Antioxidants in dermatology
The skin cells continuously produce, through cellular respiration, metabolic processes or under external aggressions, highly reactive molecules oxidation products, generally called free radicals. These molecules are immediately neutralized by enzymatic and non-enzymatic systems in a physiological and dynamic balance. In situations where this balance is broken, various cellular structures, such …

Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use in Dermatology in the United States
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has an increasing presence in dermatology. Complementary therapies have been studied in many skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Objectives: This study sought to assess oral CAM use in dermatology relative to medicine as a whole in the United States, using the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey

Potential applications of topical oxygen therapy in dermatology
Topical oxygen therapy is a cosmetic procedure that is becoming more and more popular in dermatology; however, only a few articles on this topic are present in the literature. In this work we report our group experience with oxygen therapy as an adjuvant treatment in various dermatological conditions.

Pre-eclampsia: pathogenesis, novel diagnostics and therapies
Pre-eclampsia is a complication of pregnancy that is associated with substantial maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The disease presents with new-onset hypertension and often proteinuria in the mother, which can progress to multi-organ dysfunction, including hepatic, renal and cerebral disease, if the fetus and placenta are not delivered. Maternal endothelial dysfunction due to circula…

Lycopene and the Lung
The human lung, due to the oxidative and ozone stress to which it is exposed, is particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage. Concentrations of dietary antioxidants in the lung epithelial lining and lining fluids may provide protection against oxidative damage. A randomized clinical trial was conducted to study the effects of supplemental, carotenoid-rich vegetable juice (V-8)on lung function m…

The Antioxidant Network and Healthy Aging
As we digest food, fight infections, and detoxify pollutants, metabolic processes generate free radicals. Most are neutralized by antioxidant enzymes, but some, like sparks from a fire, escape, and can injure our cells and the DNA they contain. Antioxidants quench these escaped free radicals, slowing the rate of accumulation of oxidative damage, and may thereby slow the rate of aging.

Tomato lycopene and its role in human health and chronic diseases
LYCOPENE IS A CAROTENOID THAT IS PRESENT IN TOMATOES, processed tomato products and other fruits. It is one of the most potent antioxidants among dietary carotenoids. Dietary intake of tomatoes and tomato products containing lycopene has been shown to be associated with a decreased risk of chronic diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Serum and tissue lycopene levels have been f…
