Beneficial Role of Phytochemicals on Oxidative Stress and Age-Related Diseases

Figure 4

Number of published studies regarding plant-derived nutraceuticals and age-related skin diseases. In the first column, within brackets, the number of PubMed abstracts containing in the Title field the diseases name and the word “age” is reported. In several diseases a strong relation with the age is evident (namely, in allergy, basal cell carcinoma, chickenpox, dermatitis, eczema, lupus, measles, melanoma, psoriasis, squamous cell carcinoma, and oxidative stress). In the other columns, the number of PubMed abstracts containing the diseases name and the phytochemical name in All field is reported. Co-occurrence > 10 is highlighted in bold and gray background. The raw named Oxidative stress reports the number of studies indexed on PubMed containing experimental data which correlate each plant-derived nutraceutical with an “oxidative stress” (as present in All field of database).
