Background: Epidemiological studies have suggested that a regular intake of flavonoids is
beneficial for cellular homeostasis and in the prevention of the transformation of normal cells …

Background: We studied in vitro and vivo antioxidant and prooxidant abilities of aqueous
extracts from Rosa canina L., Rhodiola rosea L., Hypericum perforatum L., and Gentiana …

Several plant-derived compounds have been screened by antioxidant assays, but many of
these results are questionable, since they do not evaluate the pharmacologic parameters. In …

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae PEP4 gene encodes vacuolar endopeptidase
proteinase A (Pep4p), which is a homolog of the human CTSD gene that encodes cathepsin …

Background: Oxidative stress, associated with diseases and aging, underscores the
therapeutic potential of natural antioxidants. Flavonoids, known for scavenging free radicals …

The budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is an efficient model for studying oxidative
stress, programmed cell death and aging. The present study was carried out to investigate …

Black glutinous rice (BGR) naturally contains phenolic compounds in free and conjugated
form or bound to the structural matrix, which may affect its bioactivity. The degradation of the …

Background: The article considers the phenolic hop compounds' effect on the quality
indicators of finished beer. The topic under consideration is relevant since it touches on the …

We investigated the protective effect of a natural polyphenol, magnolol, on Saccharomyces
cerevisiae cells under oxidative stress, and during aging. Our results showed the sensitivity …

Inoculation modes are known to affect yeast behavior. Here, we characterized the impact of
ADY and pre-culturing on the composition of the resulting wine, fermented by four …
