In the present study, grape pomace (GP) was used as feed additive in diet of weaned piglets order to develop innovative feedstuffs and investigate their potential beneficial effects on welfare, productivity meat quality. For examining antioxidant capacity experimental feeds, 24 20 days old were assigned two groups receiving standard or for 30 days. Blood tissues collections performed at four different time-points, 2, 20, 35 50 post birth. The collected brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung,...
Summary Grape pomace is a by‐product of winemaking process and rich in bioactive compounds such as plant polyphenols having antioxidant antimicrobial activities. As known, oxidative stress may cause number pathological conditions farm animals thus affecting animal welfare production. Moreover, pathogenic bacteria affect animals’ health status. Thus, the objective this study was to investigate whether lambs’ feed supplemented with grape enhances mechanisms reduces growth bacteria. For...
The aim of the present study was investigation antioxidant activity plant extracts from Rosa canina, sempervivens and Pyrocantha coccinea. results showed that bioactive compounds found at higher concentrations were in R. canina extract: hyperoside, astragalin, rutin, (+)-catechin (-)-epicatechin; sempervirens quinic acid, (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, astragalin hyperoside; P. coccinea vanillin, syringic acid chlorogenic acid. total polyphenolic content 290.00, 267.67 226.93 mg Gallic Acid...
The aim of the study was to test a novel method for assessing oxidative stress, RedoxSYS™ diagnostic system, holistic, fast, minimally invasive, and requiring small sample volume method, that measures two parameters, static (sORP) capacity (cORP) oxidation-reduction potential.
Bee bread is the only fermented product of beehive. It constitutes main source proteins, lipids, vitamins, and macro- microelements in honeybee nutrition it exerts antioxidant antimicrobial properties, though research on these aspects has been limited so far. In this study 18 samples Greek bee bread, two which were monofloral, collected during different seasons from diverse locations such as Crete Mount Athos tested for their bioactivity. Samples analyzed antibacterial activity, total...
The aim of the present study was to investigate use static (sORP) and capacity ORP (cORP) oxidation-reduction potential markers as measured by RedoxSYS Diagnostic System in plasma, for assessing eccentric exercise-induced oxidative stress. Nineteen volunteers performed exercise with knee extensors. Blood collected before, immediately after exercise, 24, 48, 72 h exercise. Moreover, common redox biomarkers were measured, which protein carbonyls, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, total...
The aim of the study was to examine effects a polyphenolic powder from olive mill wastewater (OMWW) administered through drinking water, on chickens’ redox status. Thus, 75 chickens were divided into three groups. Group A given just while groups B and C water containing 20 50 μ g/ml polyphenols, respectively, for 45 days. antioxidant assessed by measuring oxidative stress biomarkers in blood after 25 days treatment. These markers total capacity (TAC), protein carbonyls (CARB), thiobarbituric...
The aim of the present study was to investigate effects livestock feed supplemented with grape pomace (GP) or olive oil mill wastewater (OMW) byproducts on enzymatic activity and protein expression antioxidants enzymes, in liver spleen tissue sheep. Thus, 36 male sheep Chios breed were divided into 3 homogeneous groups, control group (n = 12), GP 12) OMW receiving standard experimental feed. Liver tissues collected at 42 70 days post-birth. superoxide dismutase (SOD)...
Background/Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate antioxidant effects a feed supplemented with polyphenolic additives from olive mill wastewater (OMW) on lambs. Materials and Methods: Lambs received breast milk until postnatal period, then they were divided into two groups control OMW for 55 days. Redox biomarkers measured in blood tissues at days 15, 42 70 after feeding. Results: Feed reduced thiobarbituric acid reactive species protein carbonyls increased total capacity,...
Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may cause endothelial dysfunction and consequently vascular disease. In the present study, possible protective effects sheep whey protein (SWP) from tert-butyl hydroperoxide- (tBHP-) induced oxidative stress in cells (EA.hy926) were assessed using biomarkers. These biomarkers glutathione (GSH) ROS levels determined by flow cytometry. Moreover, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), carbonyls (CARB), oxidized (GSSG)...
Pine honey is a unique type of honeydew produced exclusively in Eastern Mediterranean countries like Greece and Turkey. Although the antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties pine are well documented, few studies have investigated so far its antibacterial activity. This study investigates effects against P. aeruginosa PA14 at molecular level using global transcriptome approach via RNA-sequencing. treatment was applied sub-inhibitory concentration short exposure time (0.5× minimum inhibitory...
A previous study revealed that the inclusion of grape pomace (GP) in diet for growing lambs had beneficial effects on redox status and fecal microbiota. Herein, we investigated effect GP performance, carcass traits fatty acid composition meat.In experimental trial 55 days, were fed with standard or supplemented GP. Performance, profile quadriceps muscle assessed.GP improved growth since average daily gain was significantly increased by 2-fold group. Regarding meat, content long chain n-3...
It has been suggested that microorganisms present in honey are a potential source of antimicrobial compounds. This study aimed to isolate and characterize bacteria from 46 Greek samples diverse botanical geographical origin determine whether these demonstrate antibacterial activity against five important nosocomial foodborne pathogens. In total, 2014 bacterial isolates were obtained screened for activity. Overall, 16% the inhibited growth Staphylococcus aureus, 11.2% Pseudomonas aeruginosa...
Sinus node function is commonly evaluated by the atropine test. The isoproterenol test less used. aim of this study was to evaluate chronotropic reserve in patients with asymptomatic sinus bradycardia using combined administration and isoproterenol. A total 100 were studied, 18–70 years old, permanent, asymptomatic, no detectable cardiac disease. standard protocols for used successive heart rate recorded. Patients stratified into three groups: Group (control), showing normal response...
The aim of the current retrospective study was to validate a predictive model for radiation pneumonitis (STRIPE) in an independent dataset and investigate whether addition other potential risk factors could strengthen accuracy model. Consecutive patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC; n=71) treated definitive concurrent chemotherapy radiotherapy were retrospectively assessed (RP). results identified that 16 (23%) developed grade ≥2 RP. Furthermore, STRIPE score (intermediate vs....
