    Abstract : Contact allergy to fragrance compounds is an increasing problem in the western countries today. R-Limonene is one of the most common fragrance compounds; it is used in hygiene products and cosmetics as well as in industrial products such as hand cleansers and degreasers. READ MORE

  6. 14. Mammalian thioredoxin reductase 1 in antioxidant defense, regulation of adipocyte differentiation and as an anticancer drug target

    Author : Xiaoxiao Peng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are oxygen containing reactive molecules generated as by-products of cellular metabolism. At physiological concentrations, ROS acts as secondary messengers in cellular signaling transduction, but excessive amounts of ROS result in oxidative stress and cellular damage. READ MORE

  7. 15. Antioxidants from diet and supplements in relation to cardiovascular disease

    Author : Susanne Rautiainen Lagerström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Many epidemiological studies have reported an inverse association between fruit and vegetable consumption and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Because fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants they were hypothesized to be one the factors responsible for the protective mechanisms. READ MORE
