it has been investigated the in vitro antioxidant properties of ethanol extracts of the contained-allantoin plants in this study. contained-allantoined plant samples plantago lanceolata, plantago major, robinia pseudoacacia, platanus orientalis and aesculus hippocastanum were tested at different concentrations. the antioxidant activities of plant samples were analysed by 1,1- diphenyl-2-picrylh...

nowadays mobile phone is very popular, causing concern about the effect it has on people's health. parotid salivary glands are in close contact to cell phone while talking with the phone and the possibility of being affected by them. limited studies have evaluated the effect of cell phone use on the secretions of these glands; so this study was designed to investigate the effects of duration of...

conclusions our findings indicated that oxidative stress could play an essential role in male infertility caused by varicocele and may impair spermatogenesis leading to infertility. objectives in the current study, we aimed to assess the tac (total antioxidant capacity) and mda (malondialdehyde) as stress oxidative markers in infertile men with varicocele and fertile men, and moreover, their co...

background: diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in which antioxidant capacity changes. omega‑3 fatty acids have extensive biological effects including their advantage on lipoprotein metabolism, platelet function, cytokine production, clotting, fibrinolysis, and inflammatory factors. this study aimed to investigate the effect of omega‑3 fatty acid supplements on antioxidant capac...

human milk contains all of the constituents that are required for the optimal growth and development of a neonate. it supports the development of brain, immune, and physiological systems. this study aimed to consider the significance of breast milk in preventing oxidative stress by comparing total antioxidant capacity (tac) in breast and formula milk for premature infants, demonstrating the rel...

air pollution is the most important environmental problem of last century that threatens the health of living organisms, especially plants. so2 is one of the main air pollutants that can cause to imbalance in growth and physiological function of plant in high concentrations. symbiosis of rhizobium bacteria with alfalfa can cause increasing plant growth and plant resistance to abiotic stresses. ...

in this study, the effectiveness of chitosan coating treatment to control weight loss and maintaining fruit quality of apricot was investigated. fruits were coated with 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% chitosan as well as distilled water (control). following treatments, fruits were stored at 0?c and 80 ? 2% relative humidity for 25 days. the weight loss, total soluble solids (tss), titratable acidity (ta)...

the green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an active research area in nanotechnology. in the present study, antioxidant potential, total reducing capacity and silver nanoparticles (ag nps) synthetic potential of methanolic leaf extracts of seven plant species were evaluated and compared. antioxidant capacity, expressed as µmol trolox equivalents g-1 dw (µmol te g-1 dw), ranged from 116.0 ...

background and objective: although there are reports in the literature on the antimicrobial effects of green tea, the effect of black tea, the most common beverage in iran, on growth of bacteria, such as streptococcus pyogenes, has not been studied extensively. this study was undertaken to determine the inhibitory effect of black tea on the growth of streptococcus pyogenes in vitro and compare ...

abstract introduction: medicinal plants belong to lamiaceae family are potential sources of new drugs to improve the treatment of diseases which its treatment is linked to anti-oxidative agents. in this paper, antioxidant potentials of some lamiaceae species have been evaluated by two methods. methods: phosphomolybdate assay for total antioxidant capacity and ferric reducing antioxidant potenti...
