Effects of metabolic substrates on myoglobin redox forms
Glutamate/malate, succinate, and pyruvate substrates were added using a mixture design (Table 1, column B), so the effects of these substrates on Mb redox forms can be predicted and illustrated in triangles (Fig. 2, Fig. 3).We present the effects from day 6 because that was the day the mixtures of substrates explained most of the variation in the redox states
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are widely used for the treatment of COPD despite of controversial statements concerning their efficacy. The use of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a mucolytic drug with antioxidant properties, is less clear, but it may counteract the oxidant-antioxidant imbalance in
What are THE MOST DANGEROUS E-NUMBERS
E223 Widely used as a preservative and antioxidant May provoke life-threatening asthma a woman developed severe asthma after eating a salad with a vinegar based dressing containing E223 Sodium Sulphite E221 Preservative used in wine making and other food processes Sulphites have been associated with triggering asthma attacks; most asthmatics
Aug 18, 2021· Fructose in the diet expands the surface of the gut and promotes nutrient absorption. Feeding mice high-fructose corn syrup, a widely used sweetener in human diets, has been found to drive an
Diabetes and Alzheimer's Disease: A Link not as Simple as
Diabetes is a very complex metabolic disorder characterized by a rise in blood glucose levels due to an altered insulin production by pancreatic cells (Type 1) or an impaired insulin response (Type 2) [].The chronic hyperglycemia and insulin resistance found in diabetic patients is commonly associated with vascular complications which eventually lead to
Published: July, 2014 Abstract: Phthalates, phthalic acid esters, are widely used as plasticizers to produce polymeric materials in industrial production of plastics and daily consumable products. Animal studies have shown that di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) may cause toxic ef...
Antioxidants
The most widely used primary antioxidants are sterically hindered phenols. They are very effective radical scanvengers during both processing and long-term thermal aging, and are generally non-discoloring. Many also have received FDA approval. The mechanism of scavenging oxy radicals is shown below:
Quercetin is a bioactive compound that is widely used in botanical medicine and traditional Chinese medicine due to its potent antioxidant activity. In recent years, antioxidant activities of quercetin have been studied extensively, including its
Understanding the chemistry behind the antioxidant
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a most commonly used antioxidant recognized as safe for use in foods containing fats, pharmaceuticals, petroleum products, rubber and oil industries. In the past two decades, there has been growing interest in finding novel antioxidants to meet the requirements of these industries.
