conclusions consumption of ole after tumor transplantation reduced the tumor growth. on the other hand, owing to its highly-packed polyphenols, catalase and superoxide dismutase activities in tumor tissue were increased. results treatment with 150 and 225 mg/kg/day of ole reduced the tumor volume and weight (p < 0.05) compared to the first group significantly. it also increased the cat activity...

Cabbage seedlings grown in vitro were exposed to excess levels of heavy metals, including Cd, Mo, and Zn. High metal levels affected plant growth at cotyledonary stage. Seedlings under Cd, Mo, and Zn treatments could not produce root hairs and true leaves. Under stress conditions, seedlings accumulated a higher amount of anthocyanins in their cotyledons than those in the control. The pigments i...

This study was conducted to observe the association between antioxidant enzyme activity, free iron content and lipid oxidation of Korean native chicken (KNC) meat during refrigerated storage. Four lines of KNC (Yeonsan ogye, Hyunin black, Hoengseong yakdak and Hwangbong) were raised under similar conditions. A total of 16 roosters were randomly sampled and slaughtered at the age of 12 mon. The ...

Background: Withania somnifera L. Dunal, (Ashwagandha) belongs to the family Solanaceae and is known as ‘Indian ginseng’ in the traditional system of medicine. Objectives: In the present investigation, comparative analysis was carried out between two different ecotypes of W. somnifera related to total soluble protein and antioxidant enzyme activity [catalase (CAT), s...

abstract this experiment was carried out to determine the effects of proline and ascorbic acid on chilling injury, electrolyte leakage, lipid peroxidation, peroxide hydrogen and antioxidant enzymes activity of thompson grape (vitis vinifera l.) fruit. grape fruits were treated by 0 (control), 250 and 500 µm proline and 0 (control), 2 and 4% ascorbic acid and their combinations, then stored at 1...

to study the effect of salinity on physiological and morphological traits of chickpea in 2010 at faculty of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran with seven chickpea genotypes. two experiments design was rcbd with 3 replications and 5 levels of salinity stress (ctrl, 200, 150, 100, 50 mm) for laboratory experiment on germination indices and greenhouse experiment on physiologic...

to find out the effect of sodium nitroprusside (snp) in reducing oxidative damage induced by salinity stress in barley seedlings, a crd based factorial experiment with three replications was conducted in agronomy laboratory of the faculty of agricultural sciences, university of guilan, in 2012. the experimental design consisted of two snp levels (0.1 and 0.2 mm snp; as nitric oxide (no) donor) ...
