Background and Aims: This study aimed to observe the effect of Icariin on histomorphometric changes of testis and prostate induced by Acrylamide. Materials and Methods: Male mice were divided into four groups (n=8): A is the control group and does not get any treatment, B is the sham group and only received drinking water. C group received Acrylamide 10 mg/kg. D group received Acrylamide 15 mg...

Acrylamide is a monomer of polyacrylamide, whose products are used in biochemistry, the manufacture of paper, water treatment, and as a soil stabilizer. While polymeric acrylamide is nontoxic, the monomer can cause several toxic effects and has the potential for human occupational exposure. While acrylamide is not mutagenic in prokaryotic mutagenesis assays, chronic acrylamide treatment in rode...

acrylamide was grafted in low density polyethylene during melt processing in the presence of a free radical initiator using a torque rheometer in a closed system. effects of processing time, acrylamide and benzoyl peroxide concentrations were studied. ftir studies revealed that the degree of grafting increased by an increase in acrylamide concentration. maximum grafting was obtained at 7 minute...

this study investigated the effect of carboxymethyl cellulose (cmc), tragacanth, and saalab hydrocolloids in two concentrations (0.3 and 0.7%) and different frying media (refined canola oil (rco), rco+1% bene kernel oil (bko), and rco+1 mg l-1 unsaponifiable matter (usm) of bko on acrylamide formation in fried potato slices. the hydrocolloid coatings significantly reduced acrylamide formation i...

background and objectives: acrylamide is a monomer which is formed in foodstuffs containing carbohydrates altered to asparagine during thermal processing. vitamin e is a component in human diet considered as the most effective lipid-soluble antioxidant found in the biological system. it prevents initiation of oxidative tissue damage. the aim of this study was to investigate the potential role o...

Background and Objective: Acrylamide is a highly soluble, widely- produced industrial and cytotoxic material. Some substances with antioxidant properties can ameliorate the deleterious effect of acrylamide. Vitamin C is necessary for the normal functioning of all cells and scavenging the free radicals due to the antioxidant properties. The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of vitam...

Acrylamide is a toxic and potentially carcinogenic chemical. It was assumed that the mechanism leading to the formation of acrylamide derived from Maillard reaction, i.e. the reaction between reducing sugars and proteins/amino acids. Acrylamide is a substance that is produced naturally in foods as a result of high-temperature cooking like baking, grilling, frying etc and it can cause cancer in ...

Background and Objectives: In the production process of foods rich in carbohydrates and some other foods containing precursors of acrylamide formation, there is the possibility of acrylamide creation, which is a mutagen and carcinogen material. This study aims to introduce and optimize a new method for determining acrylamide in potato chips using xanthydrol as a derivative representative with g...
