(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 ... -
Comparison of antioxidant activity between green and roasted coffee beans using molecular methods
(2015)Coffee is one of the most popular and widely consumed beverages worldwide due to its pleasant taste and aroma. A number of studies have been performed to elucidate the possible beneficial effects of coffee consumption on ... -
Curcumin for the management of periodontitis and early ACPA-positive rheumatoid arthritis: Killing two birds with one stone
(2018)We propose curcumin as a preventive measure to avoid/manage periodontitis (PD), and as a natural immunosuppressant for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PD, mainly caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis forming biofilm and leading ... -
Development and evaluation of liposomal nanoparticles incorporating dimethoxycurcumin. In vitro toxicity and permeability studies
(2022)Liposomes belong to the class of drug delivery nanosystems and are widely used for the incorporation and delivery of lipophilic drug molecules. The present work deals with the physicochemical characterization of different ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Effect of dietary olive leaves and/or α-tocopheryl acetate supplementation on microbial growth and lipid oxidation of turkey breast fillets during refrigerated storage
(2010)Thirty turkeys were allocated to five groups of six birds each. One group that served as control was fed a basal diet, while the others were fed diets supplemented with olive leaves at 5 or 10 g/kg, or α-tocopheryl acetate ... -
Effect of phosphorus application rate on Mentha spicata L. grown in deep flow technique (DFT)
(2019)The present study evaluated the impact of phosphorus application rate on plant growth and physiological parameters, antioxidant activity, chemical composition, and essential oil yield and composition of hydroponically grown ... -
Effects of acute exercise on liver function and blood redox status in heavy drinkers
(2015)Excessive alcohol consumption can induce oxidative stress, resulting in the development of several diseases. Exercise has been reported to prevent and/or improve a number of health issues through several mechanisms, including ... -
Effects of grape extracts on the in vitro activity of enzymes involved in oxidative stress regulation
(2011)Background/Aim: A number of in vitro and in vivo studies have investigated the potential preventive activity of grape extracts against different diseases, and have mostly focused on their antioxidant properties. The present ... -
Effects of sheep/goat whey protein dietary supplementation on the redox status of rats
(2018)The purpose of the present study is to estimate the effects of sheep/goat whey protein dietary supplementation on the redox status of blood and tissues of rats. Twelve male Wistar rats were divided into the control group ... -
