“…The risk to develop osteoporosis is four times higher in postmenopausal women than in men due to the decreased estrogen levels after menopause and represents the highest osteoporosis risk in the whole population [60]. Etiological risk factors associated with osteoporosis include poor nutrition, imbalanced cytokines and hormones, and aging process [61]. It has been noticed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in the aging process, and greatly contribute to osteoporosis [62].…”

Polyphenols represent a group of chemical substances common in plants, structurally characterized by the presence of one or more phenol units. Polyphenols are the most abundant antioxidants in human diets and the largest and best studied class of polyphenols is flavonoids, which include several thousand compounds. Numerous studies confirm that they exert a protective action on human health and are key components of a healthy and balanced diet. Epidemiological studies correlate flavonoid intake with a reduced incidence of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. The involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the etiology of these degenerative conditions has suggested that phytochemicals showing antioxidant activity may contribute to the prevention of these pathologies. The present review deals with phenolic compounds in plants and reports on recent studies. Moreover, the present work includes information on the relationships between the consumption of these compounds, via feeding, and risk of disease occurrence, i.e. the effect on human health. Results obtained on herbs, essential oils, from plants grown in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions, were also reported
