Acrylonitrile (ACN) is a volatile, toxic liquid used as a monomer in the manufacture of synthetic rubber, styrene plastics, acrylic fiber and adhesives. ACN is a potent neurotoxin and a carcinogen, which produces tumors in rats, particularly gliomas of the brain. A role for free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation in the toxicity of ACN has been suggested. We examined the ability of taurine, an...

Introduction The etiology of most joints’ inflammations is unknown. Arthritis in children can have a diversified course. Various parameters useful in diagnosis and treatment of different forms of inflammations of the joints are being researched. Reactive oxygen species in large concentrations are toxic and cause, among others, the phenomenon of polyunsaturated fatty acids lipid peroxidation, wh...

conclusions the results of the present investigation suggest that sac could be used as a food supplement in the treatment of diabetes characterized by provoked antioxidant status, altered blood glucose, and hormones level. results the levels of glucose, cyp2e1 activity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars), hydroperoxide, and ceruloplasmin were increased significantly; whereas, the l...

Many free radicals are generates in the human body due to metabolic processes and order counteract harmful effects of these antioxidants, has a complex system natural enzymatic non-enzymatic antioxidant defenses or mechanisms. These mainly responsible for generation different types diseases disorders. Hence protection against radical is important which can also be done by taking diet with maxim...

Natural antioxidants compounds are present in leaf, rhizome, stem, fruits, vegetables, tea etc. They are recognized as important compounds in conferring stability against oxidation in vitro. Natural antioxidant compounds can be classified into Exogenous antioxidants and Endogenous antioxidants, Enzymatic and NonEnzymatic antioxidants. Naturally occurring antioxidants compounds are carotenoids, ...

background free radicals are known as atoms and molecules which are highly reactive with the body’s single-electrons, and may cause irrecoverable damages to the macromolecules of organisms. systems to deal with damages caused by free radicals are known as “antioxidant immune systems”. flavonoids and polyphenolic compounds are from non-enzymatic antioxidants which many nutritional compounds cont...

.. Background: Leukemia is a hematological malignancy i.e. that arises in the blood progenitor cells. It is a tumor of white blood cells which is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of immature hematopoietic WBCs in bone marrow. Leukemia is of two types myeloid and lymphoid and two subtypes acute and chronic. Acute lymphoid leukemia is most common in children. There are certain risk fac...

Mucuna pruriens Linn., a leguminous plant, has been recognized as an aphrodisiac and spermatogenic agent. Protective efficacy of M. pruriens on reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced pathophysiological alterations in structural and functional integrity of epididymal sperm in aged Wister albino rat was analysed. Animals were grouped as groups I, II, III and IV, i.e. young (control), aged, aged tr...

The combined effect of salicylic acid (SA) (100, 200 and 400 ppm) and water stress (waterlogging and drought) on growth, reactive oxygen species generation and activities of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants were studied in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) leaves.The results proved that the interaction of salicylic acid with water stress significantly increased total protein content and de...
