Protective effect of plant compounds in pesticides toxicity.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The relationship between pesticide exposure and the occurrence of many chronic diseases, including cancer, is confirmed by literature data.

Methods

In this review, through the analysis of more than 70 papers, we explore an increase in oxidative stress level caused by exposure to environmental pollutants and the protective effects of plant-origin antioxidants.

Results and discussion

One of the molecular mechanisms, by which pesticides affect living organisms is the induction of oxidative stress. However, recently many plant-based dietary ingredients with antioxidant properties have been considered as a chemopreventive substances due to their ability to remove free radicals. Such a food component must meet several conditions: eliminate free radicals, be eas
