In the past few decades, the incidence of liver cancer has been rapidly rising across the world. Rosemary is known to possess antioxidant activity and is used as natural antioxidant food preservative. It is proposed to have anticancer activity in treating different tumor models. In this study, we try to explore the impact of rosemary extracts on upregulating the level of Nrf2 and Nrf2-regulator...

Cancer cells display enhanced growth rates and a resistance to apoptosis. The ability of cancer cells to evade homeostasis and proliferate uncontrollably while avoiding programmed cell death/apoptosis is acquired through mutations to key signaling molecules, which regulate pathways involved in cell proliferation and survival. Compounds of plant origin, including food components, have attracted ...

Results: In Study One, nursery pigs exhibiting clinical signs of PRDC and treated with THF at 165.0 ppm showed significantly better treatment success than did controls, defined as body temperature < 40oC and respiratory and depression scores < 2 on Day 17 (P < .001), with lower total percent pneumonia lesions (P < .001) and mortality (P < .05). In the THF 137.5 ppm group, total percent pneumoni...

DRAGOEV, S. G., 2008. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation of frozen mackerel by pre-storage antioxidant superficial treatment. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 14: 283-289 With the help of TBARS the antioxidative effect of rosemary extract, rutin, quercetin, sodium erythrobate, BHT, α-tocopherol and a blend, containing rosemary extract, quercetin concentrate and sodium erythrobate on the lipid peroxidation o...

Irradiated restructured pork loins treated with rosemary-tocopherol/double-packaging had lower TBARS values than vacuum-packaged control after 10 days of refrigerated storage. The rosemary-tocopherol combination, however, had no effect on the production of sulfur volatiles responsible for the irradiation off-odor, and color changes in irradiated pork. V7/A3 double-packaging was effective in red...

The antioxidant and antibacterial effect of rosemary, orange and lemon extracts was investigated in cooked Swedish-style meatballs. Activity in a lard system was established for all the extracts and further determination of the development of rancidity as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances consistently showed that about 50% of the rancidity can be controlled by the citrus preparations. Two...

OBJECTIVE We investigated endothelial function at rest and after a high-fat meal challenge in African American (AA) and Caucasian postmenopausal women matched for age, body mass index, percent fat and fitness level. DESIGN Pilot study. SETTING University of Virginia General Clinical Research Center. PARTICIPANTS Eight AA and 8 Caucasian postmenopausal women. INTERVENTION PARTICIPANTS un...

The thermic effect of food (TEF), defined as the increase in metabolic rate after ingestion of a meal, has been studied extensively, but its role in body weight regulation is controversial. We analyzed 13 1 TEF tests from a wide range of subjects ingesting meals of varying sizes and compositions. Each test lasted 6 h. Of the total 6-h TEF, 60% of the total had been measured after 3 h, 78% after...

The School Lunch Program in India (SLP) is the largest food and nutrition assistance program feeding millions of children every day. This paper provides a review of the background information on the SLP in India earlier known as national program for nutrition support to primary education (NP-NSPE) and later as mid day meal scheme, including historical trends and objectives and components/charac...

Abstract The green plant-mediated synthesis of silver (GPS-Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) has been increasingly popular due to its eco-friendliness, availability, cost-effectiveness, and the fact that it can be safely handled possesses a broad variability metabolites, such as antioxidant antimicrobial activities. In this current study, AgNPs demonstrated using aqueous extracts fresh leaves Ficus caric...
