Ferric reducing/antioxidant power assay: direct measure of total antioxidant activity of biological fluids and modified version for simultaneous measurement of total antioxidant power and ascorbic acid concentration
Iris F.F. Benzie,J. J. Strain +1 more
TL;DR: The ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) assay is a recently developed, direct test of “total antioxidant power” that facilitates experimental and clinical studies investigating the relationship among antioxidant status, dietary habits, and risk of disease.

Phenolics and polyphenolics in foods, beverages and spices: Antioxidant activity and health effects – A review
TL;DR: A review of phenolic and polyphenolic compounds can be found in this article, which summarizes both the synthetic and natural phenolic antioxidants, emphasizing their mode of action, health effects, degradation products and toxicology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tannins and Human Health: A Review
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to summarize and analyze the vast and sometimes conflicting literature on tannins and to provide as accurately as possible the needed information for assessment of the overall effects of tannin effects on human health.

Antibacterial activity of plant extracts and phytochemicals on antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Gislene G. F. Nascimento,Juliana Locatelli,Paulo Chanel Deodato de Freitas,Giuliana L. Silva +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the antimicrobial activity of plant extracts and phytochemicals was evaluated with antibiotic susceptible and resistant microorganisms, and the possible synergistic effects when associated with antibiotics were studied.

Seasonal changes in oak leaf tannins and nutrients as a cause of spring feeding by winter moth caterpillars
Paul Feeny,Paul Feeny +1 more
TL;DR: The content of oak leaf tannins, which inhibit the growth of winter moth larvae, increases during the summer and may render leaves less suitable for insect growth by further reducing the availability of nitrogen and perhaps also by influencing leaf palatability.

Evidence for a specific uptake system for iron phytosiderophores in roots of grasses.
Volker Römheld,Horst Marschner +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate the existence of a specific uptake system for Fe(III)phytosiderophores in roots of barley and all other graminaceous species and two strategies are evident for the acquisition of iron by plants under iron deficiency.

Iron-binding Proteins in Milk and Resistance to Escherichia coli Infection in Infants
TL;DR: The bacteriostatic properties of milk were abolished if the iron-binding proteins were saturated with iron, and this effect was also abolished by saturating the lactoferrin with iron.
Journal Article
Iron-binding proteins in milk and resistance to Escherichia coli infection in infants.
TL;DR: It seems that iron-binding proteins in milk may play an important part in resistance to infantile enteritis caused by E. coli.
