Introduction: Oxidative stress is one of the important pathologic factors involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Antioxidants as neutralizing agents of free radicals are one of the treatment options for these diseases and antioxidant agents that can pass through blood brain barrier have beneficial effects. In the present research, the antioxidant effect of a new iron ...

The chemical diversity of natural antioxidants (AOXs) makes it difficult to separate, detect, and quantify individual antioxidants from a complex food/biological matrix. Moreover, the total antioxidant power is often more meaningful to evaluate health beneficial effects because of the cooperative action of individual antioxidant species. Currently, there is no single antioxidant assay for food ...

Contemporary publications on possible pharmaceutical treatment of ototoxic effect aminoglycosides have been analyzed. In this respect, substances with the antioxidant seem to be most promising. Their use in therapeutic doses is not accompanied by adverse reactions, and they do interfere antibacterial anti-tuberculosis drugs. Currently, mechanisms otoprotective action various antioxidants are be...

Oxidative stress caused by an imbalanced metabolism and an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) lead to a range of health disorders in humans. Our endogenous antioxidant defense mechanisms and our dietary intake of antioxidants potentially regulate our oxidative homeostasis. Numerous synthetic antioxidants can effectively improve defense mechanisms, but because of their adverse toxic effects...

Coffee is a rich source of dietary antioxidants, and this property, coupled with the fact that coffee is one of the world's most popular beverages, has led to the understanding that coffee is a major contributor to dietary antioxidant intake. Brewed coffee is a complex food matrix with numerous phytochemical components that have antioxidant activity capable of scavenging free radicals, donating...

introduction: temporal lobe epilepsy(tle) is a long lasting neurological disorder in which patients suffer from spontaneous seizures. new treatments with novel mechanisms of action are needed to help those patients whose seizures are resistant to available drugs. in this study, we investigated the possible neuroprotective effect of berberine in an intrahippocampal kainate model of tle in rat. m...

objective: it has been shown that silybum marianum or its extracts have hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects. nitric oxide (no) plays an important role in neurotransmission, neuroprotection, neurotoxicity and pathological pain, as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in the central nervous system. therefore, this experiment was performed in orde...

The potentially life-threatening effects of total body ionizing radiation exposure have been known for more than a century. Despite considerable advances in our understanding of the effects of radiation over the past six decades, efforts to identify effective radiation countermeasures for use in case of a radiological/nuclear emergency have been largely unsuccessful. Vitamin E is known to have ...
