Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUltrasound-Assisted Enzymatic Extraction of Polysaccharides from Waste Corn Bract: Process Optimization, Characterization, Antioxidant and Anti-Diabetic PotentialsYihui Liu, Yayi Li, Na Niu et al.Corn bract is the main agricultural waste of corn production and processing. Little information is focused on its value-added utilization. In the present study, the Ultrasound-Assisted Enzymatic Extraction (UAEE) was used for the first time to extract Corn Bract Polysaccharides (CBPs). The optimum conditions of UAEE for CBPs extraction were: Cellulase amount of 0.7%, enzymolysis for 58 min, and ultrasound … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2022 · 6,126 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Dietary Emamectin Benzoate at Recommended and Overdose Levels on the Pathophysiological Responses and Tolerability of Oreochromis niloticus at Fry StageJasmine Singha, Thangapalam Jawahar Abraham, Satyen Kumar Panda, Prasanna Kumar PatilEmamectin Benzoate (EB) has been recommended as a feed additive for the control of fish ectoparasites. This investigation examined the impact of dietary EB on physiological responses, antioxidant defence mechanisms, and histopathological changes in key organs, and on the kinetics of residue deposition and elimination in the muscle of Oreochromis niloticus fry. Fry were administered EB feeds at 50 µg … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 1 Jul 2026 · 1,469 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAluminium-Induced Hepatotoxicity and the Protective Role of Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) in Wistar RatsAnchana Babu, Rekha D Kini, Nayanatara Arun Kumar, Megha GokulAluminium is a widely distributed environmental contaminant whose chronic exposure leads to accumulation in multiple organs, including the liver, resulting in oxidative stress and tissue damage. When reactive oxygen species production exceeds the body's antioxidant defense capacity, cellular injury ensues — a mechanism central to aluminium-induced hepatotoxicity. Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha), an evergreen herb of the Solanaceae family widely cultivated in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 6 Apr 2026 · 1,449 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Ageratum conyzoides L. (Asteraceae) Phytochemical Composition as Quorum-sensing Inhibitors to Combat Antibiotic-resistant Bacterial InfectionsEli Compaoré, Lassané Ouedraogo, Ablassé Rouamba et al.The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections has intensified the search for plant-derived quorum-sensing (QS) inhibitors as alternative therapeutic strategies. Ageratum conyzoides L. has a long history of traditional use as an antimicrobial agent against multidrug-resistant pathogens, yet the phytochemical basis of its QS-inhibitory activity remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition of A. conyzoides and evaluate … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2026 · 1,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunomodulatory and Antioxidant Activities of Selenium-Enriched Polysaccharides from Epimedium and Isatis IndigoticaRui Zhang, Jin Li, Jiajia ZhouThis study aims to investigate the effects of selenium modification on polysaccharides derived from two traditional Chinese medicinal herbs-Epimedium (Yinyanghuo) and Isatis root (Banlangen)-in enhancing immune function and antioxidant activity. The purpose is to explore the relationship between structure and function, providing a theoretical basis for the development of efficient plant-based functional antioxidants. Polysaccharides were extracted using an optimized enzymatic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2026 · 1,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Hydrodistillation Extraction by Response Surface Methodology and Evaluation of the Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities of Essential Oils from Phragmites communis (Cav) TrinXin-Tong Zou, Hong-Yuan Ma, Yu-He Li et al.The principal objectives of this study encompass three distinct aspects: firstly, to streamline the extraction process of Phragmites communis (Cav) Trin essential oil; secondly, to systematically analyze the essential oil’s chemical composition; and finally, to evaluate biological activity. Through the system optimization experiment, the optimal extraction process was determined: the crushing size was set to 10 mesh, the total solid-liquid … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 6 Jan 2026 · 2,315 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntiproliferative Potential of Pomegranate Peel Extract in MDA-MB Breast Cancer Cell LinesManal Asif Hamdulay, Fatema Yusuf Singaporewala, Grisilda Vidya Bernhardt et al.Nutraceuticals have gained recognition as adjuvant therapies in cancer treatment due to their non-toxic and protective properties. Among various natural products, pomegranate peel with high antioxidant capacity and rich polyphenol content suggest potential anticancer properties. Previous studies have shown promising anticancer effects of other parts of the pomegranate. The purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of Pomegranate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 13 May 2025 · 5,582 accessesView PDFCite
