Oxidative stress strongly contributes to the progression of numerous chronic diseases and is also considered an important factor for triggering chronic inflammation through the activation of numerous transcription factors (Zhang & Tsao, 2016). It is also related to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) during inflammatory processes (Wang et al., 2014).Although various synthetic substances can help to minimize oxidative stress and are used to treat inflammation-associated chronic diseases, all have some side effects (Islam et al., 2016). These side effects mainly occur in the gastrointestinal tract and range from dyspepsia to serious life-threatening conditions, such as erosions, hemorrhages, perforations, and gastric and duodenal ulcers (Repetto & Llesuy, 2002).Several studies have shown that a diet rich in compounds with high antioxidant activity can potentially alleviate many chronic degenerative diseases triggered by oxidative stress (Barbagallo et al., 2015;Liguori et al., 2018;Pisoschi & Pop, 2015). Fruit is noted for its quality and quantity of antioxidant compounds, such as carotenoids, phenolic compounds, and vitamins C and E, which play an important role in controlling ROS production and increasing its elimination under non-stress conditions, thereby protecting cells
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
