Mechanisms of plant root tolerance to high temperatures through antioxidant defense are not well understood. The objective of this study was to investigate whether superior root thermotolerance of heat-tolerant Agrostis scabra relative to its congeneric heat-sensitive Agrostis stolonifera was associated with differential accumulation of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant scavenging systems...

Being sessile organisms, plants are frequently exposed to various environmental stresses that cause several physiological disorders and even death. Oxidative stress is one of the common consequences of abiotic stress in plants, which is caused by excess generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Sometimes ROS production exceeds the capacity of antioxidant defense systems, which leads to oxida...

the antioxidant activity and phytoconstituents of the hydromethanolic extract of litchi chinensis (helc) fruit was explored in the present study. the antioxidant potential of extract has been evaluated using several antioxidant models and results were compared to standards. fruit extract showed effective reducing power and free radical scavenging activity in a dose-dependent manner. in case of ...

Germination of seeds is a complex process linked to various molecular and biochemical changes that increase the nutritional value. This research has studied impact germination on enzymatic non-enzymatic antioxidant activities five domestic staple legumes from Pakistan: chickpea, mung bean, soybean, lentil, peanut. The maximum moisture content was recorded for i.e., 11.7 ± 0.05 g 100 g−1 followe...

Oxidative stress induced by alloxan is implicated in eliciting pathological changes in diabetes mellitus. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of P. edulis aqueous leaf extract on oral administration at a concentration of 200 mg/kg body weight for 30 days to alloxan treated animals. Liver and kidney were excised and used for biochemical studies like invitro lipid peroxidation, enzy...

The purpose of the work was to study state components prooxidant-antioxidant system and indicators protein metabolism in animals after a long period exposure weak electromagnetic fields. Materials methods. experiment carried out on three-month-old white outbred rats. were exposed low-intensity radiation centimeter range for 2 months, 4 hours daily. biochemical parameters blood serum 3 months en...

Background:In recent years, the use of chemicals in agriculture, industry, and public health has become so common that the environment is continuously contaminated by the toxic substance-like metals. Aluminum released due to anthropogenic activities such as mining and industrial uses. Aluminium has several industrial uses. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of aluminium ch...

The present study demonstrates tissue-specific (hemolymph and fat body) and inter-voltine [bivoltine (BV) and trivoltine (TV)] differences in oxidatively damaged products, H2O2 content, and the relative level of antioxidant protection in the diapausing pupae of Antheraea mylitta. Results suggest that fat body (FB) of both the voltine groups has oxidative predominance, as evident from the high v...
