This report shows the antioxidant effects of a hemp seed meal protein hydrolysate (HMH) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Defatted hemp seed meal was hydrolyzed consecutively with pepsin and pancreatin to yield HMH, which was incorporated into rat feed as a source of antioxidant peptides. Young (8-week old) SHRs were divided into three groups (8 rats/group) and fed diets that contained ...

Abstract Objectives Dental caries is a multifactorial infectious disease caused by the colonization and proliferation of bacteria in mouth. Recently, it has been reported that local antioxidant oxidant status may play an important role pathogenesis dental caries. Visfatin adipocytokine enhances leukocyte activation release proinflammatory cytokines. In this study, our aim was to investigate sal...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The human system possesses antioxidants that act harmoniously to neutralize the harmful oxidants. This study was aimed to evaluate the serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) as a single parameter in Eales' disease (ED) and in an acute inflammatory condition such as uveitis and in cataract which is chronic, compared to healthy controls. METHODS The TAC assay was done sp...

Grape pomace contains high levels of valuable antioxidants such as anthocyanins and phenolic compounds that help prevent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular problems and cancers. In this study, Concord grape pomace was soaked in acidic solutions at different time intervals and pHs in a water bath at 80 o C. Five kinds of anthocyanins were released and identified in the pomace after acid hyd...

Aim of the present study is to investigate the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and lipid peroxidation end product, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in seminal plasma of fertile and infertile men and its relationship with different spermatozoa parameters. Semen samples were collected from 15 fertile men (normozoospermic as control) and 40 infertile men (15 oligozoospermic, 17 asthenozoosperm...

BACKGROUND Dietary antioxidant intake has been hypothesized to influence the development of allergic diseases; however, few prospective studies have investigated this association. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to study the association between total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of the diet at age 8 years and the subsequent development of asthma, rhinitis and sensitization to inhalant allergens between 8...

The antioxidant function of edible flowers have attracted increasing interest. However, information is lacking on the impact of edible flowers on oxidative injury including hypoxia-re-oxygenation and hyperlipidemia. The antioxidant activities of aqueous extracts from 12 Chinese edible flowers were assessed in four different antioxidant models, including total antioxidant capacity (TAC), oxygen ...

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress may play a critical role in the vascular disease of end stage renal failure and hemodialysis patients. Studies, analyzing either discrete analytes and antioxidant substances, or the integrated total antioxidant activity of human plasma during hemodialysis, give contradictory results. METHODS Recently, we have introduced a new automated method for the determination ...

conclusions increment in the number of parity can lead to decrease antioxidant defense mechanisms in multiparous women and their newborns. so, control of oxidative stress is considered to be beneficial in multiparous women. background parturition has been associated with free radicals, itself linked with poor pregnancy outcome. objectives this study aimed to investigate the relationship between...
