Antioxidant assays – consistent findings from FRAP and ORAC reveal a negative impact of organic cultivation on antioxidant potential in spinach but not watercress or rocket leaves
Watercress (Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum), wild rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia), and spinach (Spinacia oleracea) are commercial crops reported to have high concentrations of antioxidants, possibly contributing to disease prevention following human consumption. Following analysis of supermarket-purchased salad leaves, we report the antioxidant content potential of these species using two comparab...
متن کاملCarnosol: A Phenolic Diterpene With Cancer Chemopreventive Potential
Cancer is an unbeaten health challenge for the humankind. After striving for decades to find a cancer cure, attention has now been shifted to reduce the morbidity and mortality from cancer by halting the course of tumor development. Numerous bioactive phytochemicals, especially those present in edible and non-edible plant species, have been reported to reduce the risk of many cancers. Multiple ...
متن کاملNoduliprevenone: a novel heterodimeric chromanone with cancer chemopreventive potential.
Chemoprevention is considered a new strategy in fighting diverse types of cancer. To influence cancer development and progression, signaling pathways, for example, enzymes like cyclooxygenase-2, transcription factors like NF-kB, and several metabolic processes leading to activation or deactivation of carcinogenic agents, are envisaged as promising approaches. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes activ...
متن کاملCancer Chemopreventive Potential of Procyanidin
Chemoprevention entails the use of synthetic agents or naturally occurring dietary phytochemicals to prevent cancer development and progression. One promising chemopreventive agent, procyanidin, is a naturally occurring polyphenol that exhibits beneficial health effects including anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and antitumor activities. Currently, many preclinical reports suggest procyani...
متن کاملA Salad of Cocycles
We study the centraliser of locally compact group extensions of er-godic probability preserving transformations. New methods establishing ergodicity of group extensions are introduced, and new examples of squashable and non-coalescent group extensions are constructed. Smooth versions of some of the constructions are also given. §0 Introduction Let T be an ergodic probability preserving transfor...
