Dietary quercetin (QU) and rutin (RU), phenolic flavonoids found in many fruits and vegetables, when fed to mice on a low-fat diet successfully modified the response to azoxymethanol (AOM) by initially inhibiting hyperproliferation and the formation of foci of dysplasia (FADs) and ultimately
The present study investigated the allelopathic effects of aqueous extracts of Castanea henryi litter on the growth and physiological responses of Brassica pekinensis and Zea mays . Treatment with high concentrations of leaf extract (0.05 g/ml for B. pekinensis and 0.10 g/ml for Z. mays )
This study was designed to determine the contents of total polyphenols, flavonoids, flavonols, flavanols, and anthocyanins of purple corn (Zea mays L.) extracts obtained with different methanol:water concentrations, acidified with 1% HCl (1 N). Another objective was to determine the antioxidant
BACKGROUND
Selenium (Se) and rutin (RUT) are antioxidants that protect against tissue damage.
OBJECTIVE
In this study, the separate and combine protective effects of RUT and Se against cadmium (Cd)-induced renal damage were evaluated in rats.
METHODS
Wistar rats were treated by gavage to RUT (30
This study aimed to investigate the associations between phenolic composition of selected purple maize genotypes and their anti-inflammatory, anti-adipogenic and anti-diabetic properties in vitro. Anthocyanin-rich water extracts (PMWs) from 20 purple maize genotypes were evaluated in RAW 264.7
OBJECTIVE
A new naringinase-producing strain, JMUdb058 was identified and characterized.
METHODS
The strain was identified by morphological observation and 28S rDNA homogeneous analysis. Naringinase was identified by monitoring the hydrolysis of naringin to prunin and naringenin using a reversed
Cell-suspension cultures of maize ( Zea mays L.) released soluble extracellular polysaccharides (SEPs) into their medium. Some or all of the SEPs had feruloyl ester groups. Pulse-labelling with [(3)H]arabinose was used to monitor changes in the SEPs' M(r) (estimated by gel-permeation chromatography)
