Journal ArticleDOI
Flavonoids as anti-inflammatory agents: implications in cancer and cardiovascular disease.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the known mechanisms involved in the anti-inflammatory activity of flavonoids and the implications of these effects on the protection against cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant properties of phenolic compounds occurring in edible mushrooms
Irene Palacios,Miguel Lozano,Carlos Moro,M. D’Arrigo,Mauricio A. Rostagno,José Alfredo Martínez,Ana García-Lafuente,Eva Guillamón,Ana Villares +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the phenolic and flavonoid contents of eight types of edible mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus, Boletus edulis, Calocybe gambosa, Cantharellus cibarius, Craterellus cornucopioides, Hygrophorus marzuolus, Lactarius deliciosus and Pleurotus ostreatus ) by means of high performance liquid chromatography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Edible mushrooms: role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
Eva Guillamón,Ana García-Lafuente,Miguel Lozano,M. D’Arrigo,Mauricio A. Rostagno,Ana Villares,José Alfredo Martínez +6 more
TL;DR: The aims of this review are to report putative positive effects of mushrooms consumption on cardiovascular diseases risk markers and to identify some putative bioactive compounds involved in these effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Two AA14 LPMO members from the white-rot fungus Pycnoporus coccineus substantially increase the efficiency of wood saccharification through oxidative cleavage of highly refractory xylan-coated cellulose fibers and offers an innovative solution for improving enzyme cocktails for biorefinery applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases disrupt the cellulose fibers structure
Ana Villares,Céline Moreau,Chloé Bennati-Granier,Sona Garajova,Loïc Foucat,Xavier Falourd,Bodo Saake,Jean-Guy Berrin,Bernard Cathala +8 more
TL;DR: This work provides the first evidence of the direct oxidative action of LPMOs with the mechanical weakening of the cellulose ultrastructure.
