Psoriasis is one of the skin’s chronic inflammatory diseases. etiology isn’t exactly known. Recently, it has been suggested that imbalances in oxidant-antioxidant status happening because increase reactive oxygen species production (ROS) and/or deficient function regarding antioxidant system might be included psoriasis pathogenesis. The major goal to evaluate defense patients experiencing and o...

Cadmium affects human health through occupational and environmental exposure. In this report, we present the response of mitochondrial and cytoplasmic antioxidant enzymes of CRL-1439 cells exposed to different concentrations (0-150 microM) of CdCl2 for 24 h at 37 degrees C. Exposure of liver cells to 50 microM CdCl2 increased mitochondrial catalase and glutathione reductase (GR) activities more...

Phytophthora species are considered as the major cause of several plant diseases resulting in huge yield losses in agricultural crops. Despite years of effort to develop Phytophthora resistance varieties, there is no reports of a resistant cucumber variety. In this study, the effect of concomitant application of potassium phosphite (KPhi) and chitosan on some physiological and molecular respons...

homalium letestui pellegr (flacourtiaceae) is used traditionally by the ibibios of southern nigeria to treat stomach ulcer, malaria and other inflammatory diseases and yorubas of western nigeria as an antidote. the hepatoprotective effect of the stem extract (200-600 mg/kg) was evaluated by the assay of liver function parameters, namely total and direct bilirubin, serum protein and albumin, tot...

Abstract This review aimed to assess the antioxidant properties of safrole, myristicin, and terpineol from Myristica fragrans Houtt. Safrole exhibited high cytotoxic activities against numerous cancer cell lines also shown able suppress tumor angiogenesis. Myristicin is increase activity glutathione peroxidase (GPX), reductase (GR) or glutathione-disulfide-reductase (GSR), superoxide dismutase ...

background: imbalances between the oxidant-antioxidant status have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including oral cancer. majority of oral cancer are preceded by a well-recognized group of pre-malignant lesions. however, only a small fraction of those lesions, undergo malignant transformation. hence, there is a great need to identify biological markers, which will assis...

Probiotics have been found as important elements against reproductive toxicity. So the use of probiotics has increased day by to combat with several disorders related health. In current study, potential role including Lactobacillus casei (L1) and coagulans (L2) demonstrated a tetramic acid-derived pesticide Spirotetramat which cause variable toxicity at different levels in life cycle various or...

Various pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties were shown for woody endocarpium of walnut alcoholic extract (WEW). In the study, effect WEW in acetic acid induced ulcerative colitis rats was evaluated. Thiol, glutathione peroxidase (GPX), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) gastric levels pathological changes colon investigated control grou...

Objective: The purpose of the present study was investigation of eight weeks high intensity interval (HIIT) along with curcumin supplementation on liver Glutathione Peroxidase (GPX) Activity & Malondialdehyde (MDA) Concentration among diabetic male rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two male mice were divided to four groups of control-diabetic, exercise-diabetic, supplementary-diabetic, and e...

most cells at concentrations of 5 to 10 mM and has a variety of physiological functions ranging from protection of cells by serving as an antioxidant to modulation of signal transduction by controlling cellular redox state. GSH exerts its antioxidant function as a free radical scavenger and as a cofactor for antioxidant enzymes, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione S-transferase, provid...
