This comprehensive volume offers a valuable insight into the therapeutic aspects and applications of antioxidants. It delves into the fundamental mechanisms of therapy-based oxidative damage, exploring the classification of nutritional antioxidants and covering the sources, extraction, and quantification of these beneficial compounds. The volume also examines the controversies surrounding the usefulness or drawbacks of antioxidant supplementation in relation to adaptation and performance. Additionally, it explores the effectiveness of bioactive and antioxidant-based therapies for specific health issues, such as anemia, infectious diseases, urinary tract infections, Parkinson's diseases, and diabetes.
The book begins by discussing the sensing of oxidative stress and the effectiveness of antioxidant treatment. It then introduces various biomarkers to estimate the bioefficacy of dietary/supplemental antioxidants in various forms. Furthermore, it explores the role of free radicals, which can cause "oxidative stress," a process that can lead to cell damage. Antioxidant molecules have been demonstrated in laboratory experiments to counteract oxidative stress, highlighting their potential in protecting cells from oxidative damage.
The volume further discusses the role of antioxidants in promoting overall health and well-being. It explores the protective effects of antioxidants against chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. It also discusses the potential benefits of antioxidant supplementation in athletes, as well as the importance of incorporating antioxidant-rich foods into a healthy diet.
Overall, this comprehensive volume provides a thorough and up-to-date exploration of the therapeutic aspects and applications of antioxidants. It is an essential resource for researchers, healthcare professionals, and individuals interested in understanding the role of antioxidants in promoting health and preventing disease.
