Clinical and epidemiological studies, which have examined the relationship between antioxidants and risk of breast cancer recurrence or mortality are limited in number, despite the protective associations observed with breast cancer incidence. A meta-analysis of six previous stu…
A relatively new instrument known as a Sperm Quality Analyzer ® (SQA) offers a rapid assessment of sperm quality and quantity by providing a sperm quality index (SQI). The SQA measures the intensity of sperm activity and motile concentration by determining the number and amplitu…
Aims. With the help of monitoring redox homeostasis in animal experiments, the possible beneficial effects of natural antioxidants of plant origin were investigated. Cichorium intybus (L.) extract, juice of black radish root (Raphanus sativus L. var niger ) and commercially avai…

Tomatoes are widely produced and consumed due to their nutritional content and versatility. However, the tomato is a soft fruit liable to damage and flavour deterioration. Hence, the main challenge for the tomato producing industry is to prevent the high loss incurred during har…
Homocysteine (Hcy) has been identified as a primary risk factor for atherosclerosis as it induces endothelial cell (EC) activation/dysfunction and thus potentially initiating atherosclerotic plaque formation. There is accumulating evidence indicating a key role for oxidative str…
Background: Increasing evidence indicates that oxidative injury exists in schizophrenia. Although it may not be the main cause, oxidative damage has been suggested to contribute to the pathophysiology and may account for deteriorating course and poor outcome in schizophrenia. Th…
Fungal contaminated buildings and related adverse human health implications have long been a topical issue throughout the world and concern is mounting with regards to the presence of more toxigenic fungi found in buildings and the associated health risks. These risks are compou…
