“Curcumin counters these effects by upregulating antioxidant defenses in skeletal muscle, likely mediated by Nrf2 activation. Many plant-based dietary compounds induce Nrf2 activity, including sulforaphane, a compound derived from broccoli and broccoli sprouts.”

“Sulforaphane is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound Prominent features in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases are oxidative stress and inflammation. Oxidative stress is a natural repercussion of normal metabolic processes during oxidative phosphorylation (the generation of energy) in mitochondria or accompanying hypochlorite generation during immune activation.”

“Berberine and metformin differ markedly in their chemical structures and bioavailability, but they share many features in terms of their effects on chronic diseases. Furthermore, the two compounds work via many of the same mechanisms, such as activation of AMPK and various cellular energy and antioxidant pathways.”

“The findings suggest that targeted antioxidant supplementation could be useful when older adults with sarcopenia start structured resistance training, particularly if their baseline vitamin status is poor.”

“Quercetin - a flavonol found in apples, onions, and other edible plants that exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties across multiple organ systems. Resveratrol - a polyphenolic compound found in red grapes, peanuts, and other edible plants that demonstrates beneficial cardiovascular effects.”

“Creatine has demonstrated oxidant scavenging potential against ionized radicals and a dose-response relationship with total antioxidant scavenging capacity. It may also reduce mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production by supporting healthy mitochondrial function.”

“A new study suggests that seasonal variation in the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway regulates winter depression-like behavior in fish. Nrf2 (short for nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) is a cellular protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant and stress response proteins.”

“When healthy young men underwent 20 three-minute cryotherapy sessions, red blood cell concentrations of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione roughly doubled after ten sessions of cryotherapy but decreased slightly below baseline by the final session. Another antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase, increased by approximately 43 percent compared to baseline by the final session.”

“Zinc and DNA damage Zinc is a cofactor and structural component of numerous proteins involved in gene regulation, DNA repair, signal transduction, and antioxidant defense. It is an essential component of the antioxidant enzyme copper-zinc superoxide dismutase and can induce the expression of other antioxidant enzymes such as metallothioneins.”

“Nevertheless, sulforaphane's antioxidant-inducing capacity is well established, and consumption of sulforaphane-rich foods is associated with increased healthspan and lifespan. Broccoli sprouts are excellent sources of sulforaphane and are easy to grow at home.”
