Lipid auto-oxidation in milk is affected by a complex interplay of proand antioxidants. Several of these compounds are also important nutrients in the human diet and may have other physiological effects in the gastrointestinal tract and other tissues. Among antioxidative enzymes superoxide dismutase catalyses the dismutation of superoxide anion to hydrogen peroxide. The degradation of hydrogen ...

BACKGROUND/AIM Many studies support the hypothesis that oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenic process of a variety of diseases including hypertension. In humans, hypertension is also considered a state of oxidative stress that can contribute to the development of arteriosclerosis and other hypertension-induced organ damage. The aim of this study was to evaluate an influence of acute ph...

The protective action of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in cholestatic liver diseases may be mediated by choleresis, detoxification, and cytoprotection against oxidative stress. Nrf2, one transcription factor, serves as a cellular stress sensor and is a key regulator for hepatic induction of detoxifying enzymes, antioxidative stress genes, and numerous Mrp family members. We aimed to investigate w...

The treatment of diabetes and its complications is a key challenge for healthcare professionals. Accelerated atherosclerosis is associated with progressive diabetes, and it has been indicated that macrophages serve a crucial function in this process. Currently, the first-line treatment of diabetes is based on metformin, which is an inducer of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and belongs to t...

future climate changes are expected to increase risks of drought, which already represent the most common stress factor for stable barley (hordeum vulgare l.) production in iran. up to now, extensive research projects have been done to study effects of drought stress on the antioxidant enzyme activity. while there is a few works of such studies on the field condition. in order to study of water...

BACKGROUND Red-skin root disease has seriously decreased the quality and production of Panax ginseng (ginseng). METHODS To explore the disease's origin, comparative analysis was performed in different parts of the plant, particularly the epidermis, cortex, and/or fibrous roots of 5-yr-old healthy and diseased red-skin ginseng. The inorganic element composition, phenolic compound concentration...

The combination of microwave irradiation, ultrasonication treatment, and enzyme-assisted extraction approach was applied to study the efficiency antioxidative activity curcumin from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) using Response Surface Optimization (RSM). effects power treatment time irradiation types enzymes, amounts, interaction pectinase on were studied. RSM used select optimum conditions by im...

Electromagnetic field (EMF) causes fundamental alternations in biological systems. In this study, we studied the effects of EMF on physiological responses and secondary metabolites production SiO2 NP-treated Anthemis gilanica plants. The results indicated that improved plant growth by inducing chlorophyll carotenoid content, which led to enhanced biomass adventitious roots treatment activity an...

Over the past decade, oxidative stress was shown to be a key factor for various diseases. The term “antioxidant” also rapidly gained attention worldwide, viewed as beneficial in disease prevention. Resveratrol (RSV), natural polyphenol, is plant antitoxin formed response harmful environmental factors such infection and injury. This found grapes, strawberries, peanuts, or herbal medicines exhibi...
