This study shows the possibility of using gallic acid (GA) and/or methyl gallate (MG) accompanied by phosphatidylcholine (PC) instead tert-butylhydoquinone (TBHQ) for frying purposes. The antioxidants and PC were added in concentrations 1.2 mM 500–2000 mg/kg, respectively. Oxidative stability index (OSI) kinetics change conjugated dienes (LCD), carbonyls (LCO), value (AV) used to assess antioxi...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can induce intestinal inflammatory response and mucosal injury. Antioxidant transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) has been shown in our previous studies to prevent oxidative stress and inflammatory response in gut after TBI. The objective of this study was to test whether tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ), an Nrf2 inducer, can protect a...

The Forkhead transcription factor, FoxO3a induces genomic death responses in neurones following translocation from the cytosol to the nucleus. Nuclear translocation of FoxO3a is triggered by trophic factor withdrawal, oxidative stress and the stimulation of extrasynaptic NMDA receptors. Receptor activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt signalling pathways retains FoxO3a in the cyt...

considering that the involvement of oxidative stress has been implicated in the toxicity of organophosphate insecticides, the objective of the present study was to investigate antioxidants and oxidative stress markers in the liver and kidney of wistar rats treated with chronic doses of diazinon. in addition, the effect of tert-butylhydroquinone (tbhq), a food-additive antioxidant, on attenuatio...

Methamphetamine (MA) leads to cardiac and pulmonary toxicity expressed as increases in inflammatory responses and oxidative stress. However, some interactions may exist between oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). The current study is designed to investigate if both oxidative stress and ERS are involved in MA-induced chronic pulmonary toxicity and if antioxidant tertiary but...

The antioxidant effects of clove oil (CO) and clove oleoresin (COR) in two species of meat i.e. chicken and chevon during refrigerated storage (4±1°C) were investigated. The antioxidant potential (AOP) and radical scavenging activities were compared with natural (α-Tocopherol and L-ascorbic acid) and synthetic antioxidants (BHA and TBHQ). CO & TBHQ, BHA and COR and L-ascorbic acid and α-Tocophe...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a major cause of dementia in the elderly with no effective treatment. Accumulation of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) in the brain, one of the pathological features of AD, is considered to be a central disease-causing and disease-promoting event in AD. In this study, we showed that feeding male AβPP/PS1 transgenic mice, a well established mouse model of AD, with a diet contai...

The antioxidant activity of myricetin, a natural flavonol found in fruits and vegetables, was determined in soybean oil methyl esters (SME) and compared with a-tocopherol and tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) over a 90-day period employing EN 14112, acid value, and kinematic viscosity methods. Myricetin had greater antioxidant activity than a-tocopherol, but was inferior to TBHQ. Synergism was obse...

E nveloped viruses acquire a lipid membrane when they bud across a cellular membrane during virus assembly. In cell entry, the viral membrane must be fused to the host-cell membrane to deliver the viral genome into the cytoplasm for replication. Membrane fusion is therefore an essential step in the life cycle of enveloped viruses, and a great deal of research in recent years has been directed a...

Numerous Scientists have discovered the procedure of nanotechnology, explicitlynanofibers, asdrug delivery systems for transdermal uses. Nanofibers canbe used to deliver drugs and are capable of controlled release for a continued periodof time. Poly (Lactic Acid) (PLA) is the lastly interesting employed synthetic polymer in biomedical application owing to its well categorized biodegradable prop...
