A Comprehensive Review of the Pharmacological Importance of Dietary Flavonoids as Hepatoprotective Agents
(HINDAWI, 2023-04-21) Mazumder, Avijit; Sharma, Ashwani; Azad, Md. A. K.
The liver is a crucial organ that is involved in various kinds of metabolic activity and a very stable accessory gland for the digestive system. Long-term or persistent inflammation and oxidative stress due to any reasons have a substantial impact on the beginning and continuation of chronic diseases such as hepatocellular carcinoma, liver cirrhosis, liver fibrosis, and other hepatic conditions. There are many sources which can help the liver to be healthy and enhance its metabolic potential of the liver. Since the diet is rich origin of bioactive along with antioxidant chemicals including flavonoids and polyphenols, it can control different stages of inflammation and hepatic diseases. Numerous food sources, notably vegetables, nuts, fruits, cereals, beverages, and herbal medicinal plants, are rich in bioactive chemicals called flavonoids and their derivatives like Flavones, Anthocyanins, Iso-flavonoid, Flavanones, Flavanols, and Flavan-3-ols. Most recently occurred research on flavonoids has demonstrated that they can regulate hepatoprotective properties. This is because they are essential parts of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products due to their hepatoprotective, antioxidative, and immune-modulating characteristics. However, the characteristics of their hepatoprotective impact remain unclear. The purpose of this comprehensive review is to survey the flavonoid structure and enriched sources for their hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects concerning liver toxicity or injury.
A Systematic Review on Removal Efficiency of Heavy Metals from Yamuna Water
(Scopus, 2024) Sharma, Parul; Agarwal, Chhaya; Mishra, Rashmi; Mazumder, Avijit; Singh, Saurabh; Sharma, Ashwani; Azad, A. K.
Yamuna River fulfils the water needs of various regions of North India. With the increasing level of pollution, the Yamuna River is declared as one of the polluted rivers in India. Numerous researches have reported the heavy metal presence in Yamuna River. Hence, we have focused our review towards analysing the heavy metals present in Yamuna River Basin and their concentration level during pre-pandemic and post-pandemic period. Delhi being the main polluter city causes the cloud formation (froth) and as a consequence a health risk among children and adults. Mathura and Agra are equally responsible in polluting the Yamuna River. Further, we have also included the role of microalgae as a promising solution for heavy metal removal. Altogether, this review will help the future researchers towards identifying potential approaches for water remediation.
