Research themes
In vivo studies of the possible toxicological (co-mutagenesis, co-carcinogenesis) or beneficial (chemoprevention) effects associated with the modulation of antioxidant enzymes and drug metabolism by xenobiotics in the animal model, with particular interest in the toxic effects associated with chronic intake of essential nutrients, micro and macro elements as food supplements.
Development and protective role of new antioxidant molecules in chronic degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes and EAE.
Study of the toxicological effects associated with the use of electronic devices for the release of nicotine (DERN), with particular interest in the oxidative damage to macromolecules and the modification of the expression of some proteins that play a fundamental role in chronic obstructive diseases and in tumors progression.
