Plant growth promoting endophytic bacteria (PGPB) isolated from Brassica napus were inoculated in two cultivars of Helianthus tuberosus (VR and D19) growing on sand supplemented with 0.1 mM Cd or 1 mM Zn. Plant growth, concentrations of metals and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reactive compounds were determined. Colonization of roots of H. tuberosus D19 by Pseudomonas sp. 262 was evaluated using co...

Since mushrooms have many bioactive components, they have been used as components in folk medicine. Because mycelium has an advantage when it comes to large-scale production, this study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant properties and anti-tyrosinase activity from 55 mycelia in culture media. Relatively high 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging capacity was detected from the ethanol ...

This study was aimed to determine the changes of the local anchovy meal which is known as hamsi kaygana in Turkey during cold storage at +4°C ± 1°C. Physicochemical (pH, TVB-N, TMA-N, and TBA) shelf life analyses were carried out for hamsi kaygana samples. It was confirmed that the pH values obtained from research groups were within the limit values of the literature. No statistically significa...

Objective(s) Oxidative stress plays an important role in diabetic nephropathy pathogenesis. Rosmarinic acid, a plant phenolic compound, was first used as an antioxidant agent for inhibition of diabetic nephropathy. Material and Methods Forty male rats were uninephrectomized from the left flank.The rats were divided in four groups randomly; group one as control, group two diabetic untreatment...

Chemical modifications of innate DNA/RNA aptamers facilitate the improvement their function. Herein, we report our modular strategy to manipulate a thrombin-binding DNA aptamer (TBA) improve its anticoagulation activity and binding affinity. A set amino acid conjugates, termed acid–nucleic hybrids or ANHs, was synthesized incorporated into TBA loop sequences. We found that substitutions with hy...

The current study was carried out to evaluate the shelf life of peeled shrimp during ice storage for 14 days using 125 µg/ml crude isoflavones extract (CIE), 250 moringa (CME) and a mixture both (62µg/ml CIE 25µg/ml CME), as an antioxidant antimicrobial agent. results showed that CME and/or in improved quality storage. All treated samples showed; low content total volatile nitrogen (TVN), trime...

Background/Aim: Drug-induced liver injury is one of the major causes acute failure. Under current circumstances pandemic COVID-19, use paracetamol which has a proven hepatotoxic effect increased. This prompts search for novel agents with hepatoprotective properties. The purpose this article was to evaluate activity cryoextract placenta (CEP) on model paracetamol-induced hepatitis. Methods: stud...

(ABSTRACTOxygen free radical mediated tissue injury is implicated as a major factor in the pathogenesis of the long term complications seen in the premature infant, and direct evidence of their role in the development of these long term problems is lacking. A prospective observational study of 78% of very low birthweight infants admitted to a level III neonatal intensive care unit in 1992 was u...

background: freezing is a common way and one of the best methods of seafood preservation for long periods of time; however, the freeze thawing process may influence the quality of food. objectives: oxidation and denaturation of proteins, sublimation and recrystallization of ice crystals can cause changes in the quality of the frozen products. this study was aimed to evaluate the effect of three...

Endothelial cell (EC) migration is a critical and initiating event in the formation of new blood vessels and in the repair of injured vessels. Compelling evidence suggests that oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL) is present in atherosclerotic lesions, but its role in lesion formation has not been defined. We have examined the role of oxidized LDL in regulating the wound-healing response of v...
