- It also improved antioxidant responses, electron transport, and energy production biomarkers. (noniresearch.org)
Activity2
- Results: The infusions of fresh blossoms and fresh leaves of Sambucus nigra L had the highest antioxidant activity at the total contact time of 30 minutes (82.7 mmol TE/100 ml) and 35 minutes (36.5 mmol TE/100 ml), respectively. (researchgate.net)
- Antioxidant activity. (bvsalud.org)
Extract1
- "Significant effects were observed in both green tea beverage and extract supplementation, when compared with the control group, in elevating whole blood glutathione concentrations and plasma antioxidant capacity in obese participants with the metabolic syndrome," wrote the researchers.

Inflammation1
- Getting enough antioxidants in your diet may reduce inflammation and lower the risk of many diseases, including cancer and heart disease. (trustedhealthproducts.com)
Cells4
- New research shows that the antioxidant, called EGCG, binds to a protein found on abnormal cells to dramatically slow vtheir growth. (vitacost.com)
- Water-soluble antioxidants perform their actions in the fluid inside and outside cells. (vitacost.com)
- To counter high ROS levels, cells have antioxidant mechanisms that reduce the excess ROS in the cell and keep the 'redox' (from reduction and oxidation) balance of the cell. (elifesciences.org)
- Digital imaging, caries detection lasers, stem cells, digital impressions, and antioxidants are only some of the technologies that are contributing to the enhanced level of care that we can provide for our patients. (dentaleconomics.com)
Vitamin4
- Some plants synthesize large amounts of vitamin C, vitamin E, and carotenoids, which are well-known antioxidants [ 30 - 33 ]. (ijpsonline.com)
- Wandering down the vitamin aisle at your local supermarket, you may have noticed the word "antioxidants" screaming at you from a wide variety of bottles. (greenfootsteps.com)
- Astaxanthin is also better for your dog than most other antioxidants such as vitamin E. Why? (dogsnaturallymagazine.com)
- Menadione (vitamin K-3), phylloquinone (vitamin K-1), and ascorbate have been used to donate electrons to cytochrome c . (medscape.com)
Damage5
- Antioxidants aid in the prevention of oxidation, delaying some types of cell damage. (bodyecology.com)
- But introducing butylated hydroxytoluene, an antioxidant often used as a food additive, to the polymer sample prevented this damage and removed another restriction on imaging conditions - temperature. (materialstoday.com)
- Our work demonstrates that the beam damage can be minimized with the addition of antioxidants at room temperature. (materialstoday.com)
- Not all antioxidants are present in all organs and they help protect them from damage, so we should try to consume them in the form of natural fruits and vegetables, in the form of supplements, or in the form of physical exercise to protect ourselves from various diseases. (shapefit.com)
- Therefore, despite the apparent introduction of a new electron transfer pathway in the βLys66Tyr mutant, the heterogeneity, and susceptibility to oxidative damage argue against this mutant as a suitable starting material for a HBOC. (lu.se)
