In biotransformations carried out under similar conditions enzymatic systems from carrot (Daucus carota L.), celeriac (Apium graveolens L. var. rapaceum) and horse-radish (Armoracia lapathifolia Gilib.) hydrolyzed the ester bonds of acetates of phenols or alicyclic alcohols. Nevertheless, methyl esters of aromatic acids did not undergo hydrolysis. Alcohols were oxidized to ketones in a reversib...

Economists have long recognized the importance of trust, but how can trust be enhanced in a marketplace? We set up a rational expectation model that allows the marketplace to target buyer trusting (via a buyer protection program) and seller trustworthiness (via penalty on cheaters) separately. We show that these two policies have opposite effects on the equilibrium level of trust: buyer protect...

The different extracts of Apium graveolens Linn. (Apiaceae) and Croton oblongifolius Roxb. (Euphorbiaceae) were tested for their hepatoprotective activity against CCl(4) induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats. The degree of protection was measured by using biochemical parameters like serum transaminases (SGOT and SGPT), alkaline phosphatase, total protein and albumin. The methanolic extracts sho...

Background Allergy to Apium graveolens is one of the more severe food allergies. Six celery allergens have been characterised, Api g 1-6, while additional allergens have characterised from other members of the Magnoliospida class, including kiwi, peanut and ragweed, suggesting homologous allergens may also be present in celery. The participants of the Omics Allergy School 2013 were provided wit...

Three Apium graveolens (L.) varieties and cultivars within varieties were evaluated for host plant suitability to two polyphagous lepidopteran herbivores: the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hiibner), and the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hiibner). Overall, there were no significant differences in survivorship, developmental time, and pupal weight of S. exigua or T. ni reared on the two va...

BACKGROUND Apium graveolens L. is a traditional Chinese medicine prescribed as a treatment for hypertension, gout, and diabetes. This study aimed to determine the neuroprotective effects of A. graveolens extract against a Parkinson's disease (PD) model induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) in C57BL/6 mice. METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice treated with MPTP were orally dosed ...

Plants are an important source of natural active products that are different, based on mechanism and biological properties. Celery ( Apium graveolens L) is a plant from the apiaceae family and phenolic and antioxidant compounds of this plant have been studied by several scientists. The aim of this study was to review systematically the antioxidant activity of celery. Required articles were sear...

We study a bargaining model in which a buyer makes frequent offers to a privately informed seller. In addition, the buyer gradually learns about the seller’s type from a publicly observable news process. We show that the buyer’s ability to leverage this information to extract more surplus from the seller is remarkably limited. In fact, the buyer’s equilibrium payoff is identical to what he woul...
