Amaranthus viridis is a functional food due to its antioxidant activity. The aim of this study was investigate the responses photosynthesis, growth, and properties in A. nitrogen (N) applications. plants were cultivated under low N (LN), medium (MN), high (HN), harvested at reproductive phase. dry mass plant height increased with elevated N, HN saturated. Net photosynthetic rate, stomatal condu...

The title complex salt, [CuCl(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)][Tb(NO(3))(4)(C(12)H(8)N(2))], consists of discrete [CuCl(phen))(2)](+) cations and [Tb(NO(3))(4)(phen)](-) anions (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline). The [CuCl(phen))(2)](+) cation contains a five-coordinate Cu(2+) ion, ligated by two bidentate phen ligands and one Cl(-) ion, exhibiting a distorted CuN(4)Cl trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. In the [Tb(NO...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Yb(4)Zn(4)(C(4)H(5)O(2))(20)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(4)], contains half of a centrosymmetric octa-nuclear mol-ecule in which each Zn(II) ion is four-coordinated by three O atoms from three 2-methyl-prop-2-enoate (L) ligands and one N atom from a 4,4'-bipyridine (bipy) ligand in a distorted pyramidal geometry. The two independent Yb(III) ions, each co...

costus speciosus (koen) j.e. sm. plant and its extracts are used for treatment of fever, snake bites, jaundice, and as a purgative, astringent and antibacterial agent. in the present study, an attempt has been made to evaluate in vitro antioxidant activity of different extracts of this plant by dpph radical scavenging activity, total antioxidant capacity, nitric oxide scavenging activity, ion c...

Objective(s): In the current study antioxidant capacities of five different extracts of Artemisia ciniformis aerial parts were evaluated by cell-free methods. Then seven fractions of the potent extract were selected and their antioxidant capacity was assayed by cell free and cell based methods. Materials andMethods: Antioxidant ability was measured using the: 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DP...

Waste water purification is shown to be an important field of environmental hygiene for non-ferrous metal industries. Hydrometallurgy becomes of greater importance for metal production and refining. Quality standards for drinking water and rivers require a minimum of some harmful impurities, e.g. metal compounds. The unit operations of hydrometallurgy technologically parallel the methods of eff...

BACKGROUND Iron fortification of foods is currently a strategy employed to fight iron deficiency in countries. Liposomes were assumed to be a potential carrier of iron supplements. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the iron transport from ferrous glycinate liposomes, and to estimate the effects of liposomal carriers, phytic acid, zinc and particle size on iron transport...

Marine invertebrates are capable of synthesizing bioactive compounds, which may be beneficial to human health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant, hemolytic, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of crude extract (70% EtOH), and dichloromethane (DCM), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and aqueous (Aq) fractions of the marine zoanthid Palythoa caribaeorum. The phenolic compound contents...
