrol is the best known example to Stilbenes [12]. Flavonoids are uncoloured phenolics more abundant in the shell of fruits.…”
