Modulation of inflammation and oxidative stress in Helicobacter pylori infection by bioactive compounds from food components

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the most successful human pathogens affecting approximately 50% of the world’s population. Although most people the gastric colonization by H. pylori occurs asymptomatically, long-term infection with the pathogen can cause a wide range of clinical manifestations that can progress from gastritis to gastric cancer. Many pathological damages associated with H. pylori infection are considered to be due to excessive oxidative damage that triggers an exacerbated immune response causing gastric mucosal injury. This chapter describes how different bioactive compounds present in foods can be powerful tools in modulating the oxidative and inflammatory processes associated with H. pylori infection by helping to restore the symbiotic balance between the pathogen and the host.
