Effects of dietary α-linolenic acid on the fatty acid composition, storage stability and sensory characteristics of cooked pork were studied. Dietary α-linolenic acid (LNA) significantly (p < 0.05) increased the proportion of n-3 fatty acids and the degree of unsaturation in the neutral lipids and phospholipids. The increases in n-3 fatty acids were observed in the total lipids, triglycerides, ...

Meatballs were coated by gelatin-based mixes incorporated with potassium sorbate and rosemary extract. Coated samples evaluated free fatty acids (FFAs), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) content. In addition, texture profile analysis (TPA) was performed to evaluate the textural features of meatballs. Uncoated sample as control along 3 other d...

This study evaluated the effects of different parts M. paniculata (MP) extracts on convulsions and antioxidant activities in mice. Six polyphenolic compounds were identified, where epicatechin quercetin have been identified highest amounts (23.01 32.23 mg/100 g dry MP extract, respectively) leaf stem extracts, using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography. 7-day oral administration at doses 100...

BACKGROUND The present study investigates the cardioprotective effects of Hibiscus rosa sinensis in myocardial ischemic reperfusion injury, particularly in terms of its antioxidant effects. METHODS The medicinal values of the flowers of Hibiscus rosa sinensis (Chinese rose) have been mentioned in ancient literature as useful in disorders of the heart. Dried pulverized flower of Hibiscus rosa ...

Eggplant leaves (Solanum macrocarpon) are rich in nutrients which unfortunately lost during cooking. To reduce micronutrients losses and enhance antioxidant potentialities, they were cooked water for 30 minutes with onion, ginger Guinea pepper. The analyzes focused on the determination of vitamin C, β-carotene, phenolic compounds, free radical-scavenging lipid peroxidation inhibitory act...

OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of cigarette smoking on lipid peroxidation induced oxidative stress, antioxidants, uric acid and blood sugar in normal subjects. METHODS The study included 61 normal subjects with regular smoking habit and 57 never-smokers normal subjects matched in respect to socio-economic status, age and BMI. Information regarding smoking habit and other personal details wer...

isolated rat hepatocytes in culture were incubated with different concentrations of iron-sorbitol (50, 100, 150, and 200 µm) to assess the changes in reactive oxygen species (ros) and lipid peroxidation leading to apoptotic hepatocyte cell death. the viability of hepatocytes was declined depending on the iron concentration. one hour incubation of the cells with 100 µm iron resulted in decreased...

septicaemia caused by gram-negative pathogens is a dangerous infection which is associated with high incidence of liver dysfunction. the severe and acute hepatotoxicity is presumably due to massive release of endotoxin into systemic circulation after bacterial killing. the direct toxic effect of endotoxin is probably due to the increased production of reactive oxygen intermediates as o 2 - , pe...

The aim of the study was to investigate the levels of lipid peroxidation, and both plasma and erythrocyte antioxidant states in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The population consisted of 60 subjects divided into two groups, 30 subjects had evidence of rheumatoid arthritis and age and sex matched healthy subjects were studied as controls. The level of plasma and erythrocyte thiobarbituric a...
