We live in an aerobic environment so all organisms stay continuously and inevitably exposed to reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen species, which could react with lipid from membranes, intracellular proteins and DNA, damaging these structures and therefore are related to the genesis of a number of chronic diseases, such as cancer. On the other hand, many chronic parasitic diseases such as sch…
The hormonal influence on cell growth has already been established. Many natural products could influence this process such as phytoestrogens and aromatase inhibtors. Epidemiologic studies suggested that consume of these kind of substances was positively correlated with chronic disease prevention, increasing the research of new treatments for hormone-related health problems.In this contex…
