Harnessing the power of nutritional antioxidants against adrenal hormone imbalance-associated oxidative stress

Abstract

Oxidative stress, resulting from dysregulation in the secretion of adrenal hormones, represents a major concern in human health. The present review comprehensively examines various categories of endocrine dysregulation within the adrenal glands, encompassing glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and androgens. Additionally, a comprehensive account of adrenal hormone disorders, including adrenal insufficiency, Cushing’s syndrome, and adrenal tumors, is presented, with particular emphasis on their intricate association with oxidative stress. The review also delves into an examination of various nutritional antioxidants, namely vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids, selenium, zinc, polyphenols, coenzyme Q10, and probiotics, and elucidates their role in mitigating the adverse effects of oxidative stress arising from imbalances in adrenal hormone levels. In conclusion, harnessing the power of nutritional antioxidants has the potential to help with oxidative stress caused by an imbalance in adrenal hormones. This could lead to new research and therapeutic interventions.

Exploring the role of antioxidants in sepsis-associated oxidative stress: a comprehensive review

“…Antioxidant therapy is widely used in cases of OS damage. Antioxidants come in several forms, each with its own unique mechanism of action and clinical use ( Sahoo et al., 2008b ; Prauchner, 2017 ; Chainy and Sahoo, 2020 ; Toro-Pérez and Rodrigo, 2021 ; Ilango et al., 2022 ; Patani et al., 2023 ; Sahoo and Chainy, 2023 ; Sahoo et al, 2023a ). Although oxidative damage is commonly observed in various organs during the progression of sepsis and there exists a direct association between oxidative markers and organ damage, the efficacy of antioxidant effects appears to be contingent not only on the reduction of oxidative damage but also on its anti-inflammatory properties.…”

Harmony in Motion: Unraveling the Nexus of Sports, Plant-Based Nutrition, and Antioxidants for Peak Performance

“…As athletes strive to exceed their physical capabilities through intense workouts, understanding the significance of antioxidants becomes crucial [38,39]. These compounds function as molecular barriers, reducing the potential damage caused by free radicals and preserving the cells integrity [40,41]. Various physiological processes can be disrupted and oxidative stress, which is characterized by an imbalance between the body's capacity to neutralize free radicals and their production, can result in cellular injury.…”

Curcumin‐loaded nanoparticles effectively prevent T4‐induced oxidative stress in rat heart

“…Plant-derived antioxidant compounds and their mechanisms of antioxidant defenses can play a crucial role in preventing diseases that are triggered by oxidative stress. [2][3][4]6,[18][19][20][21][22] Curcumin is a physiologically active phenolic molecule derived from the Indian spice Curcuma longa (turmeric) that has been demonstrated to possess potent anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant activities. 4,6 It efficiently eliminates ROS such as superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals.…”
