Microalgae are described as a potential alternative source of bioactive compounds that environmentally friendly. Dunaliella on its own is well known due to accumulate large amounts carotenoids, especially β-carotene. Green and orange biomasses from new salina strain DunaDZ1 isolated an Algerian Salt Lake were evaluated for carotenoids composition antioxidant activity. Ultrasound-Assisted Extrac...

We supplemented diets with α-tocopheryl acetate (100 mg/kg) and replaced beef tallow (BT) in feeds with increasing doses of n-6- or n-3-rich vegetable fat sources (linseed and sunflower oil), and studied the effects on the fatty acid (FA) composition, the α-tocopherol (αT) content and the oxidative stability of rabbit plasma and liver. These effects were compared with those observed in a previo...

objective(s):astrodaucus persicus, apiaceae, is used as vegetable or food additive in some parts of iran. the essential oils of different parts of astrodaucus persicus from kordestan province were analyzed for the first time and compared with other regions. in this study, antioxidant activities and total phenols determination of aerial parts essential oils and root fractions of a. persicus were...

Because of the potential benefits to human health, there is interest in increasing 18:3n-3, 20:5n-3, 22:6n-6, and cis-9,trans-11 CLA in ruminant foods. Four Aberdeen Angus steers (406 ± 8.2 kg of BW) fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannulas were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square experiment with 21-d periods to examine the potential of fish oil (FO) and linseed oil (LO) in the diet to increase rumin...

BACKGROUND There has been growing interest in the analysis of certain polyphenols in wine, especially flavonoids, trihydroxystilbenes and phenolic acids, stimulated by intense research into their potential benefits to human health. One of their main properties in this regard is their antioxidant activity, which enables them to attenuate the development of atherosclerosis, inflammatory diseases,...

background: all-trans retinol is a biological antioxidantscavenging the ros in the cell culture. objectives: this studywas conducted to investigate the effect of all-trans retinol infertilization and culture medium on mouse embryo's developmentalcompetence. methods: this study was designed into twoexperiments. in the first experiment, in vitro mature oocytes wereco-cultured with sperm in fertil...

Dexamethasone decreases 2-D-deoxyglucose (2-dGlc) uptake and accumulation into rat peritoneal macrophages in vitro in a concentration- and time-dependent manner (Ki for 1 microM-dexamethasone after a 2 h exposure = 0.71 +/- 0.21 microM; Ki for 0.1 microM-dexamethasone after exposure for 4 h = 0.10 +/- 0.06 microM). The inhibition of 2-dGlc uptake is consistent with a decrease in the coupling be...
