Response inhibition is a hallmark of executive control. The concept refers to the suppression of actions that are no longer required or that are inappropriate, which supports flexible and goal-directed behavior in ever-changing environments.

onion (allium cepa) contains high levels of flavonoids. although there are many studies indicating the inhibitory effects of flavonoids on xanthine oxidase, there is no report on the effect of onion on this enzyme. therefore, in the present study, the inhibitory effects of onion on xanthine oxidase are investigated. fresh filtered juice of onion was prepared and its inhibitory effect on guinea ...
