Recent Progress en Medicinal Plantees Vols. 40: Flavonoids et Antioxidants
Description
Flavonoids are natural anti-oxidants derived from plants avec le ability to sequester free radicals. Antioxidants are molecule that inhibit oxidation et harmful activities de free radicals. Natural oxidants are phytochemicals en le form de secondary metabolites that acts as reducing agents, hydrogen donators et single oxygen quenches. Thus, flavonoids may play a significant role en le decreased risk de chronic disease associated avec a diet rich en plant-derived foods. Flavonoids are also common constituents de plants en traditional medicine to treat a wide range de diseases. Le studies sur flavonoids en traditional medicine have remarkably increased en le recent years. Le volume sur “Flavonoids et Antioxidants” de Recent Progress en Medicinal Plantees Series explores structural variations de all subclasses de flavonoids, techniques pour isolation, purification et determination de structures, chemical synthesis, biosynthesis et genetic, patterns de distribution en plants et uses. Simultaneously, le properties de antioxidants have been presented to understand their mechanisms, to clarify their activities et discussed to emphasize le importance de flavonoids by displaying a wide range de pharmacological et biochemical actions, such as antioxidants, antibacterial, antifungal, antithrombotic, antimutagenic, antiobesity et anticarcinogenetic activities. In brief, this Volume aims to describe those flavonoids et antioxidants, which possess many important bioactivities en a comprehensive et organized manner. Le 24 chapters contributed by 77 contributors deals avec le recent findings coupled avec review related to all above aspects de flavonoids et antioxidants. Its contributors are form 15 countries namely: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Egypt, Inde, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Poland, Spain, Taiwan et Turkey. This special volume is designed pour professionals de interdisciplinary health sciences, food technology, pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacognosy, pharmacology, agriculture, botany, medicine, therapeutics, traditional medicine, complementary et alternative medicine, aromatherapy, herbalism, medical et public health sciences, healthcare professionals de other various disciplines, policy-makers et marketing et economic strategists. It is addressed to undergraduates, post-graduates, teachers et researchers.
