2. Arthritogenecity of RNA and its degradation products
Sammanfattning : Viral infections often lead to arthralgias and overt arthritic states. Expression of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a common feature of all viruses during their replication and it has been suggested that it is able to induce production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, e.g., interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha).

4. Antioxidant Capacity in Fruit and Vegetables -Cultivar Variation - Storage Conditions - Human Antioxidant Status
Sammanfattning : The health-promoting effects of fruits and vegetables have been extensively discussed during the past decade since epidemiologic studies have shown relations between increased intake of fruit and vegetables and decreased incidences of several chronic diseases. It has been suggested that antioxidants are a main contributors to the observed effects, for example by acting as scavengers of free radicals. LÄS MER
