This study was designed to investigate the in vitro and in vivo antioxidant activities of inulin. The in vitro assays demonstrated that the antioxidant activities of inulin, including the DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS scavenging activity and ferric reducing power, were weak and significantly lower than those of Vitamin C (P < 0.05). The influence of dietary supplementation with inulin ...

Ghrelin is a regulatory peptide with specific anti-oxidative effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the activity of two antioxidant enzymes includes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in erythrocyte of newly-hatched chicken following in ovo administration of ghrelin. The fertilized eggs were divided into four experimental groups; control G1 (without injection...

 Gametes were collected by abdominal massage from 15 anesthesized male and female grass carp. In collected sperm samples the following mean spermatological properties were determined: sperm volume 15.64 ± 5.39 mL, sperm motility 81.20 ± 7.61%, motility duration 62.06 ± 19.40s, density 17.88±5.48 x109 mL-1, total density 428.90±302.05 x109, and pH 7.25±0.81. Also egg size (mm) and fecundity (egg...

background &amp; aim: strawberry (fragaria vesca l.) is a plant belonging to the rosaceae family with medicinal properties, including antioxidant activity. the present study aimed at investigating the antioxidant properties of strawberry. experimental method: to examine the antioxidant effect, fruit extracts at two phonological stages of growth (ripe and unripe strawberry) were prepared. in add...

a seven-week trial was carried out to investigate the possibility of enriching eggs with vitamin e, inorganic and organic selenium added to the laying hen’s diet and lipid stability of enriched eggs during storage. seventy two hy-line w-36 hens were divided into six equal groups. each groups received one of the treatment diets which included control, 0.4 mg/ kg sodium selenite or selenium yeast...

Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is a metalloprotein and functions as an antioxidant enzyme. In this study, we used lentiviral vectors to generate transgenic chickens that express the human EC-SOD gene. The recombinant lentiviruses were injected into the subgerminal cavity of freshly laid eggs. Subsequently, the embryos were incubated to hatch using phases II and III of the surrogate...

Polyphenolics, which are ubiquitous in plants, currently are among the most studied phytochemicals because of their perceptible chemical properties and antioxidant activity. Oak barrels and their alternatives, which are widely used in winemaking nowadays, contribute polyphenolics to wines and are thought to play crucial roles in the development of wines during aging. This study summarizes the d...

In this study, physico-chemical properties of honeys samples obtained from different locations of Turkey were investigated. Moisture, diastase activity, Hydroxy Methyl Furfural (HMF), viscosity, acidity, total glucose+fructose, protein and ash contents of honey samples ranged from 17.1% to 20.0%, 10.9 to 17.9, 1.34 to 31.28 mg/kg, 2.48 to 8.42 Pa s, 18.2 to 47.5 meq/kg, 51.31% to 68.30%, 0.60% ...
