This paper is the first phytochemical and ABTS cation radical decolorisation activity, cupric reducing antioxidant capacity, anticholinesterase and DNA damage protection effect of endemic Verbascum pinetorum (Boiss.) O. Kuntze. Phenolic profile of V. pinetorum were qualified and quantified by UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis. Malic acid (47250.61±2504.28 µg/g) and luteolin (7651.96±527.98 µg/g) were fo...

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity of orange (Citrus auranthium) flesh (OF) and peel (OP) extracted with acetone, ethanol, and methanol. Antioxidant potential was examined by measuring total phenolic content (TPC), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (RSA), total radical-trapping anti-oxidant potential (TRAP), oxygen radical absorbance...

Acetone is a ubiquitous compound due to its source strength of about 95 Tg/yr and poor reactivity in the gas phase [1]. The latter allows acetone to reach the upper troposphere where it is mainly removed by photolysis reactions. Acetone degradation has an impact on the oxidizing capacity of the (upper) troposphere producing HOx and ozone. Another potential sink for acetone in the tropospheric m...

Breath analysis has been considered a suitable tool to evaluate diseases of the respiratory system and those that involve metabolic changes, such as diabetes. Breath acetone has long been known as a biomarker for diabetes. However, the results from published data by far have been inconclusive regarding whether breath acetone is a reliable index of diabetic screening. Large variations exist amon...

Early evidence for the metabolic activity of acetone was derived from studies showing a partial disappearance of administered doses of the compound (1, 2). It is clear from these investigations, and from subsequent work (3,4), that most of the acetone excreted as volatile iodoform-forming substance appears in the exhaled air; a smaller fraction is excreted in the urine. Schwarz (1) demonstrated...
