Oxidative stress, a major contributor to chronic intestinal inflammation, is the result of an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body’s antioxidant defenses. This systematic review explores the role of microbial-derived antioxidants in alleviating IBD. Among the main findings are certain compounds, such as exopolysaccharides (EPS) and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which have demonstrated their ability to neutralize ROS and strengthen the integrity of the intestinal barrier, thereby attenuating inflammatory responses. These antioxidants offer the dual benefit of mitigating oxidative stress and rebalancing the gut microbiota, which is often disrupted in IBD. Evidence from preclinical and clinical studies provides a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the effects of these microbial antioxidants. Conventional treatments for IBD primarily focus on immune modulation. In this context, the integration of microbial-derived antioxidants could offer a complementary approach by addressing both oxidative damage and gut dysbiosis. Further research and clinical trials are essential to establish standardized treatment guidelines and clarify the long-term efficacy of these promising therapeutic agents.}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía (CTS 164)}, organization = {Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Spain)}, organization = {Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (Spain)}, organization = {Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER)}, organization = {European Union PI18/00826, PY20-01157, PI20/01447, B-CTS-664-UGR20, PI19/01058, PI24/02089, JDC2022-049478-I, CD23/00117, IFI21/00030}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Dysbiosis}, keywords = {Gut}, keywords = {Inflammation}, keywords = {Microbial-derived antioxidants}, keywords = {Microbiome}, title = {Microbial-Derived Antioxidants in Intestinal Inflammation: A Systematic Review of Their Therapeutic Potential}, doi = {10.3390/antiox14030321}, author = {García Mansilla, María José and Rodríguez Sojo, María Jesús and Roxana Lista, Andrea and Ayala Mosqueda, Ciskey Vanessa and Ruiz Malagón, Antonio Jesús and Ho Plagaro, Ailec and Gálvez Peralta, Julio Juan and Rodríguez Nogales, Alba and Rodríguez Sánchez, María José}, }
