Tocotrienol Modulates the Expression of Proteins in Oxidative Stress-Induced Caenorhabditis Elegans

Objective: Oxidative stress that damages proteins result in aging and age related diseases. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) on the expression of proteins in oxidative stress-induced caenohabditis elegans (C.elegans) which has homologous genes to humans. Methods: The worms were treated with TRF prior to, after and continuously in separate group...

Determination of the effects of food preservatives benzoic acid and sodium nitrate on lifespan, fertility and physical growth in Caenorhabditis elegans

Presently, the use of protective food additives such as benzoic acid and sodium nitrate is quite common. However, it was found that these additives, which initially appeared to be harmless, led to the emergence of a number of health problems. Cancer and diseases and deaths with no apparent causes are among the leading concerns. Therefore, the studies which can reveal the genotoxic potential of ...

استفاده از تعامل نماتد Caenorhabditis elegans، قارچ Arthrobotrys oligospora و باکتری Bacillus subtilis در کنترل نماتد Meloidogyne javanica

در این تحقیق از تعامل نماتد Caenorhabditis elegans، قارچ Arthrobotrys oligospora و باکتری Bacillus subtilis در کنترل نماتد مولد گره ریشه Meloidogyne javanica استفاده شد. باکتری مذکور جهت تحریک سیستم دفاعی گیاه در بدو تیمار و به عنوان غذای نماتد C. elegans و نماتد C. elegans به منظور افزایش تولید تله استفاده شد. قارچoligospora A. پس از 72 ساعتموجب مرگ و میر 77% لاروهای نماتد M. javanica ‌گردید، ...

Screening of isoquinoline alkaloids for potent lipid metabolism modulation with Caenorhabditis elegans.

Metabolic syndrome and related disorders are increasingly prevalent in contemporary society, and thus pose the need for potent agents to control lipid accumulation in the body. This study indicates that Caenorhabditis elegans was effective in screening for potent lipid metabolism modulators with berberine as a model compound. Among the various isoquinoline alkaloids tested, sanguinarine, a benz...
