The purpose of the study was to investigate potential feeding laying hens with ground flax, a combination flax cake and oil in production eggs enriched omega-3 fatty acids. experiment set up using 192 divided into 4 groups: control group; group fed flaxseed (10%) + (2%); 5% 10% flax. Each had 8 cages housing 6 hens, that is, total 48 per group. Haugh unit values, fat content, Thiobarbituric aci...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of wild indigo (Baptisia tinctoria) root extract as a functional food material, in terms antioxidant and skin health-related activities. Both water ethanol (50/50, v/v) extracts showed high phenol content. They were evaluated for activity, such 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2?-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), protect...

Oral administration of cadmium (6mg/kg body weight/day) as cadmium chloride (CdCl2) for 30 days resulted in a significant increase in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) level and a decrease in the levels of copper, zinc, iron, selenium, glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase when compared to normal control. Administration of either Liv-52 alone or in co...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the antidiabetic and renal protective effect of Momordica dioica extract (MDMtE) in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. MDMtE treatment markedly reduced serum glucose, increased serum insulin and urea levels. Study results indicated that the antioxidant enzyme activity of kidney was increased, while thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were r...

OBJECTIVE We investigated the effect of a moderate mutivitamin and mineral supplementation containing mainly vitamin C (150.0 mg.day(-1)), vitamin E (24.0 mg.day(-1)) and beta-carotene (4.8 mg.day(-1)) prior to and during an extreme running competition -the Marathon des Sables (MDS)- that consisted of six long races in the desert. METHODS Seventeen athletes participated in our double blind, p...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate an increase in plasma concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances as a non-invasive biochemical test of reperfusion after thrombolysis and to investigate the relation between the inflammatory response after acute myocardial infarction and the production of the substances. METHODS Venous samples were taken from 19 patients receiving thrombolysis for acute my...

Natural preservatives such as essential oils can be used alternatives to chemical additives which could extend the shelf life of various food products. The knowledge about them have important economic responsiveness by a decrease spoilage-induced losses. purpose current study was investigate content 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in grapes...

Water extracts from selected Dracaena plants cultivated in greenhouse conditions were evaluated for antioxidant properties by vitro methods using the muscle tissue of Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus Mitchill). The level 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and total capacity (TAC) after treatment derived leaves (in final concentration 10 mg.mL-1) assessed. When was incubate...

Isolated rat hepatocytes in culture were incubated with different concentrations of iron-sorbitol (50, 100, 150, and 200 µM) to assess the changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation leading to apoptotic hepatocyte cell death. The viability of hepatocytes was declined depending on the iron concentration. One hour incubation of the cells with 100 µM iron resulted in decreased...
