Screening of bioactive lipids and radical scavenging potential of some solanaceae plants

Antioxidant, antihyperuricemic and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities ofHyoscyamus reticulatus

“…Our results show that the antioxidant capacity of the H. reticulatus extract is dose-dependent. Several Hyoscyamus species of different origins have been previously reported to posses antioxidant activities Ramadan et al, 2007;Tawaha et al, 2007). The antioxidant capacity measured in the ABTS…”

Deacidification of High-acid Olive Oil

“…It could be said that the RSA of oils can be interpreted as the combined action of different endogenous antioxidants. However, when polar fractions, which contain mainly polar lipids and low levels of phenolics, are found in high levels, strong RSA of these components can be expected as well as synergistic activity with primary antioxidants [30,31]. …”

Apricot and pumpkin oils reduce plasma cholesterol and triacylglycerol concentrations in rats fed a high-fat diet

“…Separation of ST was performed after saponification of the oil sample without derivatization according APRICOT AND PUMPKIN OILS REDUCE PLASMA CHOLESTEROL AND TRIACyLGLyCEROL CONCENTRATIONS IN RATS FED A… to (Ramadan et al, 2007). Oil samples (250 mg) were refluxed with a 5 mL ethanolic potassium hydroxide solution (6%, w/v) and a few anti-bumping granules for 60 min.…”
