“…In detail, common antioxidant properties of these compounds consist of reducing the levels of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS, respectively), enhancing superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) activities along with heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and thioredoxin levels, and eventually, decreasing lipid peroxidation assessed as reduction of malondialdehyde (MDA) content and lipoxygenase (LPX) inhibition [6,7,12,17,[26][27][28]69,70,73,75,78,79,81,[85][86][87]. They also counteract mitochondrial alterations, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and apoptosis by improving mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) depolarization and ATP production while promoting mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis, and by decreasing the levels of C/EBP Homologous Protein (CHOP), pJNK, p-p38, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, caspases 3, 6 and 9, and cytochrome-c release [12,16,51,68,69,71,73,75,77,78,81,83].…”
