Chick embryo egg hydrolysates (CEEH) were obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of chick embryo egg in vitro-simulated gastrointestinal digestion. The antioxidant activities of CEEH were investigated by employing three in vitro assays, including the 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate)/1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (ABTS/DPPH)/hydroxyl radical-scavenging assays. The radical-scavenging e...

Antioxidant activity of aqueous, ethanolic and methanolic extracts of two common vegetables of North-eastern states of India, Parkia javanica and Phlogacanthus thyrsiflorus have been estimated by three different methods: DPPH free radical scavenging, FRAP and Ascorbate-Iron (III) induced lipid peroxidation inhibition assay. The activity was expressed as both mg trolox and ascorbic acid equivale...

The objective of this study was to evaluate total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of leaf and different parts of fruit (hull, shell, and kernel) of Bene in Ilam province. Total phenolic content was determined with the FolinCiocalteu Reagent (FCR); antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts were examined by DPPH (2,2diphenyl1picrylhydrazyl), FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) an...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity of the aqueous extracts of leaves of Siamese neem tree (Azadirachta indica A. Juss var. siamensis Valeton) from several extracting and drying methods using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)-scavenging assay. MATERIALS AND METHODS The leaves of Siamese neem tree were extracted using percolation, decoction, maceratio...

This study was done to assess the total phenolic compounds (TPC) and 1, 1-diphenyl-2picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity in the flowers and leaves of Clitoria ternatea and Vitex negundo Linn. by using methanol and water extraction. TPC were evaluated using Folin-Ciocalteau method. Methanol was more efficient in extracting phenolic compounds compared with water in measuring TPC. Vitex negun...

The expression of regucalcin, a regulatory protein in the intracellular signaling system, in the hearts of rats was investigated. Regucalcin expression was examined using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. Regucalcin mRNA and its protein levels in the hearts of male and female rats were significantly decreased with increasing age (50 weeks old) as compare...

The polyphenolic extracts and oils were obtained from ajwain, mustard, fenugreek and poppy seeds. The extracts were partitioned into acidic and neutral polyphenolic fractions and following estimation of total phenolics in the crude extract, acidic and neutral fractions and oil, all were analyzed for their DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging potential, ferric reducing ability and che...
