Summary: Ginger is a popular culinary herb in the Eastern culture and plays a crucial role in the fight against oxidative stress-related diseases. Different drying methods and extraction solvents significantly affect the antioxidant activity of ginger, with sun-dried ginger extract demonstrating the highest antioxidant activity compared to fresh ginger extract.

Summary: The combined application of boron and biochar was found to be the best soil amendment strategy to improve the yield of wheat under cadmium-contaminated soil. Soil-applied boron and biochar triggered the activities of enzymatic antioxidants, increased proline content, reduced hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde content, and increased soluble sugars and total phenolic content.

Summary: This study investigated the impairment of lipid metabolism induced by lead (Pb) and its amelioration through plant-based therapeutic interventions. Pb-induced hepatotoxicity disrupted the normal levels of antioxidant enzymes, leading to lipid peroxidation. Additionally, Pb toxicity altered the regulation of hormones involved in the synthesis of HMG-CoA reductase, resulting in abnormal levels of serum cholesterol and other lipid molecules. The administration of resveratrol effectively treated Pb toxicity. Overall, this study demonstrated the therapeutic effect of resveratrol in improving Pb-induced lipid metabolism impairment by using vitamin C as a standard intervention.

Summary: Ginger extract has good antioxidative properties and high content of total flavonoid, tannins, alkaloids, and total phenolic components. Treatment with ginger extract protected against oxidative stress induced by arsenic, restored serum cholesterol, testosterone, LH, and sperm parameters to normal levels, and improved antioxidant activities in rats. Gene expression related to cholesterol transportation and testosterone synthesis was significantly improved in rats treated with ginger extract and arsenic compared to those treated with arsenic alone. Additionally, ginger extract treatment improved testis histopathological alterations, reduced arsenic content in testes, and enhanced sperm parameters.

Summary: This study systematically analyzed circRNAs in the liver of Ningxiang pigs and revealed their expression profiles at different developmental stages. The results showed that these circRNAs are involved in pathways related to lipid metabolism and signal transduction, and a regulatory network was constructed.

Summary: The environmental health and food safety issues potentially caused by the dinitroaniline herbicide pendimethalin (PM) are a global concern, with studies focusing on the toxicity response of ginger and tissue accumulation effects of PM. Results indicate that high concentrations of PM (PM4) significantly reduce ginger biomass, hinder photosynthetic efficiency due to stomatal limitation, alter chloroplast ultrastructure, and lead to accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Silicon application increases ginger productivity under PM4 by promoting root development and photosynthetic efficiency, while reducing ROS content through increased enzyme activity.

Summary: Ginger is a plant that contains multiple bioactive compounds, including gingerol and shogaol, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potentially neuroprotective effects. These compounds may improve symptoms and pathological conditions of neurodegenerative diseases by modulating cell death or cell survival signaling molecules.

Summary: The study examined the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of ginger and wild leek aqueous extracts in a carrageenan-induced acute inflammation model, along with measurements of inflammatory markers and oxidative stress variables. In silico molecular docking simulation revealed high affinities between the main components of ginger and wild leek with toll-like receptor 6 (TLR6). Histological examinations of paw edema showed that both extracts alleviated inflammation and oxidative stress, demonstrating anti-edematous, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. The results support the potential pharmacological use of these spices in managing inflammatory disorders and oxidative damage, with in silico assays effectively explaining the in vivo effects compared to indomethacin.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the kinetic approaches used in controlling the oxidative stability of edible oil-in-water emulsions, with a focus on the role of antioxidants and the kinetics of the inhibition reaction. The application of physical-organic chemistry methods, such as pseudophase models, allows for the investigation of antioxidant partitioning and the understanding of the role of interfaces, opening new possibilities for designing tailored antioxidants and optimizing their efficiency.

Summary: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate oxidative lipid degradation biomarkers and antioxidant defense system components in healthy women and their relationships with age, anthropometric measures, and lipid metabolism biomarkers. The findings suggest that these indices could be useful biomarkers in the research of aging, obesity, and atherosclerosis pathogenesis.

Summary: Epidemiological studies have shown that a high-fat diet is linked to the development of obesity. This study investigated the effects of lycopene on metabolic syndrome and found that it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on the liver and adipose tissue in rats fed a high-fat diet. Lycopene supplementation successfully reversed the changes induced by the high-fat diet and showed potential therapeutic effects for managing obesity and its associated pathologies.

Summary: This study found that the use of Free Oxygen Radical Test (FORT) and Free Oxygen Radical Defence (FORD) can reliably measure changes in redox homeostasis in athletes. Although there is a significant correlation between these point-of-care tests and laboratory measures pre- and post-exercise, the FORD test showed variable changes during exercise. Further research is needed to assess the ability of point-of-care tests in detecting redox perturbations induced by exercise.

Summary: Selenium is a beneficial element in plants, but its concentration between toxic and optimal levels is narrow and uneven. High concentrations of selenium cause oxidative stress and toxicity symptoms, affecting photosynthesis and growth, while low concentrations of selenium improve plant growth and photosynthetic traits.
