The antioxidative activity was estimated in terms of equivalent-glutathione (EG‚ in nmoles equivalent-glutathione per gram of dry plant material selected (eg/gdp))‚ and compared to those of soya beans and garlic bulbs. The EG value increased with decreasing dilution factors‚ regardless to the plant type‚ suggesting a strong influence of the

What is Cancer? All living things are comprised of a variety of cells‚ such as kidney cells‚ brain cells and skin cells. Cancer develops when a particular cell mutates‚ then begins to grow and divide. Eventually‚ these cells form a mass called a malignant tumor‚ which often starts to invade surrounding tissue and organs. Super Foods It is thought that up to one third of cancer related deaths could be diet related. Many of the foods we eat today can in fact be harmful to the cells in our bodies

A 2001 study in the journal Carcinogenesis demonstrated how‚ after exposure to sunlight‚ the dermal application of EGCG can effectively reduce the body’s oxidative stress and increase its enzyme and amino acid activity (mainly catalase and glutathione).

There are as many as 100 thousand kinds of proteins that constitute the body‚ and these comprise only 20 kinds of amino acids in various combinations. These 20 kinds of amino acids are essential to the body. In addition to being the materials for proteins‚ they are used as an energy source for the body as necessary. Further‚ each amino acid plays an important and unique role in the body. The list below shows the role of each amino acid. | Valine Leucine Isoleucine | All of these 3 amino acids

Within the peroxisome‚ hydrogen peroxide can then be converted to water by enzymes like catalase and peroxidase. Glyoxysomes Glyoxysomes are specialized peroxisomes found in plants and mold‚ which help to convert stored lipids into carbohydrates so they can be used for plant growth. In glyoxysomes the fatty acids are hydrolyzed to acetyl-CoA by peroxisomal

WTHESIS STATEMENT: “BIOCONVERSION OF WATER HYACINTH (EICHHORNIA CRASSIPES) TO ETHANOL.” 1. INTRODUCTION Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a free-floating or rooted in mud plant or weed which can totally cover fresh water lakes‚ harbors‚ and other essentially relatively occluded fresh water bodies. It is a fast growing permanent aquatic plant that are extensively scattered all throughout the world. This tropical plant can be the reason for the infestation over large areas of water resources

THE EFFECTS OF CIGARETTE SMOKE TO PHOTOSYNTHESIS Increased Carbon Dioxide Smoke of all kinds‚ including cigarette smoke‚ increases the amount of carbon dioxide where it is present (since smoke is itself produced via combustion). Plants use carbon dioxide to make sugars (during photosynthesis). Its increased abundance‚ therefore‚ makes it easier for the plant to obtain. Thus‚ smoking near a plant actually makes it easier for that plant to obtain much-needed carbon dioxide. Hampering Photosynthesis
