We studied the effects of grape seed proanthocyanidins extract (GSPE) given as a ratio of 3 mg in 100 g in a standard diet, on the tibial bone diaphysis in low-calcium fed rats. Measurements of bone density, mineral content, geometry, and bone strength using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). Further, the whole tibia bones were tested for mechanical resistance using a material-...

Grape-seed proanthocyanidins’ role as stimulators of active GLP-1 in rats suggests that they could be effective as satiating agents. Wistar rats were used to study the effects of proanthocyanidins on food intake with different doses, administration times and proanthocyanidin extract compositions. A dose of 423 mg of phenolics per kg body weight (BW) of grape-seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE)...

Pullulans produced from the Aureobasidium pullulans fermentation of various agro-industrial wastes were characterised in terms of carbohydrate analysis. heterogeneity and molecular weights. Grape skin pulp extract (GSPE), starch waste (SW), olive oil waste effluents (OW) and molasses (M) were used as substrates for the production of pullulan. A glucose based defined medium (D) was used for comp...

background: this study examined the effect of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (gspe) on lipid peroxidation content and activity of tissue antioxidant enzymes, including catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in diabetic rats. methods: thirty male rats were divided into three groups of 10 rats each: control, diabetic and diabetic groups that received 500 mg/kg gspe for 6 w...

In this study, the La3+/Co3O4 nanoflowers were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The morphology of the La3+/Co3O4NFs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and were further used to modify the graphite screen printed electrode (GSPE). The electrochemical behavior of acetaminophen at La3+/Co<s...

Aggregation of microtubule-associated protein tau into insoluble intracellular neurofibrillary tangles is a characteristic hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases, including progressive supranuclear palsy, argyrophilic grain disease, corticobasal degeneration, frontotemporal dementias with Parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17, and Pick's disease. Tau is abnorma...

Oxidative stress is an important contributory factor resulting the development of kidney injury in patients with diabetes. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have suggested that anthocyanins, natural phenols commonly existing in numerous fruits and vegetables, exhibit important antioxidative, anti‑inflammatory and antihyperlipidemic effects; however, their effects and underlying mechanisms on...

Heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) is an important virulence factor secreted by some strains of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). The prototypic human-origin strain H10407 secretes LT via a type II secretion system (T2SS). We sought to determine the relationship between the capacity to secrete LT and virulence in porcine-origin wild type (WT) ETEC strains. Sixteen WT ETEC strains isolated from...
