Influence of Chromium on the Natural Antioxidant Barrier
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hexavalent chromium (VI) compounds are widely used in industry, while trivalent chromium (III) is used as a nutritional supplement. CrVI is generally considered more toxic and carcinogenic than its trivalent form and the toxicity of this metal is associated with free radical processes generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). The detailed mechanism of ROS formation by chromium and its compounds remains largely

Effect of citric acid on antioxidant activity of garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) under chromium stress
Chromium-VI would impose detrimental effects morphological, physiological, and metabolic in plants. This study aimed to research the impact of citric acid (0, 2.5 and 5 mM), on different the morphological and physiological characteristics of garden cress exposed to chromium-VI stress (0, 1, and 10 mM). Results showed that some growth parameters, chlorophyll, carotenoids, and DPPH activity decre...
متن کاملThe Comparison of the Protective Effect of L-Carnitine, Chromium and Vitamin D with Metformin on Liver, Antioxidant Enzyme Activity, and Iron Metabolism in Diabetic Rats
Objective: Due to the lack of information about the positive or negative effects of L-carnitine, chromium, vitamin D, and the uptake of a safe dietary supplement to reduce the effects of diabetes, it seems essential to determine the effects of these drugs on diabetes. Materials and Methods: Wistar rats were divided into 12 groups, control, diabetic, and intact, each of which was treated with m...
متن کاملEffects of Chromium on Enzymatic/Nonenzymatic Antioxidants and Oxidant Levels of Portulaca oleracea L.
Purslane(Portulaca oleracea L.) is a local plant in Iran that can easily breed. Chromium is a heavy metal that causes toxicity for the growth and development of plants. To study the effects of potassium dichromate on growth, efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm), cell membrane stability index (MSI), indexes of oxidative stress and antioxidant properties of purslane, an experiment was d...
متن کاملInfluence of Polyaniline Synthesis Conditions on its Capability for Removal and Recovery of Chromium from Aqueous Solution
Absorptive characteristics of polyaniline synthesized in different solvents were studied. Water and mixture of water with other solvents were implemented for polyaniline synthesis. Synthesized polyanilines in powder shape is used as an adsorbent to remove toxic hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions. Experiments were conducted in batch mode. Removal mechanism involving polyanil...
متن کاملRapid Determination of Chromium (M)lli Natural Water and Industrial Effluents Using Kinetic Speetrophotometric Method
A new simple arid rapid catalytic kinetic method for determination of trace amounts of chromium (110 isdescribed. The method is based on the catalytic effect of chromium (III) on the reduction of Methylene blue byascorbic acid in acidic media. The reaction monitored smectrophotomenically by measuring the decrease ofabsorbance at 664 nm at 25 C. The fixed-time method was used for the first 300 s...
