Antioxidant properties of catechins and proanthocyanidins: effect of polymerisation, galloylation and glycosylation.

abstract：:Nerve growth factor (NGF) is one of the several structurally related proteins, named neurotrophins (NTs), that regulate neuronal survival, development, function, and plasticity. Moreover, NGF is an important activator of antioxidant mechanisms. These NGF functions are mediated by tropomyosin-related kinase receptor A ...

abstract：:In cells, NADH and NADPH are mainly bound to dehydrogenases such as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). In cell-free systems, the binary LDH-NADH complex has been demonstrated to produce reactive oxygen species via a chain oxidation of NADH initiated and propagated by superoxide. We studied here whether this chain radical re...
