After a long period of observation, Mo Ye found that these active substances are different, some can help plants grow, and some can remove hidden dangers in the growth process. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For example, the part of the active substance that can be used as a biopesticide is a toxic substance formed by plants in a long-term process in order to cope with possible dangers, which can be used to defend against some natural enemies.

There is also a biologically active substance with health care effect, which is a substance that removes its own useless garbage, which can also be said to be an antioxidant active substance, which is the focus of Mo Xie's research, because this substance is extracted, it is the best natural antioxidant!

Finding high-efficiency, cheap and low-toxicity natural antioxidants from plants has become an inevitable trend in the development of antioxidants, which is entirely because natural antioxidants can effectively scavenge free radicals and protect the health of the body.

What are free radicals? This is a very active atom or molecule that lacks an electron, and this substance is a free radical, which exists in a wide space.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, scientists discovered this very active substance from chimneys and car exhaust.

Subsequent studies have shown that free radicals are produced by a complex and varied process, such as heating, combustion, light, contact between one substance and another, or any chemical reaction.

The most intimate way to get in touch with you in your daily life is when you cook a delicious dish, or when you light a cigarette and get drunk on the clouds, and when you use cosmetics to dress up, free radicals creep in.

There are many types of free radicals, and the space for the existence of free radicals is also ubiquitous, and they play different roles when combined with other elements with different structural characteristics.

There are also free radicals in the human body, which can help deliver life-sustaining energy, kill bacteria and parasites, and help eliminate toxins.

Controlled free radicals are beneficial to the human body, but when the amount of free radicals in the human body exceeds a certain amount and gets out of control, this free radical can bring harm to our lives.

Free radicals in life are innate, and since the ability to live has continued to this day after 3.5 billion years of vicissitudes, it shows that life itself has the ability to balance free radicals, or remove excess free radicals.

However, with the rapid development of human civilization, especially in the past 100 years, while science and technology have created huge productive forces for human beings, they have also brought a large number of by-products, including increasing free radicals.

The heavy use of chemical agents, the increase in vehicle exhaust and industrial exhaust gases, and the ...... of nuclear explosions

Human civilization activities are constantly destroying the ecological environment and creating more free radicals.

The sudden increase in free radicals has long exceeded the standard of normal balance between people and life, and has long overwhelmed human beings, and human health is facing unprecedented severe challenges.

Under normal circumstances, life is inseparable from free radical activities, our body moves from the inside to the outside all the time, and every moment is burning energy, and the porter responsible for transmitting energy is free radicals.

When these free radicals that help energy conversion are blocked in cells and cannot run around, they are harmless to life, but if the activity of free radicals is out of control and exceeds a certain amount, the normal order of life will be disrupted, and diseases may follow.

Therefore, free radicals are a double-edged sword, and it is necessary to understand free radicals and understand the effects of free radicals on the human body.

The most obvious manifestation of free radicals is to cause human aging, the presence of free radicals will form an inert waste that is difficult to eliminate, which accumulates in the cell to poison the cell and prevent the transmission of intracellular substances and information.

Among these waste products is lipofuscin, a substance that builds up in skin cells to form age spots; The accumulation of brain cells can cause memory loss or intellectual disability, and even lead to senile dementia; Accumulation in heart muscle cells, reduced heart function.

Collagen polymerization causes skin loss of tone and elasticity, increased wrinkles, and senile bone hyperplasia, which are essential features of aging.

Of course, the presence of a large number of free radicals, there are other harms, such as mitochondrial DNA mutations, induced apoptosis, reduced protein synthesis, and so on.

Modern studies have shown that the existence of free radicals has brought at least ten major harms to human beings, such as weakening the resistance of cells, making the body susceptible to bacterial and bacterial infections, producing cell-damaging chemicals, and forming carcinogens.

Therefore, the research of antioxidants can not only prevent cancer, but also delay human aging, if this thing appears in fantasy novels, it is a collection of Zhuyan Dan and Detoxification Pill.

Therefore, Mo Ye is now specializing in this item, mainly studying the properties of free radicals, and destroying proteins, destroying enzymes in the body, causing inflammation and aging, is Mo Ye's main concern.

After a long period of research, it has been shown that the process of free radicals from generation to decay is the process of electron transfer.

