non- alcoholic malt drinks are popular in many countries including muslim countries. in iran, these drinks are prepared in a manner similar to beer, but without fermentation and are generally produced using barley malt. in this study, malt drinks with ratios of 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25 and 100:0 of barley to oat malts, the latter obtained under optimum conditions in terms of its enzymes activ...

background and objectives: edible films and coatings are effective method for decreasing oxidation and increasing the shelf life of pistachios. the present study investigated the effect of an edible gelatin coating containing ascorbic acid (aa: 1% w/v) and propyl gallate (pg: 100 ppm) on the oxidative stability and sensory properties of roasted pistachio nuts. materials and methods: pistachios ...

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) provides a pathway for the passage of lipid peroxides and lysophospholipids to the liver via hepatic scavenger receptors. Perhaps more importantly, HDL actually metabolizes lipid hydroperoxides preventing their accumulation on low-density lipoprotein (LDL), thus impeding its atherogenic structural modification. A number of candidates have been suggested to be resp...

objective(s):our recent report indicates that breviscapine play a protective role of the kidney by down-regulating transforming growth factor-β1(tgf-β1), α-smooth muscle actin (α-sma) and alleviating interstitial fibrosis following unilateral ureteral obstruction (uuo). in this study, we investigate the effect of breviscapine on changes of renal water and sodium transport proteins in response t...

background: white button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) is one of the most sensitive agricultural crops after harvesting and its antioxidant properties tend to decrease during post-harvest storage with the passage of time. objectives: the possible role of exogenous application of malic acid as dipping treatment on bioactive components and antioxidant properties of sliced white button mushroom dur...

Propofol is an intravenous sedative-hypnotic agent indicated for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia as well as for sedation of intubated, mechanically ventilated adults in intensive care units (ICU). Propofol is characterized by a phenolic structure similar to that of α-tocopherol, and presents antioxidant properties that have been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. The aim of...

Argpyrimidine, the product of non-enzymatic protein glycation by methylglyoxal, has been implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and neurodegenerative diseases. Chemically, argpyrimidine is a substituted pyrimidinol with structural features common to known antioxidants. The objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidant properties of argpyrimidine. Argpyrimidine was s...

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...
