plants with hypoglycemic properties are important in the treatment of diabetes. one of the mechanisms in reducing blood glucose is preventing the digestive absorption of glucose. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant properties of some traditional medicinal plants collected from different regions of iran and their effects on glucose diffusion decrease. the amounts of phenolic co...

abstract in this study, the physicochemical quality and antioxidant activities of fruits peel from 6 citrus varieties which commonly consumed in the north of iran were determined. some parameters were measurement such fruit size, peel thickness, residue percentage, peel color indices, total phenolics, total flavonoid, total anthocyanins, total carotenoids, total chlorophyll, ascorbic acid conte...

Background: Thioacetamide (TAA) is a recognized industrial poisonous agent drastically used in animal studies for induction of hepatic necrosis, fibrosis and cirrhosis. It additionally reported to be nephrotoxic through oxidative stress. Quercetin (QE) has high antioxidant capacity via free radical scavenging, transition metal ion binding, lipid peroxidation inhibition. Aim the work: The goal t...

Ethanolic extract of leaves of Elaeocarpus ganitrus was analyzed for their total antioxidant capacity, reducing power, metal chelating, ABTS+ (2, 2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonate) radical scavenging and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities. The extract at 500 ?g/ml showed maximum Iron chelating activity (76.70%) followed by the scavenging of the ABTS+ radical (55.77%) at the sa...

pomegranate (punica granatum l.) is an important iranian-native fruit, whose many varieties are cultivated. fruits are widely consumed fresh and in processed forms as juice, jams and etc. pomegranate peel, as a by-product of the commercial juice industry, is a rich source of bioactive compounds. this research has been done to evaluate and compare physical characteristics, total phenolics, total...

OBJECTIVES Cytochrome oxidase activity has been determined in the adrenal glands of thioacetamide (TAA)-cirrhotic rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two groups of animals (Control group; n=10 and TAA group; n=11) of three months evolution were used to study the cytochrome oxidase activity in the suprarenal cortex (glomerular, fascicular and reticular layers) and medulla. TAA was administered orally a...

In the Indian system of traditional medicine (Ayurveda) it is recommended to consume Ipomoea aquatica to mitigate disorders like jaundice. In this study, the protective effects of ethanol extract of I. aquatica against liver damage were evaluated in thioacetamide (TAA)-induced chronic hepatotoxicity in rats. There was no sign of toxicity in the acute toxicity study, in which Sprague-Dawley (SD)...
