Biochemical and cellular basis of oxidative stress: Implications for disease onset
( Wiley , 2023 , Article Review)Cellular oxidation–reduction (redox) systems, which encompass pro- and antioxidant molecules, are integral components of a plethora of essential cellular processes. Any dysregulation of these systems can cause molecular ... -
Biological Activities and Chemical Composition of Methanolic Extracts of Selected Autochthonous Microalgae Strains from the Red Sea
( MDPI AG , 2015 , Article)Four lipid-rich microalgal species from the Red Sea belonging to three different genera (Nannochloris, Picochlorum and Desmochloris), previously isolated as novel biodiesel feedstocks, were bioprospected for high-value, ... -
Cytoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-migratory activity of Pistacia lentiscus L. supercritical carbon dioxide extract on primary human endothelial cells
( Taylor & Francis , 2022 , Article)Green chemistry is a useful tool for producing valuable chemicals from biomass. However, extracted compounds need to be tested for safety and efficacy before their use in humans. Here we investigate the chemical composition ... -
Determination of Medicago orbicularis Antioxidant, Antihemolytic, and Anti-Cancerous Activities and Its Augmentation of Cisplatin-Induced Cytotoxicity in A549 Lung Cancer Cells
( MDPI , 2023 , Article)The anti-lung cancer properties of the plant Medicago orbicularis have not been explored yet. Therefore, we identified its phytochemical composition and investigated the antioxidant, anti-hemolytic, and anti-cancerous ... -
Herbal Medicine for Cardiovascular Diseases: Efficacy, Mechanisms, and Safety
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2020 , Article)Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a significant health burden with an ever-increasing prevalence. They remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The use of medicinal herbs continues to be an ... -
Montmorency tart cherry supplementation does not impact sleep, body composition, cellular health, or blood pressure in healthy adults
( SAGE , 2022 , Article)Background: Sleep disturbances are linked with cardiovascular and metabolic disease as well as poor body composition. Aim: To investigate the use of tart cherry supplements, which are high in antioxidants and may contain ... -
Resveratrol Inhibits Oxidative Stress and Prevents Mitochondrial Damage Induced by Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
( MDPI , 2020 , Article)Despite their wide industrial use, Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit a high toxic potential while concerns of their health-related risks are still present, urging additional in vivo clarification studies. ... -
Retarding aging of asphalt binders using antioxidant additives and copolymers
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)The rheological properties of asphalt binders change with aging. Aging is accelerated at elevated temperatures due to binder oxidation, leading to fatigue cracking and eventually pavement failure under heavy and repeated ...
