Saffron bioactives crocin, crocetin and safranal: effect on oxidative stress and mechanisms of action

Debora Cerda-Bernad et al.

Summary: This article discusses the antioxidant effects of saffron compounds and their mechanisms of action in reducing the generation of reactive oxygen species. These compounds have various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antidiabetic effects. Due to their strong antioxidant effects, saffron could be a significant source for developing functional foods.

Restoring Sperm Quality Post-Cryopreservation Using Mitochondrial-Targeted Compounds

Macarena Gonzalez et al.

Summary: This study investigated the potential of mitochondrial antioxidants to protect sperm quality during cryopreservation. The results showed that the addition of BGP-15 or L-carnitine to the cryopreservation medium improved sperm motility and prevented loss of viability. These antioxidants also reduced DNA oxidative damage, with BGP-15 significantly reducing DNA fragmentation. Overall, this study highlights the importance of mitochondrial antioxidants in improving long-term fertility preservation in males.
