Antioxidant capacity

This study aimed to quantify the phenolic contents and the antioxidant capacities of leaf extract powders from three Myrtaceae plants, namely Cleistocalyx operculatus (Vietnamese name: Vối), Psidium guajava (Ổi), and Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Sim), investigate their inhibitive activities on the growth of bacteria isolated from spoiled shrimps, and evaluate their values as preservative agents in the cold storage of Pacific whiteleg shrimps (Penaeus vannamei).

Bài viết trình bày tiềm năng chống oxy hoá của chiết xuất hai loài tảo nâu thuộc chi Turbinaria thu thập tại hòn Đầm Đước, tỉnh Kiên Giang. Để đánh giá hiệu quả chống oxy hoá in vitro, bốn phương pháp 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2’-azinobis 3ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), reducing power (RP), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) đã được sử dụng để khảo sát.

Avocado peel has been considered as a potential source of natural antioxidants in which phenolics are among the most important compounds. Therefore, this study aims to optimize the extraction process of phenolics using response surface methodology and evaluate the corresponding antioxidant activity.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are products of normal metabolic activities and are thought to be the cause of many diseases. A selenium-containing single-chain abzyme 2F3 (Se-2F3-scFv) that imitates glutathione peroxidase has been produced which has the capacity to remove ROS. To evaluate the antioxidant ability of Se-2F3-scFv, we con-structeda ferrous sulfate/ascorbate (Vc/Fe 2+ )-inducedmito-chondrial damage model system and investigated the capacity of Se-2F3-scFv to protect mitochondria from oxi-dative damage.

Metformin (1,1-dimethylbiguanide) is an antihyperglycae-mic drug used to normalize glucose concentrations in type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, antioxidant benefits have been reported in diabetic patients treated with metformin. This work was aimed at studying the scavenging capacity of this drug against reactive oxygen species (ROS) like Æ OH and O Æ
2 -free radicals. ROS were produced by gamma radio-lysis of water. The irradiated solutions of metformin were analyzed by UV/visible absorption spectrophotometry.

Glutamine is an essential amino acid in cancer cells and is required for the growth of many other cell types. Glutami-nase activity is positively correlated with malignancy in tumours andwith growth rate in normal cells. In the present work, Ehrlich ascites tumour cells, and their derivative, 0.28AS-2 cells, expressing antisense glutaminase mRNA, were assayed for apoptosis induced by methotrexate and hydrogen peroxide. It is shown that Ehrlich ascites tumour cells, expressing antisense mRNA for glutaminase, contain lower levels of glutathione than normal ascites cells. In addition, 0.

Vitamin C, a reducing agent and antioxidant, is a cofactor in reactions cata-lyzed by Cu + -dependent monooxygenases and Fe 2+ -dependent dioxygenas-es. It is synthesized, in vertebrates having this capacity, fromd-glucuronate. The latter is formed through direct hydrolysis of uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronate by enzyme(s) bound to the endoplasmic reticulum mem-brane, sharing many properties with, and most likely identical to, UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.
