Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASCORBIC ACID FOLIIAR SPRAY COUNTERACTING EFFECT OF SALINITY ON GROWTH, NUTRIENTS CONCENTRATIONS, PHOTOSYNTHESIS, ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES AND LIPID PEROXIDATION OF BEAN (PHASEULUS VULGARIS L.) CULTIVARSZeinab A. Salama, El-Zanaty A.A. Abou El-Nour, Mohamed M. El Fouly, Alaa A. GaafarA water culture experiment was carried out in the Department of Fertilization Technology at National Research Centre, Cairo, Egypt, to investigate the effect of Ascorbic Acid (AsA) foliar application and salinity stress (100 ppm and 100 mmoL NaCl) on growth, nutrients concentration and some biochemical parameters of two kidney bean (Phaseulus Vulgaris L.) cultivars. Salinity caused significant reduction in growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 16 May 2014 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS STUDY OF NIGELLA SATIVA, ITS OIL AND THEIR COMBINATION WITH VITAMIN E ON OXIDATIVE STRESS IN RATSAmr A. RezqAntioxidants or free radical scavengers are very important in protecting the living cells against any damage induced by free radicals. The effects of Nigella Sativa Extract (NSE), Nigella Sativa Oil (NSO) and Vitamin E (Vit. E) and the combination of NSE or NSO with Vit. E on potassium bromate (KBrO3)-induced oxidative stress in male rats were investigated. Forty nine Sprague … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 23 Apr 2014 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAPIGENIN CAUSES BIOCHEMICAL MODULATION, GLUT4 AND CD38 ALTERATIONS TO IMPROVE DIABETES AND TO PROTECT DAMAGES OF SOME VITAL ORGANS IN EXPERIMENTAL DIABETESChowdhury Mobaswar Hossain, Miltu Kumar Ghosh, Bhabani Sankar Satapathy et al.Diabetes mellitus gradually leads to dysfunction and failure of some vital organs specially the eyes, kidneys, pancreas, brain, heart, liver and lungs. The study was aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic potential of apigenin and its mechanistic role in controlling damages of vital tissues in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were treated with apigenin and glipizide. Various biochemical changes, GLUT4 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2014 · 15,675 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHYPOGLYCEMIC, HEPATO-RENAL AND ANTIOXIDANT POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF CHAMOMILE RECUTITA FLOWERS ETHANOLIC EXTRACT IN STREPTOZOTOCIN-DIABETIC RATSHassan Al-Musa, Fahaid AL-HashemThis study was undertaken to evaluate the hypoglycemic and hepatorenal protective effect of ethanolic extract of Chamomile recutita flowers in streptozotocin-Diabetic Rats. Before the beginning of the experiments, acute and subacute studies were carried out in control animals first to investigate the LD50 of this extract. In the experimental design, adult male albino rats were divided into five groups: (1) … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 9 Dec 2013 · 8,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytochemical and Pharmacological Evaluation of Selected PlantsSneh Verma, Tandra Mohanta, T. Revathy et al.Araucaria cookii, Bauhinia blakeana and Brassaia actinophylla are ornamental plants. The presence of various phytochemicals and pharmacologically important compounds in these plants can be exploited for their medicinal use. But there are no reports on the phytochemical and pharmacological evaluation of these plants and this study aims at investigating these. The plant extracts were prepared in different solvents like methanol, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 8,217 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhyllanthus Amarus Facilitates the Recovery of Peripheral Nerve after InjuryPanakpaporn Wannannond, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Supaporn Muchimapura et al.Problem statement: Peripheral nerve injuries are associated with morbidity and outcomes of peripheral nerve repair are poor. Moreover, it can subsequently leads to economic or social disability. Recent findings have shown that oxidative stress plays an important role on the functional recovery retardation of peripheral nerve. However, the impairment mentioned earlier is counteracted by antioxidant. Therefore, this study was carried … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 10 May 2012 · 7,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Effect of Enicostemma littorale Blume Methanolic Extract on Gentamicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in RatsNiraj Mukundray Bhatt, Kinjal Chauhan, Sharad Gupta et al.Problem statement: The Amino glycoside antibiotics cause drug induced nephrotoxicity at therapeutic doses and thus limits the use clinically. Oxidative stress is one of the main reasons for the development of nephrotoxicity. Approach: In light of this the aim of the present study was to investigate the role of mitochondrial as well as post-mitochondrial oxidative stress in the development of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2011 · 9,547 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOligoglucans as Elicitors of an Enzymatic Antioxidant System in Zucchini Squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) Seedlings at Low TemperatureAbel Ceron-Garcia, Gustavo Adolfo Gonzalez-Aguilar, Irasema Vargas-Arispuro et al.Abstract: Problem statement: Non-controlled low temperatures affect physiological and biochemical processes leading to Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) accumulation in plants, which normally are stabilized by the antioxidant system. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX) and Catalase (CAT) are the most important ROS-detoxification enzymes in stressed plants. Approach: The activity of these enzymes were examined in response to fungal Oligoglucans (OG) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,306 accessesView PDFCite
