In this work, the phytoremediation potential of 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) from soil and wetlands by Datura stramonium L. (jimsonweed) was investigated. The medium seedlings growing in a hydroponic system adjusted to different concentrations (0.0, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250 275 ppm) 2,4-DCP. Four days later, remediation rate 2,4-DCP growth medium, root-stem length, dry weight, lipi...

iron overload is known to occur in the west european and american population due to the consumption of iron-rich diets. on the other hand, genetic disorders leading to iron overload are also known. iron overload leads to increased peroxidation and disruptive disintegration of lipid-rich membranes, and predisposes humans for an enhanced risk of cancer induction. in experimental animals iron over...

introduction: electromagnetic fields (emfs) can influence the biological system by the formation of free radicals in cells. the emfs are able to deteriorate defense system against free radicals that leads to oxidative stress (os). lipid peroxidation process (lpo) is an index of oxidative stress, and the malandialdehyde (mda) is the final product of lpo. vitamin e is the most important antioxida...

conclusions these results demonstrate that the hypolipidemic and antioxidative effects of aqueous extract of e. caryophyllus might be due to its ability to ameliorate lipid profiles, enhance antioxidant activities, and delay the lipid peroxidation process. this confirms the previously identified protective roles of e. caryophyllus in human health. background eugenia caryophyllus (clove) is an i...

Here, we have studied the impact of nanocrystalline cerium dioxide (NCD) particles on erythrocyte membrane state in a model hypothermic storage blood samples by examining content lipid peroxidation (LPO) primary products and hematological indices (free total hemoglobin, hematocrit hemolysis levels). After within 5 weeks, no significant difference between control experimental groups was revealed...

Study was undertaken to investigate the various oxidative stress markers and biochemical parameters in anxious rat. Rats were subjected for short (21 days) and long term (up to 84 days) social isolation; the rats displayed an increase in anxiety on elevated plus maze and open field test relative to control. Various markers of oxidative stress like lipid peroxidation (LPO), reduced glutathione (...

Semen cryopreservation is a unique tool for the management of animal genetic diversity. However, the freeze-thaw process causes biochemical and physical alterations which make difficult the restoration of sperm energy-dependent functions needed for fertilization. 5'-AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key sensor and regulator of intracellular energy metabolism. Mitochondria functions are k...

by producing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, metal-induced toxicity and carcinogenicity alter dna bases, increase  lipid peroxidation, and change calcium and sulfhydryl homeostasis. the purpose of the study was to investigate putative effects of lemon balm and cinnamomum zeylanicum on the blood markers of welding workers. we measured nickel and chromium levels, biochemical parameters, blo...

The present experiment was designed to access the effects of Methylmercury chloride ( MeHgCl) on antioxidant status, protein concentration, lipid peroxidation and hydroperoxidation in brain parts, spinal cord, lung, heart and pancreas of rats. Twenty male Wistar rats (3 months old) were divided in saline controls (C) and MeHgCl-treated group (MMC). Treated rats were intoxicated with MMC ...

An SDS-PAGE analysis of renal microsomal fraction of albino mice was performed to study the involvement of proteins in dexamethasone-induced type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and their alterations by metformin, a widely accepted oral antidiabetic drug. In addition, changes in renal lipid peroxidation (LPO), activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), reduced glutathione (GSH) conte...
