conclusions our findings indicate that fullerenol nanoparticles decrease the brain infarction through enhancement of the sod activity during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. results occlusion of mca induced considerable infarction and lesion in ischemic hemispheres of control ischemic rats (527 ± 59 mm3) in accompany with a decrease in the glutathione content (45%), and sod activity (29%) ...

O2- oxidizes the [4Fe-4S] clusters of dehydratases, such as aconitase, causing-inactivation and release of Fe(II), which may then reduce H2O2 to OH- +OH.. SODs inhibit such HO. production by scavengingO2-, but Cu, ZnSODs, by virtue of a nonspecific peroxidase activity, may peroxidize spin trapping agents and thus give the appearance of catalyzing OH. production from H2O2. There is a glycosylate...

conclusions the administration of 75 mg/kg/day cinnamon significantly increased the sperm population, motility and viability, which supports the theory that in mammalians, cinnamon has a beneficial effect on spermatogenesis. results sperm quality parameters, total serum testosterone, sod, cat, and gpx levels were significantly increased in the cinnamon group in comparison to controls (p < 0.05)...
