The biostimulant potential of three different organic acids (OAs) present in the rhizosphere, specifically lactic, oxalic, and citric acids, have been studied. results showed a rapid complete metabolism these with soil microorganisms using them as source carbon energy. Biostimulation was confirmed by biochemical studies which an increase enzymatic activities, such dehydrogenase phosphatase, lactic being those that produced greatest biostimulation. With regard to microbiota composition,...
Neuroinflammation is an important contributor to pathogenesis of age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Accumulating evidence indicates that inhibition microglia-mediated neuroinflammation may become a reliable protective strategy for processes. Flavonoids, widely distributed in the vegetable kingdom and foods honey, have been suggested novel therapeutic agents reduction deleterious effects neuroinflammation. The present study investigated...
Antioxidant activities of lipophilic hydroxytyrosyl acetate, palmitate, oleate, and linoleate were compared with those hydroxytyrosol, α-tocopherol, butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) in both glyceridic matrix biological systems. Aliquots a spiked various concentrations antioxidant subjected to accelerated oxidation Rancimat apparatus operated at 90 °C. The relationships between induction time (IT) concentration (mmol/kg) presented by hydroxytyrosol similar. Hydroxytyrosol its esters showed greater...
Three different varieties of Opuntia ficus-indica (R, red; Y, yellow; RY, red-yellow) have been considered in this study. Attention was focused on differential tristimulus colorimetry and the analysis individual betalains (HPLC-DAD-ESI-ToF-MS) phenolic content, scarcely previously reported these kinds samples. The importance research stems from elucidation parts cactus pear more optimal for use as natural colorants sources phenolics betalains. Thus, RY pulp appropriate to obtain with high...
The quality of soil is strongly bound by several interactions between chemical and biological components, including microbial composition, which are a key importance for performance. Cultural activities have huge induction on health, through both modification physicochemical proprieties changing communities. This usually affects the safety soil, then crop production water. In present work, information bacterial community composition was determined from set 6 soils collected 2 farms in...
We have studied the effect of oxidative stress on protein synthesis in rat liver. Cumene hydroperoxide (CH) was used as an oxidant agent. The approach to determine ribosomal state aggregation and time for assembly release polypeptide chains process liver vivo. results suggest that elongation step is most sensitive CH treatment. measurement both carbonyl groups content ADP-ribosylatable factor 2 (EF-2), main involved step, indicates under treatment EF-2 oxidatively modified a lower amount...
In the present study, a novel property of melatonin is shown: protective effect on respiratory chain in isolated rat liver mitochondria and striatal synaptosomes treated with 1‐methyl‐4‐phenylpyridinium ion (MPP + ). The cellular damage caused by MPP , compound that produces Parkinsonian‐like syndrome humans, result mitochondrial respiration inhibition at Complex I level oxidative stress induction. Treatment inhibits rate. This was prevented inclusion incubation mixture. preventive effect,...
Abstract BACKGROUND: The obtention and physicochemical characterization of an enzymatic vegetable extract (EVE) from agroindustrial wastes by a proteolytic extraction is described. main components EVE are nitrogen (peptides free amino acids) phytohormones (auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins), as functional components. effect fertilizer/biostimulant on several parameters red grapes, such colour anthocyanins, was also evaluated. RESULTS: Its application induced high anthocyanin content with the...
Alterations in the proteasome activity CNS have been described during aging. However, a detailed study of all subunits is actually lacking. We analyzed, vivo, age-related modifications molecular composition hippocampal proteasomes. found that immunoproteasome/proteasome ratio was increased aged hippocampus. The processing low-molecular-mass protein (LMP)7/beta(5i) subunit, practically absent young hippocampus, animals. Among potential factors underlying these we evaluated neuroinflammation...
