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 abstractEffects of Different Extraction Methods on the Quality of Peony Seed Oil and Its Emulsion PropertiesKang Li, Chao Du, Shuxian Pang et al.Peony seed oil, as a functional oil rich in ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidant components, has its extraction process directly affecting the maintenance of bioactive substances and the added value of the product. In this analysis, the effects of wet milling-micronized continuous leaching method (MCI), solvent extraction (SE), soxhlet extraction (SOXE) and ethanol-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis (EAH) on the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 28 Jan 2026 · 1,955 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFerulic Acid in Chinese Herbal Medicine: Regulating Autophagy for Oxidative Damage ReductionZhiyuan Lv, Qiaozhen Zhao, Shanbin Chen et al.Ferulic Acid (FA) is the primary functional component in herbal plants and traditional fermented foods. To comprehend the mechanism of action of ferulic acid, in terms of its regulation of autophagy, antioxidants and the inhibition of inflammatory pathways, the study was conducted. Oxidatively damaged human-derived hepatocytes were treated with FA and the processing concentration of FA is from 50-800 μm. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 1 Jun 2024 · 5,483 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Activity of Trilobatin and Its Inhibitory Effects on Oxidative Damage of Biological MacromoleculesYuhan Zhai, Yuqing Zhang, Yaping Li et al.Excessive levels of free radicals in the body cause oxidative damage to macromolecules by injuring DNA, proteins, and lipids, which leads to structural and functional defects and ultimately results in a number of illnesses. The antioxidation of trilobatin and its inhibitory activity of trilobatin on oxidative damage of biological macromolecules have not been thoroughly investigated. In this research, the effects … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2023 · 5,466 accessesView PDFCite
