This study aims to compare the data on chemical characteristics (protein content, fat, ash, moisture, Free Fatty Acid (FFA), Thiobarbituric (TBA), and total energy) of commercial skin crackers made from various kinds animal skin. Four categories same producer were assigned as treatments, including cowhide crackers, buffalo askin fish chicken crackers. The showed that type raw material for had a...

The specificity of an iodometric assay for measuring lipid peroxides in lipoproteins was tested, compared with the fluorimetric thiobarbituric acid assay, and adopted for detecting lipid peroxide in plasma samples. Oxidation of low density lipoproteins in vitro by Cu2+, lipoxidase, and phagocytosing polymorphonuclear leucocytes was sensitively detected by the iodometric assay. Unlike the thioba...

We compared thiobarbituric acid colorimetry and boronate chromatography for measuring glycation of serum proteins. With 14C-glycated human albumin as a test material, both methods were acceptably linear and precise. However, comparable estimates (mmol/L) of albumin glycation ranged from 0.22 for thiobarbituric acid to 0.05 for boronate, representing yields relative to [14C]glycosylprotein of 42...

Green tea polyphenols have demonstrated significant antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, anti-mutagenic and antidiabetic in numerous human, animal and in vitro studies. Hence present study was design to evaluate the influence of green tea in streptozotocin induced oxidative stress in mice. Morris water maze, Elevated plus maze and passive avoidance apparatus was used for the evaluation of learning an...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate an increase in plasma concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances as a non-invasive biochemical test of reperfusion after thrombolysis and to investigate the relation between the inflammatory response after acute myocardial infarction and the production of the substances. METHODS Venous samples were taken from 19 patients receiving thrombolysis for acute my...
