Cellular senescence is an irreversible state of cell cycle arrest occurring in response to stressful stimuli, such as telomere attrition, DNA damage, reactive oxygen species, and oncogenic proteins. Although beneficial protective several physiological processes, excessive senescent burden has been involved various pathological conditions including aging, tissue dysfunction chronic diseases. Oxidative stress (OS) can drive due a loss balance between pro-oxidant stimuli antioxidant defences. Therefore, the identification characterization compounds capable preventing or counteracting phenotype major interest. However, despite considerable number studies, comprehensive overview main molecules OS-induced still lacking. Here, besides brief description molecular mechanisms implicated OS-mediated we review discuss role enzymes, mitochondria-targeting compounds, vitamins, carotenoids, organosulfur nitrogen non-protein molecules, minerals, flavonoids, non-flavonoids with anti-aging potential, therefore offering insights into innovative lifespan-extending approaches.

The aging of mammals is accompanied by the progressive atrophy tissues and organs accumulation random damage to macromolecular DNA, protein, lipids. Flavonoids have excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective effects. Recent studies shown that flavonoids can delay prolong a healthy lifespan eliminating senescent cells, inhibiting senescence-related secretion phenotypes (SASPs), maintaining metabolic homeostasis. However, only few systematic described in clinical treatment for anti-aging, which needs be explored further. This review first highlights association between damage. Then, we discuss advances role flavonoid molecules prolonging health span organisms. study may provide crucial information drug design developmental applications based on flavonoids.

In recent years, research on the interaction between flavonoids and intestinal microbes have prompted a rash of food science, nutriology biomedicine, complying with future trends. The gut microbiota plays an essential role in maintenance homeostasis human health, but once flora dysregulation occurs, it may contribute to various diseases. Flavonoids shown variety physiological activities, are metabolized or biotransformed by microbiota, thereby producing new metabolites that promote health modulating composition structure flora.

Diets high in bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols, have been used to mitigate metabolic syndrome (MetS). Polyphenols are a large group of naturally occurring classified into two main classes: non-flavonoids and flavonoids. Flavonoids distributed foods, fruits, vegetables, tea, red wine, cocoa. Studies already demonstrated the benefits flavonoids on cardiovascular nervous systems, well cancer cells. The present review summarizes results clinical studies that evaluated effects components MetS associated complications when offered supplements over long term. show can significantly modulate several parameters, lipid profile, blood pressure, glucose.
