background: iron deficiency anemia is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. evidences from epidemiological and clinical studies suggest a possible correlation between antioxidant levels and the anemic disease risk. the present work is to investigate antioxidant levels and lipid peroxidation in anemic patients. methods: a number of 30 patients (15 males and 15 females) we...

the essential oils, isolated by hydrodistillation from the leaves, seeds and rhizomes of heracleum sprengelianum (wight and arnott), collected from the western ghats of peninsula india, were analyzed by gas chromatography (gc) and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (gc–ms). the antioxidant property of these oils was tested, with and without peroxidation inducer, through the egg yol...

Sodium valproate and tomato extract have been studied in different experimental models of epilepsy individually. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of lycopene on the antiepileptic effects of sodium valproate against pentylenetetrazol-induced kindling in mice. Swiss albino mice of either sex were randomly divided into 5 groups, with each group containing 8 mice. These group...

INTRODUCTION Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance is a marker of oxidative stress and has cytotoxic and genotoxic actions. C- reactive protein is used to evaluate the acute phase of inflammatory response. OBJECTIVES To assess the thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance and C-reactive protein levels during extracorporeal circulation in patients submitted to cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS T...

The thiobarbiturates differ from other barbiturates in having a sulfur atom in place of the carbonyl oxygen at the C-2 position. The drug 2-thiobarbituric acid was found to be sufficiently soluble in 95% ethanol and 5% water for highly sensitive detection and assay. Analytical samples, including standards, were studied at 320 nanometer wavelength with background absorbance of the solvent correc...
