From reactive species to disease development: Effect of oxidants and antioxidants on the cellular biomarkers
(2020) 48:W50914
Previous studies in experimental animals have suggested that high corticosterone levels are associated with low estradiol and have a negative effect on mood,15 low estrogen levels leading to amenorrhea and irregular menstruation.16 Young women and menopausal women who experience decreased estrogen are more at risk for autoimmune disease.17 The provision of ginger containing antioxidants can reduce oxidation activity,18 and the ethanol content of ginger increases enzymatic antioxidant activity.19 Ginger can also replace the role of mefenamic acid (NSAIDs) in reducing menstrual pain in women.20 Honey with antioxidant content such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, enzymes, vitamins (A, E, C),21 and a minor mineral (copper and iron)22 can prevent cancer, heart disease, infectious diseases, decreased neurological function, inflammation, and aging.21 Honey administration to 2 months mice affects brain development and memory and reduces these mice's anxiety level.23 Administration of Tualang honey in induced stress mice can reduce ACTH and corticosterone levels, reduce MDA, and increase antioxidant activity in the brain.20 It takes innovations to helps humans reduce stress in the preconception phase to effort a healthy reproduction
