Potential health benefits of anthocyanins in oxidative stress related disorders

Anthocyanins are naturally occurring water-soluble plant pigments belonging to the flavonoids chemical class. The red, blue and purple colours of leaves, flowers fruits plants confirm that they rich sources anthocyanins. Many in vivo vitro studies reveal anthocyanins have different health beneficial effects such as antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, antihypertensive anticancer properties. Major benefits anthocyanin administration owing their potent anti-inflammatory antioxidant activities. Recent investigations revealed activities follow inhibitory pathways NF-кB-mediated decline inflammatory cytokines production. Inhibition also influences modulation arteriolar disorders cardiovascular complications due administration. Moreover, improve diabetes, obesity cancer pathology by inhibiting pathways. However, considerable variations do exist among structurally diverse This review appraises recent literature regarding molecular mechanisms various oxidative stress related pathophysiological conditions.
