Anti-Inflammatory and Organ-Protective Effects of Resveratrol in Trauma-Hemorrhagic Injury by Fu-Chao Liu, Yung-Fong Tsai, Hsin-I Tsai, Huang-Ping Yu

“…Such protective phenomenon is reported to be implicated in a variety of intracellular signaling pathways including the activation of estrogen receptor, the regulation of the sirtuin 1/nuclear factor-kappa B and mitogen-activated protein kinases/hemeoxygenase-1 pathway, and the mediation of proinflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species formation and reaction. In the recent studies, resveratrol attenuates hepatocyte injury and improves cardiac contractility due to reduction of proinflammatory mediator expression and ameliorates hypoxia-induced liver and kidney mitochondrial dysfunction following trauma and hemorrhagic injuries. …”

Antioxidant Potential and Its Changes Caused by Various Factors in Lesser-Known Medicinal and Aromatic Plants by Sona Skrovankova, Jiri Mlcek

“…The plant composition and the occurrence of biologically active compounds (BACs), such as phenolics (phenolic acids and flavonoids) that participate in their biological impacts and deactivate reactive oxygen species, are also described. This work thus provides a summary of this issue and an extension of information focused on factors that affect plant components’ presence and thus have an impact on the overall antioxidant potential (total polyphenol content TPC, antioxidant activity) of lesser-known plant representatives with antioxidant effect.…”
