The possibility to prevent and/or support pharmacological therapy, which is nowadays mainly based on pharmaceuticals, can be a powerful tool to face pathological, chronic, long-term diseases in subjects who do not qualify for a pharmacological therapy. Nutraceuticals are obtained from vegetal or animal origin foods, and prospective research on these products will clarify their role, safety and efficacy by substantiating their role with clinical data. An effort to clarify their mechanism of action will open a door to the next generation of therapeutic agents that do not propose themselves as an alternative to drugs, but, instead, can be helpful to complement a pharmacological therapy, and to prevent the onset of chronical diseases. The market as well as the interest of people in naturally-derived remedies and less synthetic pharmaceuticals is growing, and the attention of the collective public imagination is nowadays more strongly focused on these food-derived products. This Special Issue is dedicated to the role of and perspectives on nutraceuticals in human health, examined from different angles ranging from analytical aspects to clinical trials, and from efficacy studies to beneficial effects on health conditions.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscFood & societybicsscbioactive polysaccharidesextractionbiomedical applicationsfenugreek seedgarliclinseedcopper sulfateyolkcholesterolcarotenoidflavonoidsoxidative statuspolyphenolsyolk colorapigeninluteolindegradationferrous ionscupric ionscervical cancer cellsgrowth inhibitionapoptosisegg qualityHaugh unitspirulinaantioxidant capacityfulvic acidsfunctional beverageironmineralAllium sativumβ-carboline alkaloidsanti-adipogenic effects3T3-L1 preadipocytesAc-α-tubulingrapegrape seedsFTIR spectroscopychemometricsfatty acidsphenolic compoundsbiorefinerynutraceuticalsPrunus serotinedefatted floursoluble proteinprotein concentrateemulsifying propertiesemulsion stabilityginger waterobesityenergy homeostasisgene expressionratanti-inflammatoryantimicrobialantioxidantanthocyaninsmedicinal foodsPlatycodon grandiflorusmedicinal foodsaponinshuman healthapplicationscherryintestinal absorptionnanoparticlesnanosystemsHUVECbioactive compoundssafetyhealthregulationclinical testsefficacyanalysisformulationResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesFood & societyDurazzo Alessandraedt1296666Lucarini MassimoedtSantini AntonelloedtDurazzo AlessandraothLucarini MassimoothSantini AntonelloothBOOK9910557765703321Nutraceuticals in Human Health3035965UNINA
