Introduction: It is believed that prolonged and intensive exercise training may induce tissue damages due to production of free radicals and other reactive oxygen radicals. Antioxidant capacity status in Zourkhaneh (traditional wrestling) sportsmen has not been studied to date therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare of antioxidant characteristics and cardiovascular risk factors o...

Background: The general tendency of society in the use of natural extracts as antimicrobial, antioxidant and preservative compounds has increased in recent years. Objective: The purpose of this study is to improve the functional properties of two native plants (Hyssopus officinalis and Eryngium caeruleum M.Bieb) of the country that was accomplished by comparing the increasing stability of the a...

Arsenic (As) stress, through the creation of oxidative stress, can cause phytotoxicity (e.g. The decrease of growth and chlorophyll content) in plants. Nitric oxide (NO), by promotion of the antioxidant system, plays an important role in reducing heavy metal-induced oxidative stress. In this study, the role of exogenously applied sodium nitroprusside (SNP; a NO donor) on physiological responses...

Background and Aim: Epidemiological findings have shown that consuming foods and beverages having high levels of phenolic compounds decreases the risk of many diseases such as cardiovascular ones. During recent years, there has been considerable interest in identifying natural sources with antioxidant activities to prevent oxidative stress- induced damages. The aim of this study was to measure ...

Introduction: Marine macro algae used in pharmaceutical, medical, food, cosmetics and health. Bioactive compounds in seaweeds have widespread the effects of antibacterial, antitumor, antifungal, antioxidant and anticancer. In this study, the antioxidant properties of the extracts of Cystoseira trinodis collected from the Chabahar Bay were studied. Methods: In this experimental study, methanol,...
