Anthocyanins enriched purple tea exhibits antioxidant, immunostimulatory and anticancer activities
(Springer India, 2017)
Purple coloured tea shoot clones have gained interest due to high content of anthocyanins in addition to catechins. Transcript expression of genes encoding anthocyanidin reductase (ANR), dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR), ...
Phytochemical Ginkgolide B Attenuates Amyloid- 1 - 42 Induced Oxidative Damage and Altered Cellular Responses in Human Neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y Cells
(IOS Press, 2017)
Oxidative stress is an upsurge in reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), which aggravates damage to cellular components viz. lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids resulting in impaired cellular functions and neurological ...
Bioactive constituents in pulses and their health benefits
(Springer India, 2017)
Pulses are good sources of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, phytosterols and non-digestible carbohydrates that play important physiological as well as metabolic roles. These compounds vary in concentration amongst ...
Composition, bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of common Indian fruits and vegetables
(Springer India, 2016)
The present work was undertaken to evaluate the chemical composition (proximate, minerals and dietary fibre), colour parameters, antioxidant activity and polyphenol profiles of different fruits (pomegranate, kinnow, mango, ...
Pyramiding of tea Dihydroflavonol reductase and Anthocyanidin reductase increases flavan-3-ols and improves protective ability under stress conditions in tobacco
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the richest sources of flavan-3-ols, an important class of flavonoids. The expression level of gene-encoded key regulatory enzymes of flavan-3-ol/anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway, ...
Oxidative stress responses to sub-lethal dose of Cry toxin in the larvae of castor semilooper, Achaea janata
(Central University of Punjab, 2018)
Development of synthetic insecticides to reduce the level of infestation led to deleterious effects on environment and human health. This lead to the development of ecofriendly pest management alternatives including Bacillus ...
Assessment of Extract of Syzygium cumini Against Doxorubicin Induced Cardiotoxicity
(Central University of Punjab, 2018)
For the past four decades, doxorubicin (DOX) has been used to treat cancer, mainly solid tumours and haematological malignancies. However, clinical community is greatly concerned regarding the administration of this as DOX ...
Assessment of antioxidant potential of phytochemicals in human glioblastoma (U-87 MG) cells
(Central University of Punjab, 2014)
Imbalance between production of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) leads to oxidative stress and has been well documented for mitochondrial dysfunction, a prime cause towards pathogenesis of neurological diseases ...
Cross-priming accentuates key biochemical and molecular indicators of defense and improves cold tolerance in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
(Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of Slavic Studies, 2019)
Cold environment favors long vegetative phase but also impose substantial loss by damaging reproductive functioning in chickpea. Field temperature below 10��C is even more detrimental for reproductive development, enhances ...
A review on phytotoxicity and defense mechanism of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on plants
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2023-03-16)
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are noteworthy used nanomaterials in a wide array of fields, particularly in the agricultural sector. Plants play a multifarious role in the ecosystem and provide a source of food for mankind. ...
