Melatonin plays several important physiological functions in mammals, such as immune enhancement and regulation of dark-light signal transduction. Melatonin is also known to be an endogenous free radical scavenger and an efficient antioxidant. It detoxifies a variety of free radicals and reactive oxygen intermediates, including the hydroxyl radical, singlet oxygen and nitric oxide. These radica...

Erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs have been used for treatment of erectile dysfunction which affects the lives of approximately 300 million men worldwide. It is well known that the cytosolic glutathione Stransferase (GST) and glutathione metabolizing enzymes play an important role in the detoxification of many endogenous and exogenous compounds. Therefore, the present study aims at investigating ...

The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) has attracted scientific inquiry for centuries due to its singular biological traits. Within the Union, glass fisheries have declined sharply since 1980, from up 2000 t (t) 62.2 in 2018, placing wild populations under higher risk of extinction. Among major causes eels collapse, climate change become a growing worldwide issue, specifically ocean warming and a...

the present study investigates the antioxidant potential of the ethyl acetate fraction of the aerial parts eclipta alba l. hassk (eaea) which was widely used as hepatoprotective plant. eaea was orally administered at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg for 7 days in male charles foster rats. the extent of hepatoprotective potential of e . alba was studied by assessing the biochemical parameters like...

Rationale:Androgenetic alopecia is not considered a life threatening disease but can have serious impacts on the patient's psychosocial life. Genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors are considered responsible for the presence of androgenetic alopecia. Recent literature reports have proved the presence of inflammation and also of oxidative stress at the level of dermal papilla cells of pati...

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress constitutes the basis for many diseases and it may account for the severity of systemic and oral disease complications. The aim of this study was to assess whether saliva may be used to detect the body's oxidative stress level. METHODS Oxidative stress was determined in saliva from 14 diabetic patients and 10 heroin addicts; two different pathologic conditions rela...

to evaluate and compare the chlorophyll content, carotenoid, protein, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase in different barley species in iran, 49 genotypes belonging to 5 barley species were employed in a completely randomized design with three replications in greenhouse conditions. a high level of within and between species variation was detected. in all the species, significant positive correla...
