objective: alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of neurodegenerative disorder. it has been suggested that oxidative stress can be one of the pathological mechanisms of this disease. carnosic acid (ca) is an effective antioxidant substance and recent studies have shown that its electrophilic compounds play a role in reversing oxidative stress. thus we tried to find out whether ca administ...

introduction: electromagnetic fields (emfs) can influence the biological system by the formation of free radicals in cells. the emfs are able to deteriorate defense system against free radicals that leads to oxidative stress (os). lipid peroxidation process (lpo) is an index of oxidative stress, and the malandialdehyde (mda) is the final product of lpo. vitamin e is the most important antioxida...

It is now widely accepted that calcium (Ca) deficiency is linked to potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber disorders and improved tuber health is expected through increased Ca availability. The purpose of this study was to optimize the Ca concentration in Murashige-Skoog (MS) basal medium for microtuber production and determine microtuber mineral composition, especially Ca content. The response of...
