Deltamethrin is -cyano pyrethroid insecticide used extensively in pest control. Although initially thought to be least toxic, a number of recent reports showed its toxicity in mammalian and non-mammalian laboratory and wildlife animal species. Lycopene is the pigment that gives tomatoes their red color and is one of four main carotenoids normally found in human blood and tissue. The present stu...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare changes in total oxidative status (TOS), total antioxidative capacity (TAC) and the concentration of VitA, VitE, VitC, uric acid (UA), reduced (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in blood within 24 hours following anaerobic exercise (AnEx) among men and women. METHODS 10 women and 10 men performed a 20-second bicycle sprint (AnEx). Concentrations...

The objective of this study was to investigate the role of β-aminobutyric acid(BABA) (0, 300µM) in reduction of oxidative damages in leaves and roots of Brassica napus L. under drought stress (0, -0.2, -0.4 MPa). β-aminobutyric acid was investigated as an internal regulator hormone and its role in defense  mechanisms against biotic and abioticstresses. In this study, BABA pretreatment prevented...

abstract introduction: diabetes is one of the most common endocrine diseases spreading rapidly in the world. diabetes complications are classified into acute and chronic. non-enzymatic glycosylation of body proteins such as hemoglobin and albumin is the main cause of pathogenesis in chronic complications of diabetes. protein glycosylation is an oxidative reaction. antioxidants such as vitamin c...

Oxidant byproducts, such as superoxide anion (O2 ) and hydrogen peroxide, are produced as a consequence of normal aerobic metabolism. These molecules, which are highly reactive with other biological molecules, are referred to as reactive oxygen species (ROS). Under normal physiological conditions, ROS production is balanced by an efficient system of antioxidants, molecules that are capable of s...

Paederia foetida L. is widely used for the treatment of myriad ailments. Thus, searching plant parts having greater antioxidant potential would make it easy to get suitable materials herbal drugs. The present effort was made explore potentials in P. grown under natural conditions by means physiological and biochemical analyses. young leaves showed highest reservoir non-enzymatic antioxidants su...

This study aimed to test the role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in responses regarding nitric oxide- (NO) and sulfur (S)-mediated improvement photosynthesis growth under cadmium (Cd) stress mustard (Brassica juncea L. cv. Giriraj), integrate mechanisms S, nitrogen (N), antioxidant metabolism. The plants grown with Cd (200 mg kg−1 soil) exhibited reduced assimilation S N diminished photosynthetic pe...

Salinity stress is one of the potential threats that adversely affect productivity many cereal crops worldwide. Spraying plants with nano-Zn particles may lessen effectively such negative impacts on plants; yet its mode action still not well explored. This study was performed to evaluate effects spraying varying concentrations (0, 20, 50 and 80 mg L−1) two wheat cultivars irrigated saline water...
