L-3-n-butylphthalide (L-NBP), an extract from seeds of Apium graveolens Linn (Chinese celery), has been shown to have neuroprotective effects on cerebral ischemic, vascular dementia and amyloid-beta (Abeta)-induced animal models by inhibiting oxidative injury, neuronal apoptosis and glial activation, regulating amyloid-beta protein precursor (AbetaPP) processing and reducing Abeta generation. T...

En la investigación se determinó influencia del tiempo, temperatura y dosis de H2SO4 en las características celulosa concentración glucosa el pretratamiento ácido los residuos apio, tal manera que apio pretratados tengas mejores condiciones para hidrólisis posterior fermentación, tener como producto final etanol. La parte experimental consistió colectar preparar reactivo DNS elaborar curva cali...

The present study investigated in vitro a-amylase, lipase, antioxidant activities (DPPH, metal chelating, FRAP) Allium cepa L., ...

Apium graveolens Linn. (Apiaceae) is an indigenous plant of the North and South Americas, Southern Europe, and Asia and has been widely used as a food or a traditional medicine for treatment of inflammation and arthritis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effects of a methanolic extract of A. graveolens (AGE) against liver oxidative stress in an adjuvant-induced arthr...

Pesticides have been used for decades to protect agricultural products and increase productivity by controlling crop pests. However, the frequent application of pesticides on crops or soil leads accumulation their residues in environment, which will be subsequently absorbed plants finally translocated edible parts. This study aimed investigate uptake soil-applied dinotefuran three major metabol...

In celery (Apium graveolens L.), the two major translocated carbohydrates are sucrose and the acyclic polyol mannitol. Their metabolism, however, is different and their specific functions are uncertain. To compare their roles in carbon partitioning and sink-source transitions, developmental changes in (14)CO(2) labeling, pool sizes, and key enzyme activities in leaf tissues were examined. The p...

The pea leafminer, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae), is an important pest of leafy greens in the Holland Marsh, Bradford, Ontario, and was Þrst discovered in this area in 1998. A 2-yr study was undertaken to document the parasitoid complex of this recent addition to leafminer guild in Ontario and examine endoparasitoids reared from pea leafminer pupae collected from eig...
