The scientists at ALMPG Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Madras, Chennai, India evaluated a combination of spices (Piper nigrum Linn., P. longum Linn. and Zingiber officinale Rosc.), herbs (Cyperus rotundus Linn. and Plumbago zeylanica Linn.) and salts make up Amrita Bindu for its possible antioxidant activity. The study was focused to evaluate the antioxidant property of indi...

We study the classification problem of simple transitive 2-representations 2-category finite-dimensional bimodules over a radical square zero Nakayama algebra. This results in complete whose apex is finitary two-sided cell. define notion localization 2-representations. construct previously unknown as localizations cell Using universal property our construction we prove that any 2-representation...

Pyruvate formate-lyase (also called formate acetyltransferase; EC 2.3.1.54; PFI .) catalyses the thiolytic cleavage of pyruvate by CoA, yielding acetyl-CoA and formate. This reaction is the key step in the glucose-fermentation route in Escherichziz coli and various other bacteria. Operationally, it resembles the (B-keto)thiolase reaction of the fatty-acid degradation cycle. The mechanism of pyr...

Free radicals are implicated for many diseases including diabetes mellitus, arthritis, cancer, ageing etc. In the treatment of these diseases, antioxidant therapy has gained a great importance. Different extract (Hot water, Hydro alcoholic, Chloroform and Petroleum Ether) of Ganoderma lucidum was studied for its in vitro antioxidant activity using different models viz. DPPH radical scavenging, ...

Antioxidants play an important role in inhibiting and scavenging radicals, thus providing protection to humans against infections and degenerative diseases. The present article focuses on the synthesis and antioxidant activity studies of a variety of 2-aryl thiazolidine -4-carboxylic acids. A series of twenty fully characterized 2-aryl thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acids have been synthesized by nu...

Chan, Holly. M.S.Ch.E., Purdue University, August 2014. Correlating the Molecular Architecture of a Radical Based Copolymer with its Electrical Transport Properties. Major Professor: Dr. Bryan W. Boudouris. The design and synthesis of electrically-conductive macromolecules can lead to significant improvements in the performance of polymer-based energy conversion devices (e.g., thermoelectric de...

BACKGROUND Pterostilbene, a methoxylated analog of Resveratrol, is gradually gaining more importance as a therapeutic drug owing to its higher lipophilicity, bioavailability and biological activity than Resveratrol. This study was undertaken to characterize its ability to scavenge free radicals such as superoxide, hydroxyl and hydrogen peroxide and to protect bio-molecules within a cell against...
