Antioxidants in Disease Mechanisms and Therapy presents molecular actions of natural and synthetic antioxidants and emphasizes the potential role in disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. The modulationof gene expression by the induction of antioxidant enzymes is a novel role beyond the direct antioxidant action. The volume explores the current state of knowledge on oxidants and antioxidants in disease processes, including arteriosclerosis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, cystic fibrosis, Down’s syndrome, inflammation, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, afflications

This comprehensive reference consolidates current information on the antioxidant properties of wheat, their beneficial effects, the mechanisms involved, factors affecting availability/bioavailability, and the methods used to measure them. It discusses antioxidant properties of wheat grains and fractions and their phytochemical compositions and covers the effects of genotype, growing conditions, post-harvest treatment, storage, and food formulation and processing on availability/bioavailability. Wheat Antioxidants will help cereal chemists, food technologists, food processors, nutritionists, a

In biological systems, the normal processes of oxidation (plus a minor contribution from ionising radiation) produce highly reactive free radicals. These can readily react with and damage other molecules. In some cases, the body uses free radicals to destroy foreign or unwanted objects, such as in an infection. However, in the wrong place, the body’s own cells may become damaged. Should the damage occur to DNA, the result could be cancer. Antioxidants decrease the damage done to cells by reducing oxidants before they can damage the cell. Virtually all studies of mammals have concluded th

This text describes the roles of naturally occuring antioxidants in living cells. It focuses on stoichiometric antioxidants - small molecules that the cell can rapidly produce and transport into regions of oxidative stress. Naturally Occurring Antioxidants reflects the growing interest in these compounds among the scientific community. This book explores how quantitative measures can provide a more complete understanding of important substances and their reactions, allowing us to address some crucial environmental and health questions. Environmental chemists and toxicologists, general organic
