the effect of alkyl substituents on the c-phenyl and/or the n-phenyl ring of benzophenylhydroxamic acid on their molecular structure and hydrogen bonding has been investigated. the predominant configuration in chcl3 is determined by steric and electronic effects. substituents on the c-phenyl ring favor the cis configuration, while substituents in the n-phenyl ring favor a trans configuration. t...

Severe physical activity leads to a sharp increase in free radicals, an oxidative stress, inflammation, and tissue damage. Resveratrol as one of the antioxidants can be effective in preventing the effects of oxidative stress. Therefore, the present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of trans-resveratrol supplementation and training exercise on inflammation-related factors. Sixty-four ...
