objective: elevated amino acid homocysteine (hcy) levels and insufficient physical activity are the risk factors in alzheimer disease (ad) development. the effect of intermittent aerobic training on memory retention test and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars) and superoxide dismutase (sod) levels in the dorsal hippocampus of rats which were stimulated with hcy is investigated. meth...

Moringa oleifera is a crop that has spread throughout the tropics worldwide and its seeds are non-conventional source of edible oil. The objective this study was to evaluate oxidative stability fatty acid profile M. oil under frying conditions for an extended time. Typical parameters used characterize assess quality oils were evaluated following standard methods such as saponification value. In...

the intake of antioxidants intake has been reported to be inversely associated with the incidence of coronary artery disease. to clarify the possible role of lipophilic antioxidants in prevention of atherosclerosis, we investigated the effects of lycopene on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (ldl) to oxidative modification. in this study, “lycopene” was added to plasma and incubated...

BACKGROUND Currently available clinical tools cannot accurately identify the extent of perinatal hypoxic injuries. During hypoxia, reactive oxygen species cause lipid peroxidation of cell membranes, yielding oxidation products that constitute thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS). OBJECTIVE To see if the concentrations of TBARS excreted in urine would be elevated during the first da...

Skinless breast fillets were harvested from broilers fed with 0, 0.25, 0.5, or 1.0% conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) for 3 weeks. Fillets were either vacuum or aerobically packaged, then irradiated at 0 or 3.0 kGy using a Linear Accelerator. Breast fillets were analyzed for thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), volatile profiles, and color at 0 and 7 days of storage at 4°C. Dietary CLA...

The prophylactic or curative antioxidant efficacy of crude extract and the active constituent of S. nigrum leaves were evaluated in modulating inherent antioxidant system altered due to immobilization stress in rat brain tissues, in terms of measurement of glutathione (GSH), lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, TBARS), and free radical scavenging enzymes activities. Rats...

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate preventive effects Taurine against 2,3,7,8-tetracholorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced organ damage in rats. environmental toxin TCDD has a high toxicity animal and human tissues. is an amino acid found cells that antioxidant properties anti-inflammatory. As result, potential effect taurine on oxidative stress caused by investigated rat liver k...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to measure the extent of oxidative stress and to see whether it has any correlation to changes in adiponectin levels in NAFLD subjects with and without Type 2 diabetes. METHODS Subjects recruited from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study comprise of 1: Normal Glucose Tolerance (NGT) subjects without NAFLD; 2: NGT with NAFLD; 3: Type 2 Diabetic patients...

Free radical-mediated oxidative stress has been implicated in the etiopathogenesis of several autoimmune disorders. Hypothyroidism in humans is widely believed to impair health. The biochemical factors mediating decline in health, however, are poorly elucidated. Pathological consequences of hypothyroidism point to a high potential for antioxidant imbalance. The study population consisted of 60 ...

In this study, the physicochemical characteristics of pork loin, beef and chicken breast with various wet aging periods were analyzed to derive an appropriate period for each livestock. Pork loin stored at 4°C 0, 1, 2 weeks, was 2, 3, 4 proximate compositions, water holding capacity (WHC), cooking yield, shear force, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)...
