Triacylglycerols of the seed oil ofLinum grandiflorumDesf.: Their composition, cytotoxicity, and hepatoprotective activity

Abstract

The seed oil of Linum grandiflorum was used for centuries as food additive and medicine due to its high content of omega-3. The presented study aimed to characterize the triacylglycerols (TAGs)

Efficiency of the leaves and fruits of Aegle marmelos methanol extract (L.) Correa and their relative hepatotoxicity induced by CCL4 and identification of their active constituents by using LC/MS/MS

“…Histopathological examinations of intoxicated liver also supported the biochemical results, by CCl 4 -exposed mice for 48 h showed vacuolar degeneration and micro-fatty changes. These results were in agreement with [45,46], who reported that after CCl 4 treatment, significant liver damage was observed with classic histology of cirrhosis, coagulated necrosis, massive fibrosis, fatty degeneration and formation of regenerative nodules, the treatment of methanolic extracts of Juniperus phoenicea and Cupressus sempervirens for 30 successive days showed amelioration effect on CCl 4 induced hepatotoxicity, decreased steatosis, reduction in central vein dilation and normalization of hepatocytes [46].…”

Chemical compositions and hypoglycemic activities of the protein and mucilage of Casimiroa edulis (Llave & Lex) seeds and fruits

“…Liver functions enzymes in serum: Total protein content, albumin level, ALT and AST and ALP as reported previously by Mohammed et al (2018), (GGT) (Hyder et al, 2013). Antioxidant parameters: Lipid peroxide, glutathione concentration (GSH) and catalase as reported by Sadek et al (2016) previously.…”
