Findings and extraction notes
- The review proposes interactions with histones or nucleic acids and discusses MAPK/ERK, apoptotic, antioxidant, and transcriptional pathways.
Limitations
- This is a narrative mechanistic review, not a systematic evidence synthesis or controlled trial.
- Several proposed mechanisms remain hypotheses requiring independent experimental validation.
