OXIDATIVE STRESS–INDUCED INTERNAL ORGAN DYSFUNCTION AND ITS CORRECTION USING CENTAUREA IBERICA EXTRACT
Keywords:
Oxidative stress, internal organs, antioxidant activity, lipid peroxidation, Centaurea iberica, medicinal plantsAbstract
Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the development of dysfunctions in internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, heart, and brain. Excessive formation of reactive oxygen species disrupts cellular redox balance, leading to lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and DNA damage. Recent experimental studies highlight the potential of medicinal plant extracts as natural antioxidants. This article analyzes the mechanisms of oxidative stress–induced internal organ dysfunction and evaluates the corrective effects of Centaurea iberica extract based on experimental and scientific data. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective properties of Centaurea iberica are discussed with reference to biochemical and morphological indicators.
