Fluoroquinolones are a group of antibiotics widely used because of their broad spectrum activity against both Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin were administered to rats at therapeutic doses to evaluate their effects on plasma arylesterase activity, as well as, on hepatic advanced oxidized protein products (AOPPs) and malondialdehyde (MDA) le...

background: the aim of this study was to determine oxidative stress (os) parameters after testicular torsion/detorsion in adult rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study, male adult wistar rats were divided into four groups, each consisting of seven animals: group i-one hour right testicular torsion with subsequent orchiectomy, group ii-one hour right testicular torsion followed b...

BACKGROUND This study assessed several common oxidative indices in subjects infected with intestinal parasites, as well as in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients both with and without intestinal parasites. METHOD Serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP), and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) were measured, as were plasma levels of advanced oxidation protein prod...

Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase, Protein Metabolism, Regulation, /ra/js-Cinnamic Acid, Daucus carota, Suspension Culture In vivo and in vitro experiments were performed in order to study the regulatory role of transcinnamic acid and its hydroxylated derivatives (p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid) on the deamina­ tion of phenylalanine catalyzed by PAL (EC 4.3.1.5). 7>arts-cinnamic acid inhibits growth a...

Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are the dityrosine-containing and crosslinking protein products formed during oxidative stress by reaction of plasma protein with chlorinated oxidants, and often carried by albumin in vivo. Accumulation of plasma and renal AOPPs is a common pathologic finding in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Moreover, AOPP accumulation is an independent risk ...

Oxidative stress plays a vital role in diabetic complications. To suppress the oxidative stress mediated damage in diabetic pathophysiology, a special focus has been given on composite extract (CE) and making small dose of naturally occurring antidiabetic plants leaf and fruits. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the beneficial role of CE against alloxan- (ALX-) induced diabetes of Wi...

Twin-field quantum key distribution (TF-QKD) and its variants can overcome the fundamental rate-distance limit of QKD which has been demonstrated in laboratory field while their physical implementations with side channels remains to be further researched. We find external modulation different intensity states through test, required those TF-QKD post-phase compensation, shows a channel frequency...

Triploidy is induced in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to produce sterile fish for genetic containment and hinder early sexual maturation farmed fish, but it can have unwanted negative effects on growth, health, welfare. However, the growth welfare of triploid may be improved by adjusting rearing environment, feeding conditions diets. This study evaluated physiological changes used a suite bioma...
