Chemical composition of cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L. var. altilis) petioles as affected by plant growth stage
(2022)In the present study petioles were collected from cultivated cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L. var altilis) plants in central Greece at sixteen harvest dates (samples P1-P16) and nine growth stages (principal growth stages ... -
Chemical composition, nutritional value and antioxidant properties of Mediterranean okra genotypes in relation to harvest stage
(2018)The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of fruit size on nutritional value, chemical composition and antioxidant properties of Mediterranean okra genotypes. For this purpose, pods from four okra cultivars ... -
Chios mastic gum: A plant-produced resin exhibiting numerous diverse pharmaceutical and biomedical prοperties
(2012)Chios mastic gum (CMG) is a resin produced by the plant Pistacia lentiscus var. chia. CMG is used to extract the mastic gum essential oil (MGO). CMG and MGO consist of nearly 70 constituents and have demonstrated numerous ... -
Chronic administration of plasma from exercised rats to sedentary rats does not induce redox and metabolic adaptations
(2020)The present study aimed to investigate whether endurance exercise-induced changes in blood plasma composition may lead to adaptations in erythrocytes, skeletal muscle and liver. Forty sedentary rats were randomly distributed ... -
Citric acid-based deep eutectic solvent for the anthocyanin recovery from Hibiscus sabdariffa through microwave-assisted extraction
(2022)In the current study, Hibiscus sabdariffa has been extracted by microwave-assisted extraction (MAEX). Citric acid-based deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been specially designed, where a hydrogen bond donor (HBD) (glycerol ... -
A comparison of the phenolic profile and antioxidant activity of different Cichorium spinosum L. ecotypes
(2018)BACKGROUND: Wild greens are considered a rich source of phenolic compounds and antioxidants and an essential part of the so-called Mediterranean diet. In the present study, Cichorium spinosum L. ecotypes, cultivated or ... -
The compositional aspects of edible flowers as an emerging horticultural product
(2021)Edible flowers are becoming very popular, as consumers are seeking healthier and more attractive food products that can improve their diet aesthetics and diversify their dietary sources of micronutrients. The great variety ... -
Correlation between intermediary metabolism, Hsp gene expression, and oxidative stress-related proteins in long-term thermal-stressed Mytilus galloprovincialis
(2020)Long-term exposure of Mytilus galloprovincialis to temperatures beyond 26°C triggers mussel mortality. The present study aimed to integratively illustrate the correlation between intermediary metabolism, hsp gene expression, ... -
Cotton and cardoon byproducts as potential growing media components for Cichorium spinosum L. commercial cultivation
(2019)The intensification of horticultural crops cultivation makes urgent the seeking for alternative growth substrates that could substitute non-renewable and/or synthetic growing media, such as peat and rock wool. The aim of ... -
Development and validation of a kit to measure drink antioxidant capacity using a novel colorimeter
(2016)Measuring the antioxidant capacity of foods is essential, as a means of quality control to ensure that the final product reaching the consumer will be of high standards. Despite the already existing assays with which the ... -
Development of sodium propionate-based deep eutectic solvents for polyphenol extraction from onion solid wastes
(2019)Abstract: The objective of the study presented herein was the optimisation of onion solid waste (OSW) polyphenol extraction, using sodium propionate-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and process variables optimised through ... -
Dietary antioxidant supplements and uric acid in chronic kidney disease: A review
(2019)Increased serum levels of uric acid have been associated with the onset and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiovascular disease, and mortality, through several molecular pathogenetic mechanisms, such as ... -
Dietary factors and supplements influencing prostate specific-antigen (PSA) concentrations in men with prostate cancer and increased cancer risk: An evidence analysis review based on randomized controlled trials
(2020)The quest for dietary patterns and supplements efficient in down-regulating prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentrations among men with prostate cancer (PCa) or increased PCa risk has been long. Several antioxidants, ... -
Dietary oxidative stress and antioxidant defense with an emphasis on plant extract administration
(2012)Eukaryotic cells generally function in a reduced state, but an amount of reactive species is essential for several biochemical processes. The antioxidant network is the defensive mechanism that occurs when the concentration ... -
Disparate habitual physical activity and dietary intake profiles of elderly men with low and elevated systemic inflammation
(2018)The development of chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation in the elderly (inflammaging) has been associated with increased incidence of chronic diseases, geriatric syndromes, and functional impairments. The aim of this ... -
Downregulation of PERK activity and eIF2α serine 51 phosphorylation by mTOR complex 1 elicits pro-oxidant and pro-death effects in tuberous sclerosis-deficient cells article
(2018)Oxidative stress determines cell fate through several mechanisms, among which regulation of mRNA translation by the phosphorylation of the alpha (α) subunit of the translation initiation factor eIF2α at serine 51 (eIF2αP) ... -
Effect of cocoa products and its polyphenolic constituents on exercise performance and exercise-induced muscle damage and inflammation: A review of clinical trials
(2019)In recent years, the consumption of chocolate and, in particular, dark chocolate has been “rehabilitated” due to its high content of cocoa antioxidant polyphenols. Although it is recognized that regular exercise improves ... -
