The content is divided into three main parts, the first of which covers various antioxidants (such as polyphenols, carotenoids, tocopherols, tocotrienols, glutathione, ascorbic acid), their origins, plant biochemistry and industrial utilization. In turn, the book?s second, main part focuses on antioxidants? beneficial health effects, explains biochemical fundamentals such as the free radical theory and oxidative stress, and discusses antioxidants? role in e.g. cancer, cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, degenerative diseases and ageing. The third part reviews general laboratory methods for antioxidant screening, preservation and determination. Written by an international team of experts, this highly interdisciplinary book will benefit a broad range of health professionals and researchers working in biochemistry, biotechnology, nutrition, plant science and food chemistry. It offers an indispensable, up-to-date guide for anyone interested in antioxidants and the role of a plant-based diet in disease prevention and control. 410 0$aReference Series in Phytochemistry,$x2511-834X 606 $aAntioxidants$xHealth aspects 606 $aMedicinal plants$xUtilization 615 0$aAntioxidants$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aMedicinal plants$xUtilization. 676 $a572 702 $aEkiert$b Halina Maria$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRamawat$b Kishan Gopal$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aArora$b Jaya$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416131703321 996 $aPlant Antioxidants and Health$92510243 997 $aUNINA
