Salinity is known to have a greater impact on shoot growth than root growth. Na + buildup in plant tissue under salt stress has been proposed as one of the main issues that causes inhibition crops via ionic imbalances, osmotic and pH disturbances. However, evidence for apoplastic role silicon accumulation at subcellular level still enigmatic. The current study focuses apoplast symplast younger older leaves two maize varieties (Iqbal salt-tolerant Jalal salt-sensitive) using hydroponic...
In this study, we evaluate the antiglycation effects of Ajwa date pulp extracts (ADEs) using glyoxal (GO)-catalase (CAT) glycation model. Phytochemical analysis revealed that dry extract contains significantly higher total phenolic content (TPC) (2619±121 mg GAE/100g DW (p < 0.0001)) compared to fresh dates. Moreover, acid hydrolysis method proved more effective for extracting bound acids (1035±353 mg/100g DW) than alkaline (446±18 from Using UPLC-PAD, p-coumaric and ferulic were identified...
In the present study, we tested antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential of plant flavonoid, fisetin against cigarette smoke-induced oxidative stress, inflammation in rat lungs. Male Wistar rats were chronically exposed to smoke (CS) with or without administration fisetin. Fisetin CS-exposed resulted a significant reduction neutrophils macrophages bronchoalveolar lavage fluid as well malondialdehyde, 3-nitrotyrosine, 8-isoprostane, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1beta,...
Sonochemical synthesis was used to create novel solar light active Mg‐doped CuO nanoparticles. Through a chemical impregnation method, the produced nanomaterial changed with PVA (polyvinylalcohol). The optical properties, crystal structure, and surface morphologies of synthesized nanomaterials were probed by UV‐visible spectroscopy (UV‐vis‐DRS), Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR), Raman spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high‐resolution transmission...
Environmental pollution is expedited by the rapid increase in population, urbanization, industrialization, and growth global economy. Water contamination accelerated incautious disposal of wastes into water bodies. The need hour to develop novel, ergonomic, subsidized, reproducible technologies that assist remediation such require minimal human intervention, preserve quality water, are eco‐friendly. Phytonanotechnology emerging as a promising strategy, characterized biosynthesis metallic...
Several proteins and peptides tend to form an amyloid fibril, causing a range of unrelated diseases, from neurodegenerative certain types cancer. In the native state, these are folded soluble. However, acquired β-sheet fibril due unfolding aggregation. The conversion mechanism well-folded soluble into amorphous or is not well understood yet. Here, we induced aggregation hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) by reducing agent dithiothreitol applied mechanical sheering force constant shaking (1000...
Erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs) are the most abundant in blood. They transport oxygen from lungs to tissues and bring back carbon dioxide lungs. Being non-nucleated lacking cellular organelles, they have been widely used for vitro toxicity studies. The present study was carried out comparative of cadmium (Cd) on RBCs camel cow. Both cow whole samples were exposed 0, 10, 50 100 μM chloride (CdCl2) tubes incubated at 37 °C 24 h. erythrocytes both species separated biochemical...
Nanoparticles (NPs) have distinct properties due to their small size and high surface area-to-volume ratio. These characteristics result in unique features not seen bulk materials. Metals, semiconductors, polymers are among the many varieties. Nanomaterials used various industries, including medical, electronics, environmental cleanup. However, potential health consequences must be carefully considered. Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) received significant attention outstanding physicochemical...
Elevated serum phosphate levels have been linked to increased mortality rates. This study investigated the effect of millimolar (mM) concentrations sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) on trypsin's aggregation and structural stability at intestinal pH levels. We used various spectroscopic microscopic techniques investigate changes trypsin aggregates. Turbidity light scattering results revealed that aggregates began solubilize SHMP above 1 mM, with maximum solubilization observed 6 mM SHMP....
The eye lens is a specialized organ of the visual system, which transparent due to its complex geometry and unique protein composition. Nature has designed it focus light on retina throughout life span. Several factors (post-translational modifications, thermal solar radiations) causes aggregation proteins result in early-onset cataract. A cataract one major blindness worldwide. It's interesting how camel eyes maintain transparency harsh desert climate? lenses contain novel zeta...
