oxygen free radicals may be implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia reperfusion damage. as the antioxidant effects of some species of pistacia have been reported, the protective effects of pistacia vera l. gum extract (0.1-0.5 g/kg) on oxidative damage following cerebral ischemia were studied in rats. ischemia was induced using four-vessel occlusion model and evaluated using measurement of m...

This study was conducted to evaluate the cytoprotection of various extracts and bioactive compounds found in Pistacia vera againts cytotoxicity, ROS formation, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, mitochondrial and lysosomal membrane damages in cell toxicity models of diabetes related carbonyl (glyoxal) and oxidative stress (hydroperoxide). Methanol, water and ethyl acetate were used to p...

The effect of different air temperatures (40, 50, 60 and 70°C), air velocities (1 and 2 m/s) and bed depth (monolayer, 3 and 5 cm) on drying kinetics and lipid quality (peroxide value and free fatty acids) of a variety of Persian Pistachio nuts (Abasali variety) were studied. Additionally, effective diffusivity (D ) was determined eff by using Fick’s second law varied from 7.061×10 to 2.105×10 ...
