Topic

Oxygen centered free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly toxic resulting in cell death and tissue damage leading to chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer, cirrhosis and neurodegenerative disorders. Antioxidants are compounds which can inhibit or delay the oxidative damage preventing many diseases. Plant polyphenols are naturally occurring secondary plant metabolites, synthesized in response to environmental stress factors. As being antioxidants and free-radical scavengers they serve as essential components of the human diet. The aim of the course is to summarise the most recent researches in the topic according to the prestigious scientific journals available in English language.
