Effects of Cinnamic Acid and the Active Constituents of Cinnamon on Human Health and Diseases
Abstract: Free radicals can be generated continuously in the physiological process in the form of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). It occurs especially in the mitochondria, cytoplasm and cell membranes and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of several chronic disorders. Antioxidants can scavenge ROS and RNS and protect the cells against oxidative damage. Recently, natural antioxidants are the focus of interest because of their radical …
