Abstract Optimization of Ultrasound-assisted extraction parameters is necessary to determine the optimum level parameters, including solvent-to-material ratio, power, time, solvent concentration, temperature, and pH. This review focuses on UAE parameters’ effects antioxidant activity, their interactions, best method examining activity respond UAE’s optimization. It was determined that optimal t...

abstract introduction: myocardial ischemia, cerebral ischemia and myocardial infarction are the most important complications of hypertension and atherosclerotic disease in developing countries. angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) inhibitors are among the drugs used to treat hypertension and heart failure. captopril is an ace-inhibitor which also has antioxidant properties. this study was conduc...

Daily moderate intensity exercise (2 weeks of 20 min/day of treadmill training), which reduces damage to hippocampal slices from rats submitted to in vitro ischemia, did not modify oxidative stress parameters in the hippocampus nor the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in different brain regions. The aim was to investigate whether the modulation of hippocampal oxidative status and...

BACKGORUND The three stages of Snehapaka formulations namely Mridu, Madhyama and Khara Paka have been characteristically advocated for different routes of administration-Nasya, Pana/Basti and Abhyanga, respectively. Guidelines or established method for post-formulation characterization for the same is hardly available. OBJECTIVE The present communication is the comparative study of Mridu, Mad...

objective(s) comparison of prooxidant-antioxidant balance (pab) assay with crocin assay. materials and methods twenty eight serum samples were chosen, pab and the total antioxidant capacity were measured by pab assay and crocin, respectively, and the correlation of both assays, along with their correlation with other clinical and biochemical parameters, were determined. results a significant ne...

This work was performed to study the effect of allicin on hypertension and cardiac function in a rat model of CKD. The groups were control, CKD (5/6 nephrectomy), and CKD-allicin treated (CKDA) (40 mg/kg day/p.o.). Blood pressure was monitored (weekly/6 weeks). The cardiac function, vascular response to angiotensin II, oxidative stress, and heart morphometric parameters were determined. The CKD...
