... and non-enzymatic (NEZ) antioxidants on the quality of spermatozoa in chilled, stored liquid semen from Garut rams. The rams were randomly divided into seven treatments in a 2 × 3 factorial design. The two factors were the antioxidant levels of EZ (25, 50, and 75 mg) and NEZ (5, 10, and 20 mg). Motility, viability, and plasma membrane integrity were the metrics used in this analysis. The experiment conducted with the additional NEZ on the 4th day of obs...

...(ALA) and Tempol are two antioxidants that have been shown to protect against various forms of oxidative stress and inflammation. This study explored the hepatoprotective effects of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) and Tempol against subacutely repeated acetaminophen (APAP) exposure in a murine model. Fifty male Balb-c mice were divided into five groups. Groups received 700 mg/kg.BW of APAP and oral treatments: G1 (distilled water, negative control), G2 (no treatment, ...

...butes (protein contents, antioxidants enzyme activates). A decrease in seed germination percentage from 95.22 (at control) to 25.34% (at 120 mM salt stress) and shoot length from 86.12 (at control) to 42.36 cm (at 120 mM salt stress) was observed. Similar decreasing pattern of growth was observed in case of pot grown plants after 60 days. The results suggested that salt stress drastically reduced length of shoot and root, fresh / dry weight and leaf area and a...

...olvents on extraction of antioxidants from M. nigra leaves have been studied. Initially, samples were dried using different drying procedures (shade, oven and microwave drying) and extracted using different solvents (ethyl acetate, acetone and methanol) in combination with microwave-assisted extraction technique. Antioxidant potentials of extracts were determined in terms of total phenolics, total flavonoids and ascorbic acid contents. In addition, radicals (D...
