Abstract
An excessive production of oxidants disturbs the normal intracellular equilibrium, and can lead to an “oxidative stress”. Recent data indicate that several components of the regular diet as well as chemical compounds and drugs can modulate the so-called “oxidative stress” both via anti-oxidant effects and via inhibition or activation of the enzymes involved in reactive nitrogen oxygen species (RNOS). We will describe in this review article the biochemistry of oxygen, the physiological roles and regulation of oxidative stress. The clinical relevance of uncontrolled oxidative stress will be presented as well as the results of therapeutic trials with antioxidants. New promising strategies which modulate the activities of the RNOS generating enzymes, with selected catalytic inhibitors will be discussed.

Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
Natural Bioactive Compounds Derivatives in Nutraceutical and Food Science
In the last years, plants have been widely used for their numerous properties and now there is growing interest in the study of classes of compounds obtained from plant species or derived from them. The importance of these natural compounds lies in their important therapeutic purposes, and in their capability ...read more
