Geriforte stimulates antioxidant defense system.
Geriforte, a herbomineral preparation, feeding at 1 g% dose level for 4 weeks significantly increased catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities in liver of mice. In rats, in addition to these enzymes, the levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) were also significantly enhanced. However, only SOD in mice and, CAT and SOD activities in rat lung were signif...
متن کاملEvaluation of salinity response through the antioxidant defense system and osmolyte accumulation in a mutant rice
In order to assess the responses of Hashemi rice genotype and its advanced mutant line under salinity stress of 100 mM Sodium chloride (NaCl) for three and six days the shoot samples were taken for biochemical analysis. This experiment was performed in split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. The main factor was factorial combination of saline treatmen...
متن کاملGenes controlling the metabolic switch in hibernating mammals.
Hibernating mammals have the ability to decrease their metabolic rate and survive up to 6 months without food in an inactive state where body temperatures approach 0 degrees C. In hibernating 13-lined ground squirrels (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus), oxygen consumption holds at 1/30 to 1/50 of the aroused condition and heart rates are as low as 3-10 beats/min, compared with 200-300 beats/min wh...
متن کاملEndocrine regulation of bone and energy metabolism in hibernating mammals.
Precise coordination among organs is required to maintain homeostasis throughout hibernation. This is particularly true in balancing bone remodeling processes (bone formation and resorption) in hibernators experiencing nutritional deprivation and extreme physical inactivity, two factors normally leading to pronounced bone loss in non-hibernating mammals. In recent years, important relationships...
متن کاملA defect in the antioxidant defense system in schizophrenia.
OBJECTIVES Several oxidants and antioxidants have been evaluated in schizophrenia. However, previous studies frequently focused on individual parameters. Determination of the total oxidant and antioxidant status may be more useful. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate both plasma total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) together with the oxidative stress index (OSI) in schizophr...
