Anticoccidial effects of Khaya senegalensis aqueous stem bark extract on broiler chickens experimentally infected with Eimeria species
(Springer, 2020)Graded concentrations (200, 400 and 800 mg/kg) of the aqueous stem bark extract of Khaya senegalensis was evaluated for its therapeutic efficacy against experimentally induced coccidiosis in broiler chicken. The phytochemical ... -
Antioxidant properties of 4-quinolones and structurally related flavones
(Elsevier, 2012)Neurodegenerative disorders are frequently associated with increased oxidative damage to the brain as a result of free radicals produced by cellular respiration. The onset and progression of neurodegeneration may therefore ... -
The antioxidant properties of bufadienolides, analogous to the orbicusides of Cotyledon orbiculata L. var orbiculata (Haw.) DC
(2014)The use of traditional and natural medicines in primary healthcare or alternative therapy is on the increase. However, the safety and efficacy of these medicines have not yet been confirmed. Pharmacognosy, the study of the ... -
Antioxidant properties of Lippia javanica (Burm.f.) Spreng.
(North-West University, 2010)The evolution of aerobic metabolic processes unavoidably led to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS have the ability to cause harmful oxidative damage to biomolecules. Increased ROS generation and subsequent ... -
The antioxidant properties, cytotoxicity and monoamine oxidase inhibition abilities of the crude dichloromethane extract of Tarchonanthus camphoratus L. leaves
(Academic Journals, 2011)Tarchonanthus camphoratus (camphor bush) has been widely used for numerous medicinal purposes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant properties, cytotoxicity and monoamine oxidase inhibition activities ... -
Biosynthesis, electrochemical, antimicrobial and antioxidant studies of silver nanoparticles mediated by talinum triangulare aqueous leaf extract
(Springer, 2017)Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized using leaf extract of Talinum triangulare (TT). The nanoparticles were characterised using Infra-red spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron ... -
A comparative study of the antioxidant properties of chalcone derivatives through the Fe chelation mechanism
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)This dissertation reports the results of a theoretical investigation on the conformational and antioxidant properties of four chalcone derivatives, namely butein, homobutein, kanakugiol and pedicellin, through their Fe ... -
Coordination behaviours of new (bidentate N,O-chelating) Schiff bases towards copper(II) and nickel(II) metal ions: synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and DFT studies
(SpringerSpringer, 2017)Two Schiff bases, HL1 and HL2, were synthesized in two different reactions involving 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde with 2-amino-6-methylbenzothiazole and 2-amino-6-florobenzothiazole respectively. Copper(II) and nickel(II) ... -
Effects of exercise on alterations in redox homeostasis in elite male and female endurance athletes using a clinical point-of-care test
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2016)Exercise causes alterations in redox homeostasis (ARH). Measuring ARH in elite athletes may aid in the identification of training tolerance, fatigued states, and underperformance. To the best of our knowledge, no studies ... -
Evaluation of the antioxidative potential of diisopropyldithiocarbamates sodium salt on diclofenac-induced toxicity in male albino rats
(Elsevier, 2022)Diclofenac (DIC) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which is known to induce oxidative stress. Dithiocarbamates are compounds with proven antioxidant effect. The aim of the present study was to investigate ...
