Background: Pemphigus diseases including pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are autoimmune diseases that cause severe blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. Among inflammatory mediators, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of diseases through oxidative stress for which protein carbonyl (PC) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) ...

OBJECTIVE We investigated the acute effects of treadmill exercise test (TET) on total peroxide, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), oxidative stress index (OSI) and DNA damage levels in voluntary and untrained healthy subjects. METHODS A total of 113 untrained healthy subjects were included in the study. All subjects maintained a similar diet and physical activity for a week before the test. Bl...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, induced by the cryopreservation process, can be responsible for mammalian sperm damage. Curcumin is known as an effective antioxidant against oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of curcumin on sperm count, motility and viability, semen total antioxidant capacity and DNA integrity of rat spermatozoa during semen freeze-tha...

INTRODUCTION Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a fairly common chronic inflammatory disorder. Chronic inflammation may contribute to the risk of colorectal cancer through the accumulation of specific products resulting from DNA damage. Previous studies reported that DNA damage and oxidative stress play a significant role in the pathophysiology of UC, but the results are inconsistent. OBJECTIVES In t...

objective the aim of this study was to determine the effect of revival soymilk consumption and moderate exercise on vasomotor symptoms, total antioxidant capacity (tac) and alkaline phosphates activity in postmenopausal women. materials and methods in this study, daily for 3 months, 37 postmenopausal women (mean age = 52.2± 4.6 years) were randomly assigned to soymilk (n=15), exercise +soymilk ...

The present study assessed the physiological antioxidant status of goats reared under humid tropical island ecosystem Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI). From 2019 to 2020, 25 multiparous non-pregnant does with three six kidding records maintained in organized farm Central Island Agricultural Institute (CIARI) farmer’s field flocks from South district were selected for study. Antioxidant markers...

Background and purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of acute aerobic exercise and 14-days grape seed extract supplementation on total antioxidant capacity, lipid peroxidation, and muscle cell damage biomarkers in untrained males. Materials and Methods: In a randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled study, twenty-two male students (age 19±1 years, weight 67.44±7 k...

While methods to evaluate antioxidant capacity in animals exist, one problem with the models is induction of oxidative stress. It is necessary to promote a great enough challenge to induce measurable alterations to oxidative parameters while ensuring the protocol is compatible with animal welfare. The aim of the present study was to evaluate caged transport as a viable short-term stress that wo...

Background: Pineapple juice processing is an art of preservation, and the processing technologies play important role in pineapple juice quality. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the potential impacts of non-thermal processing methods on the physicochemical, bioactive, and microbiological properties of fresh pineapple juice. Methods: Extracted juices were subjected to several non-thermal...

abstract antioxidant capacity and quality of fruits usually changed during storage. in the current study, the changes of antioxidant capacity and postharvest quality of two blood (pigmented) orange cultivars (‘tarocco’ and ‘morro’) and ‘thompson navel’ orange, after 60 days storage at 7ºc and 90 rh% was investigated. during fruit storage weight loss, tss, ta, tss/ta, vitamin c, total phenol, an...
