Nutraceuticals and foods of interestHer research focuses mainly on the study of how natural compounds (extracts and pure molecules) exert, at molecular level, a protective effect against degenerative diseases. She has studied the chemopreventive and adjuvant activity of selected phytochemicals, paying attention to the molecular mechanisms triggered. She is also interested in the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of polyphenols and food extracts in the prevention of diseases associated with aging and neurodegeneration polyphenols, food extracts (vegetables and beverages) Fields of application nutraceuticals, functional foods, pharmacology Facilities and equipments fully equipped cell biology, biochemistry and molecular laboratories |
