The body's total antioxidant capacity represents a sum of the antioxidant capacity of various tissues/organs. A decrease in the body's antioxidant capacity may induce oxidative stress and subsequent metabolic syndrome, a clustering of risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The skin, the largest organ of the body, is one of the major components of the body's total antioxida...

INTRODUCTION The transcription factor NFE2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a central regulator of antioxidant and detoxification gene expression in response to electrophilic or oxidative stress. Nrf2 has recently been shown to cross-talk with metabolic pathways, and its gene deletion protected mice from high-fat-diet-(HFD-) induced obesity and insulin resistance. This study aimed to identify potenti...

Lignocelluloses materials were selected for ethanol production, but certain problems occurred, such as the hydrolysis and detoxification process. A biological flocculation technology was to apply for the detoxification of acid hydrolyzate of lignocelluloses materials. Meanwhile chitosan was confirmed as the best biological flocculant which showed good detoxification effect. In order to reach th...

UNLABELLED Genomic data predict that, in addition to oxygen, the bacterial plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum can use nitrate (NO3(-)), nitrite (NO2(-)), nitric oxide (NO), and nitrous oxide (N2O) as terminal electron acceptors (TEAs). Genes encoding inorganic nitrogen reduction were highly expressed during tomato bacterial wilt disease, when the pathogen grows in xylem vessels. Direct measu...

STUDY OBJECTIVE We evaluate the effectiveness and safety of emergency medical services (EMS) provider use of a checklist to triage alcohol-inebriated patients directly to a detoxification facility, rather than an emergency department (ED). METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted of all patients evaluated during a 2-year period, from 2003 to 2005, by EMS providers who used a detoxif...

Alcohol Health & Research World lcohol detoxification can be defined as a period of medical treatment, usually including counseling, during which a person is helped to overcome physical and psychological dependence on alcohol (Chang and Kosten 1997). The immediate objectives of alcohol detoxification are to help the patient achieve a substancefree state, relieve the immediate symptoms of withdr...

Herbicides play an important role in preventing crop yield losses due to both their weed interference ability and capacity for increasing soil conservation no-till systems. Group A herbicides or acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) are essential tools the selective management of glyphosate resistance grass species. In this review, we describe aspects ACCase biology targeting enzyme, along with a dis...

Introduction. In extreme conditions of martial law, a person’s life is under constant threat, which leads to chronic stress, reduces the activity immune system and contributes development diseases depression. Problem. Taking into account complexity law in Ukraine, it extremely important provide population with sufficient balanced nutrition necessary preserve health citizens, as well possible al...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are widespread persistent pollutants deleterious for environment and very dangerous human kind. As the bioremediation of PCB polluted sites by model white-rot fungi is still unsatisfactory, use efficient native strains which have natural capacity to develop on may constitute a relevant alternative strategy. In this study, we isolated 12 fungal from contaminated ...
