Development and validation of high-performance liquid chromatography-Orbitrap mass spectrometric method for quantification of NDMA in ranitidine drug products and evaluation of antioxidants as inhibitors of classical nitrosation reaction
CONCLUSIONS: This study compared the effectiveness of antioxidants as NDMA attenuators in ranitidine under storage conditions susceptible to NDMA generation. The study concluded that ascorbic acid and trolox are potent inhibitors of NDMA formation and nitrosation attenuators in ranitidine drug products.PMID:38600640 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9747 (Source: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM)

Antioxidants accelerate tendon-to-bone healing after rotator cuff repair surgery
This study aimed to investigate the effects of reduction of oxidative stress induced by antioxidants such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and vitamin C (VC) on rotator cuff repair in a rotator cuff repair model in rats. Infraspinatus tendon was ruptured in 48 rats and repaired 1 week later. Rats were divided into 3 groups: NAC group, VC group, or control group, and were administered NAC, VC, or distilled water respectively. The specimens were collected at 3, 6, and 12 weeks after repair. Histological evaluation was performed using hematoxylin/eosin and toluidine blue staining, and oxidative stress was evaluated using dihydroethi...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1732: Effect of the Drying Method and Storage Conditions on the Quality and Content of Selected Bioactive Compounds of Green Legume Vegetables
This study aimed to determine the effect of the drying method (freeze-drying, air-drying), storage period (12 months), and storage conditions (2–4 °C, 18–22 °C) applied to two legume species: green beans and green peas. The raw and dried materials were determined for selected physical parameters typical of dried vegetables, contents of bioactive components (vitamin C and E, total chlorophyll, total carotenoids, β-carotene, and total polyphenols), antioxidative activity against the DPPH radical, and sensory attributes (overall quality and profiles of color, te...

GSE171850 Global change of microRNA expression induced by vitamin C treatment on immature boar Sertoli cells
Contributors : Cai-Xia Yang ; Zhi-Qiang DUSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Sus scrofaSertoli cells (SCs), the only somatic constituent of the testicular seminiferous epithelium, are vital to spermatogenesis. We previously found that vitamin C (ascorbic acid, AA) can reprogram the transcriptome, and promote the proliferation and reproductive function of pig immature SCs (iSCs). However, the global change of microRNAs (miRNA) expression and its effect on pig iSCs as induced by vitamin C treatment is still unknown. Here, we performed small RNA sequencing on pig iSCs after 250 μM AA...

This study aimed to evaluate the P. niruri L. whole plant extract (PNE) for secondary metabolite assay (total phenolic and terpenoid content) followed by the potential antioxidant activity (ABTS diammonium salt radical assay, DPPH· activity, superoxide anion (O2-) radicals' assay, and nitric oxide (NO) radical generation) and antidiabetic activity in vivo and in vitro in streptozotocin (STZ) induced albino mice. PNE showed good scavenging activity with a value of 286.45 ± 6.55 mg TE/g and 194.54 ± 4.64 mg TE/g in ABTS and DPPH assays respectively. In the superoxide anion assay, the PNE caused a dose-dependent inhibition...

Since the precise mechanisms of Cr(VI) detoxification and its interactions with human gut microbiota were unknown, a novel dual-chamber simulated intestinal (DCSI) system was developed to maintain both the stability of the simulated system and the composition of the gut microbiota. Probiotic GR-1 was found to regulate intestinal gut microbiot...
