Is thymoquinone an antioxidant?
Background Thymoquinone is one of the active ingredients of black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) essential oil possessing antiinflammatory, antineoplastic, neuroand hepatoprotective properties. Some of these properties were attributed to an antioxidant activity of thymoquinone, which seems to be unlikely from its structure. Because the lipophilic thymoquinone exhibits a structural similarity with th...
متن کاملIs ß-carotene an antioxidant?
ß -carotene is a human nutrient found in plants or animals. It is also can be synthesized chemically. It is lipid-soluble, and is yellow, orange or red in color. ß-Carotene can be cleaved into vitamin A in vivo. The most abundant form of ß-carotene in human serum is trans isomer; cis isomers such as 9-cis ß-carotene, 13-cis ß-carotene, and 15-cis ß-carotene are only present in trace amounts. ß-...
متن کاملWhen is an object not an object?
This paper describes an approach to designing and building Tcl extensions that can be flexibly and dynamically changed using either Tcl or C. In particular, extensions having an object-based interface are considered. This extension approach seeks to avoid the “chasm” found in migrating code from Tcl to C as it matures by freely mixing Tcl and C to create an object’s subcommands. The approach di...
متن کاملApocynin Is Not an Inhibitor of Vascular Reduced Nicotinamide-Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidases But an Antioxidant
A large body of literature suggest that vascular reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases are important sources of reactive oxygen species. Many studies, however, relied on data obtained with the inhibitor apocynin (4 -hydroxy-3 methoxyacetophenone). Because the mode of action of apocynin, however, is elusive, we determined its mechanism of inhibition on vascular NAD...
متن کاملApocynin is not an inhibitor of vascular NADPH oxidases but an antioxidant.
A large body of literature suggest that vascular reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases are important sources of reactive oxygen species. Many studies, however, relied on data obtained with the inhibitor apocynin (4'-hydroxy-3'methoxyacetophenone). Because the mode of action of apocynin, however, is elusive, we determined its mechanism of inhibition on vascular NAD...
