Chapter 3: Amaranth: A reservoir of antioxidant-based phytonutrient for combating degenerative diseases --
Introduction --
Amaranth in the treatment of degenerative diseases: Some evidences
Natural products in the plant and animal kingdom offer a huge diversity of chemical structures that are the result of biosynthetic processes that have been modulated over the millennia through genetic effects. With the rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and accompanying advances in high-throughput screening techniques, it has become possible to isolate and then determine the structures and biological activity of natural products rapidly, thus opening up exciting opportunities in the field of new drug development to the pharmaceutical industry
