Treatment of cultured cells with tannic acid after fixation with glutaraldehyde and osmification prevents the ultrastructural deterioration of cellular structures during dehydration and impregnation. Membranes of tannic acid-treated cells showed an increased contrast and sharp delineation of the
In the present work, virgin olive oil, sunflower oil and a vegetable shortening were used as cooking oils for the deep-frying and pan-frying of potatoes, for eight successive sessions, under the usual domestic practice. Several chemical and physicochemical parameters (acidic value, peroxide value,
Ossification of calvariae from day-21 rat fetuses was reinvestigated by electron microscopy using different fixation techniques (glutaraldehyde/OsO4, tannic acid, ruthenium red, K-pyroantimonate). An osteoid layer with scattered mineral deposits was found at the mineralization front. Directly beyond
Mouse biceps brachii muscles containing single transverse incisions were treated with low molecular weight tannic acid. In the absence of fibre degeneration, intracellular spread of tannic acid was confined to a short distance along the fibres from the damaged portions of the cell membranes. Beyond
The effect of intraperitoneal administration of an aqueous solution of tannic acid was examined after different intervals of time. The results showed a gradual and progressive destruction of the liver cells and transformation of its architecture. The histological signs of liver damage appeared 2 hrs
Oxidative stress has been projected as a promising mechanism involved in lead exposure. The lead predisposition catalyzes oxidative reactions and generates reactive oxygen species. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of oral administration of tannic acid (TA) on behavioral
The impact of tannins on larval Nematocera was investigated by an extensive survey of the relative toxicity of tannic acid in Diptera larvae representative of mosquito communities from alpine hydrosystems (Culicidae, Chaoboridae, Chironomidae, and Simuliidae) together with a nonindigenous vector
BACKGROUND
Bioprosthetic heart valves derived from glutaraldehyde (Glut)-fixed xenografts have been widely used to replace diseased cardiac valves. However, calcification and degeneration are common following their implantation. Inflammation is closely associated with calcification of Glut-fixed
Chronic and unprotect UV exposure leads to skin oxidative stress, following accumulation of damaged cellular components and downstream activation of specific signaling pathways, culminating in premature skin aging (photoaging). In this concern, polyphenols have been proposed for the prevention of
The LD(50) +/- S.E. of tannic acid given orally to albino rats was found to be 2.26+/-0.083 g. per kg. body weight, which is higher than its apparent LD(50) when given per rectum. The immediate cause of death was respiratory failure preceded by convulsions when death occurred early and by
Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation may cause the inflammation of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells and play a role in development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The activation of the complement factor B (CFB) gene has been shown to be involved in formation of AMD. Here our results
OBJECTIVE
To characterize the morphology, prevalence, and topography of subretinal drusenoid deposits, a candidate histological correlate of reticular pseudodrusen, with reference to basal linear deposit (BlinD), a specific lesion of age-related macular degeneration, and to propose a biogenesis
Progressive degeneration and calcification of glutaraldehyde (Glut) fixed tissues used in cardiovascular surgery restrict their long-term clinical performance. This limited biological stability may be attributable to the inability of Glut to adequately protect certain tissue components such as
The long-term performance of tissue-derived, glutaraldehyde (Glut)-treated cardiovascular implants such as prosthetic heart valves and vascular grafts is limited by the bio-degeneration of tissue components. While collagen is satisfactorily preserved by Glut, elastin is not stabilized and is highly
OBJECTIVE
Habitual food and nutrient intakes of 140 Indian cataract patients and 100 age- and sex-matched controls (50-75 years), from high income group and low income groups, were assessed.
METHODS
Food intake was recorded by food frequency questionnaire and data were examined for linkages with
