Cymbopogon citratus, better known as lemongrass, is a plant commonly used for culinary purposes. It is known to contain the compound citronellal, which is responsible for the lemon-scent of many of the plants of the genus Cymbopogon. A chloroform extract of Cymbopogon citratus was screened to determine its free radical scavenging activities. Three different methods were used to test the antioxi...

Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) has been a versatile tool to study transport and reaction kinetics in live cells. Since the fluorescence data generated by fluorescence microscopy are in a relative scale, a wide variety of scalings and normalizations are used in quantitative FRAP analysis. Scaling and normalization are often required to account for inherent properties of diffus...

FRAP (fluoride-resistant acid phosphatase)-reactivity in the substantia gelatinosa of the mouse spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis (STNC) was examined by light and electron microscopy. Degenerated figures of terminals caused by capsaicin were compared with the FRAP-positive terminals. Scalloped (fan-like) or indented, sinuous, slender, and cap-like figures with closely packed agranular synaptic...

Susceptibility to mouse plasmacytomagenesis is a complex genetic trait controlled by several Pctr loci (Pctr1, Pctr2, etc). Congenic strain analysis narrowed the genetic interval surrounding the Pctr2 locus, and genes identified in the interval were sequenced from susceptible BALB/c and resistant DBA/2 mice. Frap (FKBP12 rapamycin-associated protein, mTOR, RAFT) was the only gene differing in a...

Protein hydrolysates and peptides can show biological activities, pulsed ultrasound improves bioactivities. Among matrices from which protein be obtain, chickpea is an excellent source. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect on globulin concentrate obtain hydrolysate (HGb) peptide fractions their bioactivity. Antioxidant activity by ABTS (2,2′-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline...

Osmotic drying of celery leaves was studied in two osmotic solutions (ternary aqueous solution and sugar beet molasses), at three temperatures (20, 35, 50?C), diverse immersion periods (1, 3, 5 hours). The aim to examine the influence used hypertonic agent, temperature time on antioxidant capacity (AOC) color characteristics samples. AOC assessed by spectrophotometric assays (ABTS, FRAP, DPPH),...

BACKGROUND Garlic has anti allergic, anti-tumour and chemo preventive effect. Turmeric analgesic, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, immunomodulatory activities. Spirulina antioxidant, immunomodulatory, anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial effects. Honey antimicrobial, antiinflammatory. The purpose of this study was to prepare herbal formulations garlic, turmeric, honey, spirulina analyse its ME...

Ginger has been proven to possess various therapeutic effects, including antibacterial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. However, data on the comparison of ginger activity with that other natural products are still lacking. This study aimed analyse compare properties two types Malaysian extracts (GE1 GE2) selected products. The activities were measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-p...

Different extraction techniques were used to exploit fruit processing residues for their use as a source of phenolic compounds. Three different methods, namely microwave-assisted (MAE), subcritical water (SWE), and maceration (M), assessed gauge respective efficacies. Total content (TPC) total flavonoid (TFC), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), radical scavenging activity ABTS assay eval...