In living systems, the transfer of electrons is a basic movement, and oxygen has a strong ability to gain electrons, so many chemical reactions in living organisms are related to oxygen.

Mo Xie found that the free radicals that damage human health are almost all related to those more active oxygen-containing substances, and Mo Ye calls the free radicals combined with these substances as reactive oxygen radicals.

The damage of reactive oxygen species to the human body is actually an oxidation process, so to reduce the damage of free radicals, it is necessary to start with antioxidants.

Since free radicals not only exist in the human body, but also come from outside the human body, there are two ways to reduce the harm of free radicals: one is to use the endogenous free radical scavenging system to remove excess free radicals in the body; The second is to explore exogenous antioxidants - free radical scavengers to block the invasion of free radicals to the human body.

In fact, the human body itself has the ability to scavenge excess free radicals, which mainly relies on the endogenous free radical scavenging system, which includes some enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and some antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, reducing glutathione, carotene and selenium.

Enzymes can turn reactive oxygen radicals in the body into less active substances, thereby weakening their attack on the body.

Enzymes are confined to the cell, while antioxidants act on the membrane and outside the cell.

These substances are hidden deep in our body, and as long as they maintain their quantity and vitality, they will exert their ability to scavenge excess free radicals and keep the free radicals in our body balanced.

In order to reduce the harm of free radicals to the human body, in addition to relying on the free radical scavenging system in the body, it is also necessary to find and explore exogenous free radical scavengers, and use these substances as substitutes, so that they can combine with free radicals before they enter the human body, so as to block the attack of external free radicals and protect the human body from harm.

In nature, there is a wide range of antioxidants that can act on free radicals, and at present, they have gradually developed from simple synthetic antioxidants and food oxidants to natural antioxidants and free radical scavengers in the body.

Therefore, the requirements for antioxidants are getting higher and higher, and a variety of widely used synthetic antioxidants, due to their potential toxicity and carcinogenic effects, are gradually rejected by people, so looking for natural, efficient and low-toxicity antioxidants from plants has become an inevitable trend in the development of antioxidants, and looking for free radical eliminators in the body from natural plants will also be the development trend of modern medicine and health care industry.

Many valuable natural antioxidants have been discovered at home and abroad, and Chinese scientists are also at the forefront of the world in this research.

Therefore, Mo Ye's progress is so smooth, it is also stained with the light of his predecessors, with the experience of his predecessors, Mo Ye can avoid a lot of detours, and he can also conduct targeted research.

Now Mo Xie doesn't have to slowly grope without a clue, he only needs to study some unique edible and medicinal plants in a targeted manner, and he can find out qualified antioxidant substances from them.

For example, some specific medicinal plants contain a large number of phenolic substances, which are characterized by having electrons that are easily taken away by free radicals, and after they lose electrons, they will become a stable substance that is not harmful to people.

Judging from the current research, most of the natural plant antioxidants are polyphenols, among which tea polyphenols, grape seed extract, rosemary extract, etc. are widely used.

And these substances, although Mo Ye does not have a good extraction method for a while, but their effects, Mo Ye can clearly observe, this is the benefit of the super biological detector.

And because he saw it too clearly, Mo Ye was not very satisfied with those extracts, although the effect was not small, but there was no obvious curative effect.

For example, rosemary, rosemary is a precious natural spice plant, the growing season will emit a fragrant smell, has the effect of refreshing the heart, its stems, leaves and flowers have a pleasant fragrance, flowers and twigs extract aromatic oil, from the flowers and leaves of rosemary can extract antioxidants and rosemary essential oil with excellent antioxidant properties.

Rosemary antioxidant is widely used in medicine, fried food, oil-rich food and various types of oil preservation and quality; Rosemary flavor is used in spices, air fresheners, ant repellents, and daily chemical industries such as sterilization and insecticide.

The effect is very extensive, but this is not what Mo Ye needs, what Mo Ye wants is the most essential part, so it is more difficult to extract, such as essence, the most famous lotion is made of rosemary, and the fragrance added to drinks, skin oils, hair growth tonics, and laundry balms is not what Mo Xie cares about.

Studying these things is really a thousand miles away, so when he really walked into the biological sciences, Mo Xie found that even if he was a graduate student in biology, he was just getting started, which is really not an exaggeration, because the knowledge involved in it is too complicated.
