“…The cinnamon used herein, as a coffee supplement, affects antioxidant activities because the cinnamon is a good source of bioactive compounds such as cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and coumarin (Shan et al., 2005). The effect of cinnamon extract serving as a free radical scavenger has been previously reported by Roussel, Hininger, Benaraba, Ziegenfuss, and Anderson (2009). …”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding various medicinal plants to kombucha medium and to analyze the changes that occur to its physicochemical, antimicrobial, and sensorial properties. In the first part, measurements were made to determine IC 50 value, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, minimum inhibitory concentration, pH, organic acids, and sensorial properties of kombucha that contained cinnamon, cardamom, or Shirazi thyme. Results showed that kombucha samples containing cinnamon exhibited higher antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, more organic acids, and better sensorial scores. In the second part, properties of kombucha containing 25%–100% concentrations of cinnamon were evaluated. The result showed that by increasing the cinnamon concentration, certain increases were observed in the amounts of organic acids and in the magnitudes of antioxidants and antimicrobial activities. In conclusion, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of kombucha can be increased by adding medicinal plants, especially at higher concentrations.

“…TAC and plasma thiol (SH) groups increased, while plasma MDA levels decreased in subjects receiving the cinnamon extract (250 mg two times per day for 12 weeks) [84]. Table (4) showed the effect of halawa tahinia alone or in combination with either ginger or cinnamon on liver functions in rats.…”

Abstract:This study was performed to investigate the effect of halawa tahinia alone or in combination with ginger and cinnamon on sex hormones as well as serum antioxidant levels. Thirty Wistar adult male rat were divided into five groups, control group fed on basal diet only and test groups (n=24) divided into 4 groups as follow, group (1) fed on basal diet supplemented with halawa tahinia at the level of (15%), while the other three groups were fed on basal diet supplemented with halawa tahinia (15%) and were given orally (500 mg/kg/day) dried ginger, (500 mg/kg/day) dried cinnamon, both dried ginger and cinnamon (500 mg/kg/day) respectively for 8 weeks. The results indicated that, halawa tahinia have a high nutritive value. The obtained results revealed also that, oral administration of ginger and/ or cinnamon with halawa tahinia caused a significant (p<0.05) protective effects on testes due to increasing the levels of serum total testosterones, follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) also increasing serum total antioxidants capacity (TAC) levels with decreasing malondialdehyde (MDA) level as well as have no deleterious effects on liver functions as compared to control group. Moreover, both ginger and cinnamon administration has a synergistic effect on infertility due to their antioxidant properties. In conclusion: These results provide scientific evidence to substantiate the traditional use of cinnamon and ginger as a drink as well as Halawa tahinia in improving infertility in male rats which might be a product for their potent antioxidant properties and androgenic activities.

“…Regarding GPx and BMI, significant and negative correlation was found in Down syndrome individuals before and after the exercise training programme (P = 0.001 and 0.003, respectively). Similarly, Roussel et al [14] reported an inverse relationship between the erythrocyte cytoprotective enzyme GPx and BMI in healthy obese and overweight with impaired fasting blood glucose. On the other hand, Ordonez and Rosety-Rodriguez [15] reported that BMI was not significantly correlated to GPx in a study dealing with GPx activity and anthropometrical parameters in adolescents with Down syndrome.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of an electronic treadmill exercise training programme on malondialdehyde (MDA) as a marker for lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in adolescents with Down syndrome. The study was carried out on 30 adolescent males with Down syndrome, ranging in age from 15 to 18 years, with 30 healthy subjects as a control group. Clinical examination, anthropometric measurements and determination of GPx activity and MDA before and after exercise were done. A treadmill training programme was performed for 12 weeks. Our data showed a significant increase in GPx activity and decrease in serum level of MDA in Down syndrome individuals after treadmill exercise for 3 months. Exercise promotion for adolescents with Down syndrome requires attention to motivators and facilitators of exercise adherence as it may limit risk of increased neurological consequences associated with oxidative stress and improve quality of life. ‫داون‬ ‫بمتالزمة‬ ‫املصابني‬ ‫املراهقني‬ ‫يف‬ ‫التأكسدى‬ ‫اإلجهاد‬ ‫عىل‬ ‫الكهربائية‬ ‫املشاية‬ ‫بجهاز‬ ‫خمتار‬ ‫تدريبى‬ ‫برنامج‬ ‫إستخدام‬ ‫فعالية‬
