This paper aims to explore the effect of soybean trypsin inhibitor(STI) on oxygen free radicals levels in pancreatic mitochondria of mice. 36 male KM mice were randomly divided into three groups and fed with different diets as follows: control group was fed on control diet, STI group was fed on control diet containing STI, and VC (vitamin C) group was fed on STI diet supplemented with vitamin C...

Sodium fluoride (NaF) in the form of mouthwashes, toothpaste, fluoridated water, and tablets was used for protection from caries Aims: to study some serum biochemical changes liver kidney. Materials Methods: Twelve healthy male rabbits were involved. Control group: six kept on a standard diet water with no any treatment. Treatment another treated by NaF at dose 20 mg/kg/day dissolved 400 ml dis...

objective: the inoculation of substrates with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) is one of the most important effective strategies applied and one of the aims of sustainable agriculture. methods: this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of amf inoculation (0, 2.5, and 5 w/w) on morpho-physiological traits such as flower and root dry weight, water-use efficiency and antioxidant capa...

background & aim: fruits from the jujube plant (ziziphus jujuba) possess health-promoting effects and medicinal properties. jujube has a long history of usage as a remedy in iranian traditional medicine and is recommended for the treatment of some diseases. this study investigated the variations in antioxidant capacities (aox), total phenol (tph), total flavonoid (tf) and total anthocyanin ...

background and objectives: periodontal disease is a chronic disorder with a high prevalence. there are few studies about the role of diet in prevention and treatment of periodontal disease. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of consumption of chicory leaf extract in adjunct with non-surgical periodontal therapies on serum antioxidant and lipid status. materials and methods: this s...

objective: the aim of this study was to determine the oxidative stress; serum level of total antioxidant capacity (tac)and malondialdehyde (mda) level and the depression score among the depressed rotational shift workers in shahid tondgouyan refinery in tehran (iran). methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted among all the 189 shift workers in shahid tondgouyan oil refinery who were eligib...

abstract having no exact knowledge of most appropriate harvesting time in kiwifruit grown in different regions of guilan province, as well as the low storage longevity of the fruits are the most important factors causing considerable reduction in both marketability and export affairs. in this study, the influence of fruit quality in term of harvesting time on the postharvest quality and food va...

The accurate assessment of oxidative stress in biological systems is a problem for all investigators working on the role of free radical damage in disease. Numerous assays have been described to measure various free radical damage products or antioxidant status, and the plethora of available techniques attests to the fact that no ideal method is available. The concept of a single test that migh...

this study examined if pre-germination altered the water content and water activity, contents of phytate, total phenolic, (±)-catechin, quercetin and total antioxidant capacity of almond  (prunus dulcis)kernel. raw almond kernels were submerged for 15 hours in water, 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 5.0) and 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 7.0) at 25 and 40ºc, respectivel...
