OBJECTIVES Cadmium (Cd) is ubiquitous in the environment and exposure through food and water as well as occupational sources can contribute to a well-defined spectrum of disease. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the role of hesperetin (Hp) in alleviating the Cd induced biochemical changes in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS During the experiment, male Wistar rats were injected with Cd ...

220mg of butylated hydroxytoluene/kg or l00mg of phenobarbitonelkg. Adrenalectomy diminished the initial effect of coumarin on microsomal amino acid incorporation in vitro. However, the coumarin effect on microsomal protein synthesis could not be eliminated by the removal of either the pituitary or thyroid gland. Although the doses of coumarin used in these experiments are toxic and expected to...

NADPH-dependent oxygen utilization by liver microsomal fractions was stimulated by the addition of increasing concentrations of butylated hydroxyanisole concomitant with the inhibition of benzphetamine N-demethylase activity. The apparent conversion of monooxygenase activity to an oxidase-like activity in the presence of the antioxidant was correlated with the partial recovery of the reducing e...

BACKGROUND Great attention has been paid to the antioxidants present in farmed fish feeds, with the replacement of synthetic antioxidants by natural ones being a main objective. In the present study, Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) was fed a conventional diet that was enriched with different kinds of antioxidants: synthetic antioxidants (butylated-hydroxy toluene and ethoxyquin; diet I), a t...

Rhizophora apiculata (R. apiculata) contains an abundance of biologically active compounds due its special salt-tolerant living surroundings. In this study, the total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of various extract and fractions of stem of R. apiculata were investigated. Results indicated that butanol fraction possesses the highest total phenolic content (181.84 mg/g GAE/g dry ex...

Food preservatives play important role in today's food supplies that are used to prolong the self-life of products by protecting them from deterioration caused by micro-organisms. In this study, investigations were carried out to study the impacts of food preservatives like butylated hydroxytoluene, butylated hydroxyanisole, sorbic acid, propyl gallate and sodium nitrate. The effects of these p...

poly(p-n-chlorostyrenesulphonamide) synthesized via direct chlorination of poly[(p-styrene) sulphonamide], can be used for selective chlorination of aromatic compounds. aromatic rings of the anisole, p-xylene, ethylbenzene and toluene are chlorinated with good yields. the polymer can be recovery, rechlorinated and reused several times.

In the title compound, C(18)H(22)N(4)O(2), the piperizine ring adopts a chair conformation and the dihedral angle between the pyridine and benzene rings is 67.6 (9)°. The conformations of the attachment of the anisole and N-ethyl-pyridin-2-amine groups to the piperazine ring are (+)anti-periplanar. Intra-molecular C-H⋯O and N-H⋯N inter-actions occur. In the crystal, inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrog...
