This study investigates the effects of water solutions on the antioxidant content of green tea leaf extracts. Green teas prepared with tap water and distilled water were compared with respect to four antioxidant assays: total phenol content, reducing power, DMPD assay, and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity assay. The results indicate that green tea prepared with distilled water exhibits hi...

A pure sodium chloride solution, at the concentration in which this salt exists in sea-water, may be poisonous to marine organisms, as was first proven by Loeb,’ who found that the young of a marine fish (Fundulus) soon die in y to F solution of sodium chloride. That death is due to the poisonous action of the sodium chloride, and not merely to the absence of other constituents of the sea-water...

The present study evaluates the histological effects of oral sodium benzoate on liver of albino rats. The study comprises of 4 groups of albino rats. Each group consists of 10 albino rats. Of these, first group was given 400mg/kg body weight sodium benzoate orally in distilled water, second group was given 800mg/kg body weight sodium benzoate in distilled water, and the third group was given 12...

Beginning in 1993, an increase in clinical isolates of Mycobacterium abscessus was observed in a single hospital microbiology laboratory. This involved a cluster of four patients in June 1993 and five patients and a quality-control culture of distilled water in May 1994. Twenty-three M. abscessus isolates recovered between 1991 and 1996 were compared by random amplified polymorphic DNA polymera...

Microbicidal activity of neutrophils is usually measured by colony-counting techniques after cell lysis in distilled water. While studying the effect of the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) on the staphylocidal activity of neutrophils, we obtained inconsistent results: various degrees of inhibition in some experiments and no effect ...

expansive soils are considered a worldwide problem as they cause extensive damage tocivil engineering structures. an important characteristic of expansive soils is theirsusceptibility to volume change due to the phenomenon of wetting and drying. this paperpresets the effect of pore water quality on the swelling and shrinkage behavior of anexpansive soil during wetting and drying cycles. thirty ...

BACKGROUND In Japan, the effects of reduced water, such as hydrogen-rich electrolyzed reduced water and natural reduced water, like Hita Tenryosui water®, have been examined. The purpose of the present study was to identify the role of natural reduced water in anxiety and blood biochemical analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Natural reduced water and distilled water were administered to rats for ...
