This work examines authoritative coverage of the chemical, biological and clinical aspects of antioxidant molecules including particular antioxidant vitamins and other naturally occurring compounds such as melatonin. It discusses current avenues of antioxidant therapy, current research findings, and clinical trials on the protective role antioxidants play in preventing or minimizing free radical damage associated with cancer, cardiovascular disease, premature aging, cataracts, air pollution and strenuous exercise.
Part 1 Vitamin E: alpha-tocopherol; tocopherol-mediated peroxidation of lipoprotein lipids and its inhibition by co-antioxidants; biokinetics of vitamin E; efficacy of vitamin E in human health and disease. Part 2 Ascorbic acid: chemistry and biochemistry of ascorbic acid; the biology of ascorbic acid. Part 3 Coenzyme Q: coenzyme Q - its role in scavenging and generation of radicals in membranes; clinical aspects of coenzyme Q - improvement of cellular bioenergetics of antioxidant protection?. Part 4 Uric acid: uric acid - an example of antioxidant evaluation. Part 5 Carotenoids: carotenoids as scavengers of active oxygen species; cellular aspects of carotenoid actions; biological effects of carotenoids in humans. Part 6 Vitamin A: vitamin A as an antioxidant. Part 7 Flavonoids and polyphenols: flavonoids and polyphenols - chemistry and biology. Part 8 Herbal antioxidants: tea antioxidants and health; antioxidant actions and health implications of "gingko biloba" extract.
