Protective effects of quercetin against apoptosis and oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat testis

TL;DR: It is suggested that administration of QE is a potentially beneficial agent to reduce testicular damage in diabetic rats by decreasing oxidative stress and a significant reduction in the activity of in situ identification of apoptosis using terminal dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL).

Hepatoprotective effect of quercetin: From chemistry to medicine.

TL;DR: Overall, data in literature shows that QE appears to be a promising hepatoprotective compound, including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory,Anti-apoptotic and hepatoprotsective activities against various hepatic ailments.

Puerarin protects rat kidney from lead-induced apoptosis by modulating the PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway

TL;DR: Results suggested that the inhibition of Pb-induced apoptosis by puerarin is due at least in part to its antioxidant activity and its ability to modulate the PI3K/Akt/eNOS signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

The antagonistic effect of selenium on lead-induced apoptosis via mitochondrial dynamics pathway in the chicken kidney.

TL;DR: It is speculated that Pb could increase the oxidative stress and promote the apoptosis via regulating mitochondrial dynamics and apoptosis-related genes, and Se exhibited antagonistic roles against the Pb-induced apoptosis in the kidney of chickens.

Quercetin protects the rat kidney against oxidative stress-mediated DNA damage and apoptosis induced by lead

TL;DR: It is suggested that quercetin could protect the rat kidney against lead-induced injury by improving renal function, attenuating histopathologic changes, reducing ROS production, renewing the activities of antioxidant enzymes, decreasing DNA oxidative damage and apoptosis.

Catalase in vitro

Hugo Aebi
TL;DR: In this article, the catalytic activity of catalase has been investigated using ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry and Titrimetric methods, which is suitable for comparative studies for large series of measurements.

Studies on the quantitative and qualitative characterization of erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase

TL;DR: Glutathione peroxidase activity is found to be associated with a relatively stable, nondialyzable, heat-labile, intracellular component which is separable from hemoglobin, by gel filtration and ammonium sulfate precipitation.

Free Radicals in the Physiological Control of Cell Function

Wulf Dröge
TL;DR: There is growing evidence that aging involves, in addition, progressive changes in free radical-mediated regulatory processes that result in altered gene expression.

Determination of malonaldehyde precursor in tissues by thiobarbituric acid test

TL;DR: It was concluded that the deproteinization of homogenate prior to coloration is not needed, but double wavelength measurement is necessary to avoid interference and the reaction should be performed with phosphoric acid at a definite pH near 2.0.
