Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutraceuticals are defined as any substances that are foods or part of foods, with health benefits, in addition to the basic nutritional value found in foods. Over the last few years, nutraceuticals attracted considerable interest due to their potential nutritional content, safety, and therapeutic effects. Nutraceuticals have shown to regulate a plethora of biological processes, including hypoxia, oxidative stress, inflammation, cell proliferation, fibrosis, apoptosis, cellular senecesce, angiogenesis, migration, and, metabolism etc. Therefore, they may be used to improve health, and prevent chronic inflammatory diseases.
Reproductive health refers to the condition of female reproductive system that include ovary, uterus and hormone-producing glands (such as pituitary gland in the brain). Women of reproductive age experience with various gynecological health and disorders such as menstruation and menstrual irregularities, dysmenorrhoea, urinary tract health, bacterial vaginosis, vaginitis and, infertility. Women also experience with endometrial, ovarian, and cervical cancers, as well as uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, adenomyomsis, and endometriosis. The use of nutraceuticals is increasing dramatically for reproductive disorders because there is growing evidence of clinical benefits. However, the detail studies are needed to validate their efficacy, mechanisms of action, and adverse effects. The purpose of this special issue is to collect manuscripts on the role of nutraceuticals in women’s health, and associated disorders.
