The effect of irradiation on thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and volatile compounds in raw and cooked nonirradiated and irradiated chicken breast meat infused with green tea and grape seed extracts was investigated. Chicken breast meat was vacuum infused with green tea extract (3,000 ppm), grape seed extract (3,000 ppm), or their combination (at a total of 6,000 ppm), irradiated...

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate preventive effects Taurine against 2,3,7,8-tetracholorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced organ damage in rats. environmental toxin TCDD has a high toxicity animal and human tissues. is an amino acid found cells that antioxidant properties anti-inflammatory. As result, potential effect taurine on oxidative stress caused by investigated rat liver k...

INTRODUCTION Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), especially preeclampsia, is a state of extremely increased oxidative stress (OS), due to decrease of antioxidant capacity in comparison to normotensive pregnant women. The consequences of increased state of oxidative stress with hypertension disorder in pregnancy are disorder of placental blood flow, intrauterine hypoxia of the fetus and distur...

INTRODUCTION Growing evidence suggests that oxidative stress (OS) may be associated with the pathophysiology underlying schizophrenia (SZ). Some studies indicate that nutritional supplements offer protection from OS, but there is no data about the effect of a hypocaloric diet on OS in this population. Therefore, we aimed to study the effect of a hypocaloric dietary intervention on OS in subject...

BACKGROUND Socioeconomic disadvantage (SED) has been consistently associated with early life mental health problems. SED has been shown to impact multiple biological systems, including the regulation of neurotrophic proteins, immune-inflammatory and oxidative stress markers, which, conversely, have been reported to be relevant to physiological and pathological neurodevelopment This study invest...

A variety of Krebs cycle intermediaries has been shown to possess antioxidant properties in different in vivo and in vitro systems. Here we examined whether citrate, succinate, malate, oxaloacetate, fumarate and alpha-ketoglutarate could modulate malonate-induced thiobarbituric acid-reactive species (TBARS) production in rat brain homogenate. The mechanisms involved in their antioxidant activit...

BACKGROUND Sodium metabisulfite is added to a commercial propofol emulsion as an antimicrobial agent. The sulfite ion (SO3(-2)) is capable of undergoing a number of reactions, including autooxidation and the promotion of lipid peroxidation. This study evaluated sulfite reactivity in propofol emulsions by determining thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS), sulfite depletion, and emulsio...

alzheimer is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder in which oxidative stress plays a major role. the present study was designed to investigate neuroprotective effect of lornoxicam, selegiline and co-administration of both drugs in scopolamine induced cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration. scopolamine (1.4mg/kg) was administered intraperitoniallyin male wistar rats. rectangular maze perf...

to the TBARS assay. In particular, different aldehydes can be formed in the lipid peroxidation process and aldehydes other than MDA may form chromogenic complexes with TBA, which exhibit similar absorbance or emission wavelengths. Several other biological compounds, including sugars, amino acids and bilirubin, are also reactive towards TBA and form TBA reactive materials which confound the meas...
