Increased serum uric acid is known to be a major risk related to the development of several oxidative stress diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of parsley, quercetin and kaempferol on serum uric acid levels, liver xanthine oxidoreductase activity and two non-invasive biomarkers of oxidative stress (total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde concentration) in norma...

Application o f [6 14C]or [7-14C]nicotinic acid to parsley cell suspension cultures led to the accumulation of labelled nicotinamide m ononucleotide, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, nicotinamide N-riboside, nicotinamide and nicotinic acid, indicating the operation of the pyridine nucleotide cycle in these cells. A s main conjugates, nicotinic acid N-glucoside and nicotinic acid glucose ester...

Root colonization by plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can be increased depending on the type of rhizosphere. The aim of the present study was to determine fluorescent Pseudomonad diversity in lettuce, parsley, arugula and chicory. Roots from these rhizospheres were sampled at different properties of small commercial producers in Campinas, state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. In the diversity ...

Trans-Caffeoyl-CoA 3-O-methyltransferase is involved in the reinforcement of the plant cell wall under conditions that trigger the disease resistance response (Pakusch, A.-E., Kneusel, R.E., and Matern, U. (1989) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 271, 488-494). Partial amino acid sequences of the enzyme from cultured parsley cells that had been treated with a crude elicitor were identified (Pakusch, A.-E...

In order to investigate the photosynthetic activity of tobacco plants with special reference to the relationship between this activity and the content of cytochrome f, the method of extraction and some properties of this compound was studied. Cytochrome f was extracted from tobacco chloroplasts, using ammoniac ethanol solution containing Triton X-100. Tobacco cytochrome f had properties similar...

background: the sources of radioactivity in the environment have natural, terrestrial and extraterrestrial, and anthropogenic origins. plants may get radioactive nuclides in two ways: (i) by the deposition of radioactive fallout, (ii) by absorption from the soil. materials and methods: the concentrations of the natural radionuclides (226ra, 228ra, 40k) and the artificial radionuclide (137cs) in...

in this study, parsley was dried using three drying methods: hot air (50, 60 ‎and 70 ºc), microwave (90, 180, 360, 600 and 900 w) and a combination of ‎hot air – microwave (60ºc and 360w). selection of the optimum levels for ‎drying in combination method took place with quality tests of dried ‎samples. the drying data of parsley with hot air and microwave methods ‎was fitted with eight models: ...
