the effects of dietary supplementation of grape seed extract (gse) and vitamin c on carcass characteristics, gut morphology and ileal microflora in broiler chickens exposed to chronic heat stress were examined. experimental diets included a control diet (without additive), 3 levels of gse (150, 300, 450 mg/kg of diet), and vitamin c (300 mg/kg of diet). each of the five diets was fed to 5 repli...

Background and aims: The consumption of grape seed nanoparticles extract can control cardiovascular risk factors. Exercise plays a protective role against disease. Therefore, the aim present study was to investigate effect eight-week resistance training (RT) use on mitochondrial biogenesis heart tissue in myocardial infarction (MI) models. Methods: In this experimental study, 25 rats were rando...

Grape seed oil is a product resulting from the processing of grape marc. It is ever more appealing for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries: the pharmaceutical activities concern its antioxidant properties, due to the large content of unsaturated fatty acids. Grape seed oil could be extracted mechanically by pressing or chemically by means of solvents. Among the latter, supercritical CO2 ...

A wide variety of phytochemicals, mostly flavonoids or polyphenolics, have been shown to possess anticarcinogenic activities. Among these are the grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSPs), which are the active ingredients of grape seed extract (GSE). Substantial in vitro and preclinical in vivo studies have shown the chemopreventive efficacy of GSPs against various forms of cancers in different tumor...

Background: Fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, has been prescribed for the treatment of depression and has shown also efficacy in the treatment of bulimia nervosa and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Grape seed extract is a natural extract from the seeds of graps. It contains the most beneficial groups of plant flavonoids, proanthocyanidins oligomers. These flavonoids are poten...

BACKGROUND: Autoxidation is an irreversible reaction which occurs with the effect of oxygen in the air, and results in unpleasant taste and smell that are known as the signs of rancidity in oil. OBJECTIVES: In this study, the antioxidant potential of clove, summer savory and tarragon essential oils (EOs) in grape seed oil was evaluated. METHODS: Effects of EOs at different concentrations (0.3, ...

This paper discusses two common problems, “weld tenting” and low coating thickness over the external weld, and their causes in traditional three layer polyolefin pipeline coatings. To tackle these problems, a new approach to applying multilayer polyolefin coating to pipes is introduced. The new system consists of side-extruding high density polyethylene over a graded structure polyethylene (GSP...

Antifungal activity of Embelia ribes was evaluated on eight different fungal species by employing various concentrations of seed extract (0.5-2.0 mg). All the concentrations of seed extract inhibited the fungal growth, whereas maximum activity was observed at 2.0 mg concentration of seed extract. Among different doses, the diameter of inhibition zones ranged from 9 to 18 mm in various fungal sp...
