Abstract: The study of antioxidants is pivotal importance in biomedicine as these molecules could be involved biological pathways associated with disease. identification new together the acquisition a deeper knowledge on their biology, lead to use compounds drugs for innovative treatments. Plants are an important reservoir phytodrugs that many cases can isolated good extraction yields directly from vegetal source and often endowed low toxicity profile. Georgia, country situated Black Sea coast Caucasus region at intersection Western Asia Eastern Europe, renowned its unique woodland habitats immense diversity due great variety climate zones landscapes. Many wild plants area used remedies number illnesses local traditional medicine. However, scientific sources natural molecular components still far exhaustive. Therefore, present work we reviewed literature some main Georgian medicinal found several species valuable hydrophilic hydrophobic antioxidants, high ROS-scavenging ability. analysis also demonstrated most extracts beneficial suppressing multiple diseases vitro. This review will provide information scientists looking develop secure plant-based pharmaceuticals well rationale using treatment range diseases.

Asymmetry plays a major role in biology at all scales. This can be seen the helix of DNA, fact that human heart is on left side, or most people use their right hand. A single protein such as Myosin 1D induce helical motion another molecule. causes cells, organs, and even entire bodies to twist domino effect, causing left–right behaviour. More generally, athlete movements are often asymmetric and, during physical rehabilitation after injury, asymmetry visually discernible. Herein, we review molecular basis movement asymmetries report available knowledge few therapeutics investigated so far meloxicam. From more rehabilitative perspective, it very important effective methods control process resolving injury-related through complex specialised exercises, measurements, gait analysis, which provide useful information effectiveness plans. If for each athlete, normal range known, individually treated evolution monitored over time. Appropriate measures should taken if outside this range. In addition, genetic, physiological, psychological factors relevant health considered assessing improving exercise asymmetry, also discuss review.
