Phytoplankton are key components of the oceanic carbon and sulfur cycles1. During bloom events, some species can emit large amounts of the organosulfur volatile dimethyl sulfide (DMS) into the ocean and consequ
Antioxidant genes, which are important in stress responses, were also preserved, as were a number of calcium-dependent and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases that may play a role in the establishment of symbiosis. Our findings disclose new knowledge about the genetic uniqueness of symbiotic...
graft rejection, infections due to the use of immunosuppressive drugs and a shortage of graft donors remain major concerns. Carbon monoxide (CO) had long been regarded solely as a poisonous gas. Ultimately, physiological studies unveiled the endogenous production of CO, particularly by the ...
Weight gain, diarrhea incidence, inflammatory cytokines, and antioxidant index Piglets were weighted on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28. The average daily gain (ADG) was calculated on a litter basis. To evaluate the incidence of diarrhea, the fecal consist- ency of piglets was visually ...
Research on the preparation of antioxidant peptides derived from egg white with assisting of high-intensity pulsed electric field. Food Chem. 2013, 139, 300–306. [CrossRef] [PubMed] 43. Saidi, S.; Deratani, A.; Belleville, M.P.; Amar, R.B. Antioxidant properties of peptide fractions...
Elderberry has medicinal properties associated with the presence of polyphenols, which are compounds with potential antioxidant properties. They can greatly affect the course of disease processes by counteracting oxidative stress, exerting beneficial effects on blood pressure, glycaemia reduction, immune ...
Free radical scavenging and induction of antioxidant enzymes have been shown to be responsible for antimutagenic activity [57]. In this study the EA extract which showed superior antioxidant activity also demonstrated better antimutagenic activity. Antimutagenic activity can be affected by a variety of...
Tryptophan, which is used as a nutritional supplement for pregnant women and in infant milk additives, an antioxidant, as well as a precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin, a sedative medicine that regulates circadian rhythm and improves sleep, and a drug treatment for deficiency of nicotinic ...
Preparation of extracts from Kalanchoe tubiflora Fresh Kalanchoe tubiflora (KT) was chopped and boiled three times with 95% EtOH under reflux and filtered. The filtered broth was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude extract was resuspended in H2O and partitioned successively with CHCl3 and ...
Antioxidant enzyme preparation. PEG-SOD (EC 1.15.1.1) and PEG-CAT (EC 1.11.1.6) were purchased from Oxis (Port- land, OR, U.S.A.). Both enzymes were tested for the presence of endotoxin using a Limulus amebocyte assay (17) (E-toxate kit; Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, U....
