Interactions between polyphenolic antioxidants quercetin and naringenin dictate the distinctive redox-related chemical and biological behaviour of their mixtures
PublikacjaFood synergy concept is suggested to explain observations that isolated antioxidants are less bioactive than real foods containing them. However, mechanisms behind this discrepancy were hardly studied. Here, we demonstrate the profound impact of interactions between two common food flavonoids (individual: aglycones quercetin—Q and naringenin—N− or their glycosides rutin—R and naringin—N+ vs. mixed: QN− and RN+) on their electrochemical...

Pulsowo-różnicowa woltamperometria jako narzędzie pozwalające na wyznaczenie wartości mocy przeciwutleniającej
PublikacjaStandardowy potencjał redukcji (E0) jako parametr określający zdolność przeciwutleniaczy, jak np. flawan-3-oli do przyjmowania elektronów wykazywał wysoką korelację z ich aktywnością biologiczną. Jednak, w przypadku oceny całkowitej aktywności przeciwutleniającej mieszanin tych związków, parametr ten może okazać się być niewystarczającym. Bowiem do określenia tzw. mocy przeciwutleniającej ang. antioxidant power (AOP) powinny być...

The Caucasian flora: a still-to-be-discovered rich source of antioxidants
PublikacjaCellular redox homeostasis is a state of balance between the formation of Usually Reactive Oxygen and / or Nitrogen Species (ROS/RNS), endogenous antioxidant defence systems, and exogenous dietary antioxidants. The disturbance of redox homeostasis, by the overproduction of endogenous ROS/RNS, may increase the risk of development of so-called civilisation diseases. The solution seems to be either the increased production of endogenous...
