Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPACT OF DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE IN PREVENTION OF PARACETAMOL INDUCED NEPHROTOXICITY IN RATSAbbas O. ElkaribParacetamol (PCM) overdose can cause nephrotoxicity with oxidative stress as one of the possible mechanisms mediating the event. However, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), the major secretory product of the human adrenal gland, has been shown to possess a multi-targeted antioxidant activity which is also effective against lipid peroxidation induced in various animal models and against various human disorders. In this study, the … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2014 · 7,568 accessesView PDFCite

Twenty-four different compounds were identified and the predominant compound is eucalyptol, which accounted for 59.9, 55.6 and 8.6% of total compounds, respectively. To asses the possible therapeutic uses of the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2013 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBio-Guided Study on Melastoma malabathricum Linn Leaves and Elucidation of its Biological ActivitiesMourouge Saadi Alwash, Nazlina Ibrahim, Wan Yaacob AhmadThe present study aimed to isolate and identify constituents with antibacterial activity from the Methanol extract of Melastoma malabathricum leaves (MMML) through bioassay guided fractionation. Furthermore, the study scoped to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of M. malabathricum leaves fractions for possible protective effect of antoxidative constituents present in the fractions. The MMML extract was fractionated by Vacuum Liquid Chromatography (VLC) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 9,519 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Extraction Conditions on the Recovery of Phenolic Antioxidants from Spent Coffee GroundsAntonio Zuorro, Roberto LavecchiaThe extraction of phenolic compounds from Spent Coffee Grounds (SCG), a waste produced in large amounts worldwide, was investigated. SCG were rich in fiber and protein and had a total phenolic content of 18.75±0.43 mg GAE per gram dry weight. Extraction experiments were carried out in batch mode, using ethanol-water mixtures as solvent. A two-level factorial design was used to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 28 May 2013 · 8,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenolic Content, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activities of Ethanolic Extract of Salix albaGhassan Mohammad Sulaiman, Nehia Nima Hussien, Thorria Raddam Marzoog, Hussain Abood AwadThe total phenolic content, antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of hot ethanolic extract of Salix alba bark were investigated. The antioxidant properties and the total phenolic contents of the extract were assessed by 1, 1-Diphenyl- 2-Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging and Folin-Ciocalteu methods, respectively. The extract showed significant antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 10,092 accessesView PDFCite
