Protection against indomethacin-induced loss of intestinal epithelial barrier function by a quercetin oxidation metabolite present in onion peel: In vitro and in vivo studies

Jocelyn Fuentes et al.

Summary: The quercetin oxidation metabolite 2-(3,4-dihydroxybenzoyl)-2,4,6-trihydroxy-3(2H)-benzofuranone (BZF) and its rich onion peel aqueous extract (OAE) can protect against the loss of intestinal epithelial barrier function (IEBF) induced by NSAIDs. The protective effect may involve the dual capacity of activating Nrf2 while inhibiting NF- K B activation.

Defining roles of specific reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cell biology and physiology

Helmut Sies et al.

Summary: This article discusses the key issues associated with identifying the physiological roles of oxidants, with a focus on H2O2 and O-2(.-). The article emphasizes the need for more precise measurement of oxidants and specific identification of their signaling targets. It also highlights the importance of inter-organellar communication and the contribution of environmental exposures. Development of tools for real-time detection and quantification of individual oxidants is crucial for achieving these goals.

Revisiting the Oxidation of Flavonoids: Loss, Conservation or Enhancement of Their Antioxidant Properties

Herna Speisky et al.

Summary: Flavonoids have the ability to act as antioxidants, but their phenolic moieties are easily oxidized, compromising their antioxidant capacity. However, the oxidation of certain flavonoids can actually enhance their antioxidant properties. This apparent paradox is due to the pro-oxidant and/or electrophilic character of the oxidation-derived metabolites, which activate the cell's endogenous antioxidant capacity or prevent the activation of pro-oxidant pathways.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Cardiovascular Diseases: Potential Targets for Treatment

Jiaqi Yang et al.

Summary: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major public health concern, with mitochondrial dysfunction playing a significant role in their development. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death, but mitochondria can protect against these damages by regulating homeostasis. Mitochondria-targeted therapy for CVDs has gained attention, with clinical drugs showing mitochondrial protective functions. Experimental and clinical studies have identified various cardiac mitochondrial targets that have cardioprotective effects.

Melanie Platzer et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant properties of secondary plant metabolites and their impact on the outcome of the oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay. The number of hydroxyl groups was found to have a greater influence on antioxidant activity, while the Bors criteria had a smaller impact. Different antioxidant assays may be based on distinct reaction mechanisms.

Recent insights into oxidative metabolism of quercetin: catabolic profiles, degradation pathways, catalyzing metalloenzymes and molecular mechanisms

Bin Guo et al.

Summary: Quercetin, the most abundant polyphenolic flavonoid in vegetal foods and medicinal plants, has multiple beneficial health effects. However, controversies exist regarding its antioxidant and pro-oxidant properties, stability and bioavailability, and its exact roles in vivo. Recent evidence suggests that the oxidation of quercetin to generate diverse chemical compounds is a new linkage to its versatile actions.

Quercetin Oxidation Metabolite Present in Onion Peel Protects Caco-2 Cells against the Oxidative Stress, NF-κB Activation, and Loss of Epithelial Barrier Function Induced by NSAIDs

Jocelyn Fuentes et al.

Summary: The study investigated the protective effects of BZF and BZF-rich OAE against oxidative stress and increased permeability induced by NSAIDs, finding that the prevention of NSAIDs-induced oxidative stress and NF-kappa B activation plays no fundamental role in the IP-protecting effect of OAE, except for with indomethacin.
