Beer is a fermented beverage widely consumed worldwide with high nutritional and biological value due to its bioactive components. It has been described that both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer have several nutrients derived from their ingredients including vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and antioxidants that make beer a potential functional supplement. Some of these compounds possess redox, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties making the benefits of moderate beer consumption an attractive way to improve human health. Specifically, the hop cones used for beer brewing provide essential oils, bitter acids and flavonoids that are potent antioxidants and immune response modulators. This review focuses on the redox and anti-inflammatory properties of hop derivatives and summarizes the current knowledge of their neuroprotective effects.
啤酒是一种发酵饮料，由于其具有生物活性成分，因此具有很高的营养价值和生物学价值。已经描述了含酒精和无酒精的啤酒都具有几种营养素，这些营养素来自其成分，包括维生素、矿物质、蛋白质、碳水化合物和抗氧化剂，这使得啤酒成为一种潜在的功能性补充剂。这些化合物中的一些具有氧化还原、抗炎和抗癌特性，使适量饮用啤酒对改善人类健康的益处成为一种有吸引力的方式。具体来说，用于酿造啤酒的啤酒花球果提供了必需的油、苦味酸和类黄酮，这些都是有效的抗氧化剂和免疫反应调节剂。本综述重点介绍了啤酒花衍生物的氧化还原和抗炎特性，并总结了它们的神经保护作用的现有知识。
