Inhibition of ozone-induced SP-A oxidation by plant polyphenols
(2007)
Surfactant protein-A (SP-A) is the best studied and most abundant of the protein components of lung surfactant and plays an important role in host defense of the lung. It has been shown that ozone-induced oxidation of SP-A ...
Cytogenetic effects of grape extracts (Vitis vinifera) and polyphenols on mitomycin C-induced sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in human blood lymphocytes
(2007)
In the present study, the effects of extracts and polyphenol-rich fractions as well as monomer polyphenols identified in them, from both red and white grapes, on mitomycin C (MMC) induced sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) ...
Assessment of antioxidant/anticarcinogenic activity of plant extracts by a combination of molecular methods
(2005)
Cancer chemoprevention is considered to be a promising approach for cancer control, as it has been identified by both epidemiological and molecular studies that environmental factors are the major causes of cancer. ...
The effects of acute exercise on serum adiponectin and resistin levels and their relation to insulin sensitivity in overweight males
(2006)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a submaximal aerobic exercise bout on adiponectin and resistin levels as well as insulin sensitivity, until 48 h post-exercise in healthy overweight males. Nine ...
Assessment of antioxidant activity of extracts from unique Greek varieties of Leguminosae plants using in vitro assays
(2007)
Background: It is believed that legumes are a very good source of micronutrients and phytochemicals that present chemopreventive activity against diseases such as diabetes, coronary heart disease and colon cancer. Methanolic ...
Blood reflects tissue oxidative stress depending on biomarker and tissue studied
(2009)
This study investigated whether selected oxidative stress markers measured in blood adequately reflect redox status in skeletal muscle, heart, and liver. Several markers were determined after implementing two treatments ...
The effects of a single bout of exercise on resting energy expenditure and respiratory exchange ratio
(2004)
We investigated the effects of a single bout of aerobic and resistance exercise of similar relative intensity and duration on resting energy expenditure (REE) and substrate utilisation. Ten young healthy males volunteered ...
Cell-free plasma DNA as a novel marker of aseptic inflammation severity related to exercise overtraining
(2006)
Background: Circulating free plasma DNA is implicated in conditions associated with tissue injury, including exercise-induced inflammation, and thus is a potential marker for athletic overtraining. Methods: We measured ...
