Expected health benefits in brief: Better hormonal balance (GH, IGF-1) and reproductive function Improved sperm quality and ovarian function More lean mass and less fat
for the treatment of ischemic stroke based on bioinformatics and network pharmacology
Interestingly, a metabolomic study demonstrated the different roles of polyphenols in lipopolysaccharide-induced mouse embryonic fibroblast cells, with Theobroma cacao exerting mainly antioxidant properties and Lippia citriodora exerting anti-inflammatory effects mainly based on the reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine and MCP-1 production, it was confirmed that the anti-inflammatory function of polyphenols could not be attributed to one mechanism of action but rather the coordination between different pathways and mechanisms (104) ( Figure 4 )
Persistent smokers may, in that case, inhale more ROS than can be scavenged by the residual antioxidants, resulting in increased vulnerability to oxidative stress
