Agricultural workers are in danger of being exposed to toxic substances such as pesticides. To estimate the individual handling pesticides, bio-monitoring effects on agricultural is required. There has been no research previously conducted among Libyan workers. This was designed study biochemical parameters impacts pesticide contamination at Aljebal Alakhtar, Libya. 45 blood samples were taken ...

As a consequence of enhanced production of oxygen free radicals, lipid peroxidation leads to the degradation of membrane lipids and disturbances of membrane permeability. Lipid peroxidation increases under stress conditions such as hypoxia, ischemia or acidosis as well as in metabolic diseases, e.g. diabetes mellitus. We have shown that subcomatous doses of insulin (6.0 IU/kg) significantly inc...

It is documented that chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) combines enhanced oxidative stress with altered muscle excitability. We hypothesized that these disorders may be accentuated when severe infection preceded the CFS symptoms. This case-control study compared 55 CFS patients to a matched control group of 40 healthy subjects. In twenty-five CFS patients, severe infection was reported within the ...

OBJECTIVE We determined the calcium activated adenosine triphosphatase (Ca-ATPase) activity and level of lipid peroxidation thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) of red blood cell ghosts in the antepartum and postpartum of normotensive and preeclamptic pregnant women. METHODS Samples of venous blood were obtained by venipuncture of nulliparous normotensive and preeclamptic pregnant ...

Malondialdehyde (MDA) is one of the most commonly reported biomarkers of lipid peroxidation in clinical studies. The reaction of thiobarbituric acid (TBA) with MDA to yield a pink chromogen attributable to an MDA-TBA₂ adduct is a common assay approach with products being quantified by ultraviolet-Vis assay as nonspecific TBA-reactive substances (TBARS) or chromatographically as MDA. The specifi...

Anogeissus latifolia is widely used in the Indian indigenous system of medicine and is reported to contain leucocyanidins and tannoid principles like ellagic acid and its derivatives. In view of its wide use and its chemical composition, this study was aimed at examining the antioxidant activity of the extract of A. latifolia. The extract was studied for total antioxidant capacity, hydrogen-don...

This study evaluates the effects of gelatin coating enriched with ethanolic propolis extract (PE) at 1%, 2% or 3% (w/v) on quality parameters pork meat during storage 2 °C. Physical (pH, weight loss, color) and chemical (percentage contents metmyoglobin (MetMb), along thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)) were measured, microbiological (total aerobic plate count (TAPC)) analysis, as ...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of a low polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) 21 diet versus a highPUFA diet on lipid peroxidation and on low density and very low density lipoprotein (LDL + VLDL) oxidation in vivo. Rats were fed 10% beef tallow (BT) or 10% soybean oil (SO) diet for 21 weeks. Lipid peroxidation was measured by assessing urinary 24 excretions of secondary lipid per...

Objective Heliciopsis terminalis (Kurz.) Sleum (family Proteaceae) is distributed in India, Mianma, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and China. In Vietnamese traditional medicine, it used as an antidote for detoxifying the liver alcohol, a contraceptive, to treat infections. The purpose of this study determine chemical constituents plant, well their vitro hepatoprotective antioxidant activities. Me...
