nineteen bread wheat genotypes were selected to examine the effect of glycine betaine (gb, 100 mm) on various photosynthetic gas exchange parameters under drought stress and to study the relationship of these parameters with non-enzymatic antioxidants. drought stress caused a significant decline in net co2 assimilation rate (pn), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular co2 concentration (ci) a...

This research was carried out to study the effect of ageing on antioxidant and biochemical changes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds. The experiment laid out in completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications in Islamic Azad University, Boroujerd Branch, Boroujerd, Iran in 2015. The seeds of wheat (cv Sardari) were harvested at maturity and ageing treatments were done at 43° C wit...

objective(s):hyperglycemia mediated oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications like nephropathy. in the present study, we evaluated the effect of ethanolic extract of ensete superbum seeds (esse) on renal dysfunction and oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. materials and methods:glucose, hba1c, total protein, albumin, renal function mark...

G. gynandra extract was found to potentially diminish the rate of lipid peroxidation, with a significant increase in the levels of enzymatic (superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase) and non-enzymatic (reduced glutathione vitamins E and C, and uric acid) antioxidants, which were found, altered during aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) injection. The result confirmed that G. gynandra extract ...

The objective of this study was to characterize the non-enzymatice and enzymatic antioxidants of E. littorale Blume grown under wild condition. Aerial and sub-aerial parts of the plants exposed to different heat stress was analyzed for the non enzymatic antioxidants such as Tocopherol, Phenols, DPPH, FRAP and enzymatic antioxidants such as Polyphenol oxidase, Peroxidase, Catalase, Super Oxide D...

Abstract Salicornia europaea L. is a common halophytic plant species distributed in many saline soils and habitats, including margins of many wetlands. Salicornia europaea grows around Mighan Wetland, a natural desert ecosystem in central Iran with fluctuating water levels due to constant heat and severe wind throughout the year. Although, aspects of biology and ecology of halophytes growi...

Annona squamosa is known for its antioxidant, antidiabetic and wound healing activity. We examined the efficacy of A. squamosa on the levels of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants during wound repair in normal and streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. An excision wound was made on the back of rat and 200 μL (100 mg/kg b.wt) of A. squamosa extract was applied topically once daily for the tr...

Piper species, commonly used in diet and traditional medicine were assessed for their antioxidant potential. Catalase activity was predominated in Piper longum, followed by Piper cubeba, green pepper, Piper brachystachyum and Piper nigrum. P. nigrum was richest in glutathione peroxidase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, green pepper was richest in peroxidase and vitamin C while vitamin E w...

Plants are exposed to different ecological stress during their life cycle, and because of these tensions, free radicals shaped. Reactive oxygen species(ROS) have a fundamental ability support typical plant improvement tolerance. The disruption the proportionality ROS generation antioxidant defense systems is one primary effects biotic abiotic stress, resulting in an excess buildup oxidative dam...
