Approach: After local X-ray radiation of both rat gastrocnemius muscles at a dose 20 Gy or after total γ-irradiation of animals at a semiletal dose 6 Gy, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2011 · 8,198 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication of Polysaccharides from a Fermented Tea and Their Antioxidant and Hypoglycemic ViabilityJun Li, Lingxian Tong, Bing Li et al.The hypoglycemic effects of tea have been extensively studied, with fermented tea demonstrating notable efficacy owing to its distinct processing methods. This study involved the extraction of tea polysaccharides from Wuniuzao Black Tea (WTP) using a water extraction and ethanol precipitation method. WTP-1 and WTP-2 were obtained by separation and purification using DEAE-52 cellulose columns. Antioxidant activity was evaluated utilizing … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 30 Jul 2026 · 655 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNitric Oxide Treatment Improves the Antioxidant Capacity While Inhibiting Anthocyanin Biosynthesis of Peach Fruit (‘Xiahui-8’) During RipeningZiqi Wang, Yanyan Li, Yingling Deng et al.Nitric Oxide (NO) is an important bioactive signal molecule that plays an important role in diverse physiological processes. This study aimed to explore the effects of Nitric Oxide (NO) treatments on postharvest peach fruit. Specifically, we examined changes in quality attributes, antioxidant ability, and anthocyanin profiles during storage, given the important role of NO as a bioactive signal molecule in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 14 Apr 2026 · 1,392 accessesView PDF Cite
