Recombinant tumor necrosis factor alpha (rTNF-alpha)-induced release of endogenous fatty acids was examined in WEHI 164 clone 13 fibrosarcoma cells using a highly sensitive HPLC method. The initial rTNF-alpha-induced extracellular release of endogenous fatty acids was dominated by 20:4n;-6, 22:4n;-6, 24:4n;-6, and 18:1n;-9 showing relative rates of 2.9, 0.9, 1.1, and 1.0, respectively. Release ...

Purpose The aim of the current study is to report the advantage and disadvantage of total hip arthroplasty performed in direct anterior approach (DAA) by comparing it to the posterolateral approach (PLA). Materials and Methods Twenty-five hip arthroplasty done in DAA (12 total hip arthroplasty [THA] and 13 bipolar hemiarthroplasty [BHA]) were compared with the same number done in PLA (13 THA ...

The oxidative stability of refined sunflower oil supplemented with edible wild mushroom, Pleurotus porrigens crude extract, its n-butanol fraction (n-BUT, from liquid-liquid partitioning), and semi-purified sub-fraction (SF) III and SFIV, were tested under accelerated storage conditions compared with BHA and α-tocopherol, by measuring their peroxide value, p-anisidine value, thiobarbituric acid...

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), a hepatotoxic agent is widely used to study the toxic mechanisms in experimental animals. This study was carried out to establish the hepatoprotective measures of food preservative antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytolune (BHA, BHT) when mixed with food towards carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) intoxication (230 mg/ kg b wt/rat/day) in rat. Bioche...

The eciency of various commercial hindered phenol antioxidants was studied using di€erential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to determine the oxidation induction time (OIT) of antioxidant solutions in squalane. It was observed that a-tocopherol has an exceptionally high antioxidant activity. In fact, after normalisation for the molecular weight and functionality of each antioxidant, a-tocopherol wa...

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the follow-up results of bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) for more than 10 years in patients aged < 60 and analyze risk factors acetabular erosion after BHA. Methods retrospective included 114 who underwent BHA were followed-up at least years. The mean age was 54.1 years, duration 13.8 divided into two groups according presence erosion, preopera...

In conflict with a previous report, we find that phenolic inhibitors of lipid peroxidation (butylated hydroxytoluene [BHT] and butylated hydroxyanisole [BHA]) do not have significant inhibitory effect on galactosemic cataract formation. This is consistent with the lack of enhancement of stable products of lipid peroxidation (measured by the thiobarbituric acid assay) in the lenses of galactosem...

This study was aimed at evaluating the antioxidant activities of methanol extract of Thamnolia vermicularis. The antioxidant activity, reducing power, superoxide anion radical scavenging and free radical scavenging activities were studied. The antioxidant activity of the extract correlated with its concentration (0.2~2 mg/ml) in the reaction mixtures containing linoleic acid. Upto 67% of lipid ...

Antimicrobial and antioxidative effects of solvent extracts of defatted tea seed meal (DTSM) were investigated for possible utilization as food ingredients. Of the extracts from DTSM, the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction showed much stronger antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria, S. aureus, M. luteus and S. epidermidis, than did the control benzoic acid solution. It also exhib...
