Lemna Minor L, Novel Approach to Pulmonary Fibrosis and Oxidative Stress
Natural fast-growing plants with antioxidant character are a possible key against fibrous structures, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, complicated pregnancy and cancer. The biological activity of antioxidants is determined by their ability to neutralize reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), counteract oxidative damage, interrupting ROS/RNS mediated chain reactions, improving endogenous-endogenous redox potential. Knowing the specifics of their […]

Description
Natural fast-growing plants with antioxidant character are a possible key against fibrous structures, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, complicated pregnancy and cancer. The biological activity of antioxidants is determined by their ability to neutralize reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), counteract oxidative damage, interrupting ROS/RNS mediated chain reactions, improving endogenous-endogenous redox potential. Knowing the specifics of their mechanism of action is important for understanding the proper process of cell signal maintenance, their additional mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic properties. The cellular protection of these messengers is mediated by the activity of modulations of macromolecules (proteins, lipids, DNA and others) and their influence on epigenetic mechanisms in various changes of oxidative stress, metabolic/signaling pathways and as fibrotic protectors.
