background: in recent years, plants natural products have gained considerable attention as natural preservers for use in different industries. due to their free radical scavenging activities, phenolic compounds can prevent a wide range of diseases such as cancers and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. for a long time, different ferulago species have been in use as medicinal plants w...

AIM The present study assess the effect of consumption of alcohol on oxidative stress and antioxidant status in patients suffering from different types of cancer. METHODS This hospital based case control study conducted in the Western part of Nepal covered a total of 93 cancer patients with or without alcohol intake and smoking habits, along with 94 age, sex and habit-matched individuals serv...

Abstract Flowers have received special attention not only for their ornamental nature but also nutraceutical, cosmetic, aromatic, and culinary properties. This study aimed to characterize physicochemical attributes the antioxidant capacity of flowers four gladiolus cultivars. The cultivars used were White Friendship, Rose Supreme, Jester, T704. We analyzed content total soluble solids (SS), tit...

The objective of this study was to obtain and characterize a freeze-dried powder taioba leaves (Xanthosoma taioba) as source bioactive substances potential food applications. fresh were cooked lyophilized for further analysis. Its contents expressed in flavonoids, ascorbic acid total polyphenols quantified. Total antioxidant activity (TAA) determined by ABTS assays. chemical composition via inf...

Antioxidant activity (AOA) in fruits of Sambucus nigra and several new elderberry interspecific hybrids involving S. javanica (JA), subsp. (NI), ‘Black Beauty’ (BB), cerulea (CER) racemosa (S. (RAC), var. miquelii (MIQ), tigranii (TIG), kamtschatica—coreana (KOR) at five maturity stages were investigated by applying DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoli...

This research in vivo assessed the impact of ethanolic extract Annona muricata (A. muricata) on histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and biochemistry thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver cirrhosis Sprague Dawley rats. The rats, gavaged precisely with two doses A. (250 mg/kg 500 mg/kg) TAA, presented a substantial reduction index hepatocyte propagation, much lower cell injury. These groups showed ...

The antioxidant properties oí Acantholippia deserticola, a herb used in traditional northern Chilean medicine was studied using free radical-generating systems. The 50% aqueous-ethanol extract oí Acantholippia deserticola protected against non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation in microsomal membranes of rat, induced by an Fe++-ascorbate system and measured spectrophotometrically by the TBARS test, a...

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective effect of Nigella sativa oil (NSO) and compared with the N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant which is known to have liver protective effects, against thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver injury. Accordingly, we aimed to investigate the toxicity of a hepatotoxic agent, thioacetamide, compared the NSO and NAC liver preventive effect...

the crude oil, crude protein, crude ash, crude fiber, total phenol and antioxidant activity values, peroxide values, specific gravity, the refraxtive index and  acid value of citrullus lanatus and their oils were determined. fatty acid composition of seeds belong to both watermelon were determined by gas chromotography (gc). these oils are important sources of essential fatty acid, linoleic aci...

the essential oil from the aerial parts ofjurinea leptoloba dc., collected from shiraz (south of iran), was investigated for total phenolic content (tpc), antioxidant and cytotoxic effects. tpc of j. leptoloba oil was determined to be 16.53 ± 5.69 μg gallic acid equivalent/mg sample (μg gae/mg oil) using the folin-ciocalteau assay. the ferric reducing power of the oil was determined 0.117 ± 0.0...
