Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since ancient times, natural products have been considered an important source of bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential; therefore, topics related to food and nutrition are receiving significant interest in biomedical research.
Among these bioactive compounds are those with phenolic profiles that are present in different plant species; these represent the largest group of non-energy compounds in plant-based foods. Various epidemiological studies have shown correlations between high consumption of cereals, fruits, and vegetables and a lower risk of diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as cancer, inflammation, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. These protective effects could be related to the antioxidant properties of phenolic compounds. Therefore, some of these phytochemicals have been used for medicinal purposes as dietary supplements, traditional herbal medicinal products, and even as isolated drugs. The antioxidant effects of phenolic compounds can be exerted directly by scavenging free radicals or indirectly by modulating gene expression and the activities of enzymes involved in redox homeostasis.
