There have been very limited reports on the effects of commercial fruit juices on human CYP3A activity. Therefore, the inhibitory effects of readily available commercial fruit juices on midazolam 1'-hydroxylase activity, a marker of CYP3A, were evaluated in pooled human liver microsomes. The fruit juices investigated were black raspberry, black mulberry, plum, and wild grape. White grapefruit, ...

Price and availability of pomegranate juice (PJ) are indeed two major issues. The daily cost of PJ consumption is ranging from 0.5 to 1 $ per day, according to the dose used. PJ is available in almost all Western and several Asian countries. PJ is preserved in deep refrigeration and is readily available during the entire year. PJ circulates mainly in two forms: pure juice in 200 to 500 mL bottl...

HIGHLIGHTS The use of grape molasses and other additives reduced the cake brightness. Enriched samples had higher ash crude protein content than control samples. All increased total phenolic antioxidant activity (p<0.05) Pomegranate seed flaxseed improved Ca, P K contents cakes.

Using a sequential in vitro/in vivo approach, we tested the ability of botanical extracts to influence biomarkers associated with bone resorption and bone formation. Pomegranate fruit and grape seed extracts were found to exhibit anti-resorptive activity by inhibiting receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) expression in MG-63 cells and to reduce IL-1β-stimulated calvarial (45)Ca...

Ruthenium N719 is a well-known material used as the dye in commercial dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) devices. However, it poses risks to human health and environment over time. On other hand, titanium dioxide (TiO2) has low electron mobility high recombination losses when photoanode this photovoltaic technology device. In addition, using harms health. As an alternative sensitizer compensate o...

The earliest evidence at beginning hails south Iberia where it spread northward along peninsula’s eastern edge. different fruits (grape, olive, fig, almond, pomegranate apple/pear) arrived together in certain areas spite uneven distribution acceptance by l...

BACKGROUND Plants produce secondary metabolites that often possess widespread bioactivity, and are then known as phytochemicals. We previously determined that several phytochemical-rich food-derived preparations were active against pathogenic foodborne bacteria. Trichomonads produce disease (trichomoniasis) in humans and in certain animals. Trichomonads are increasingly becoming resistant to co...
