The protective effect of 3 areca inflorescence extracts (boiling water extract, ambient temperature water extract and ethanol extract) on hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative damage to human serum albumin was investigated by comparing with Trolox, the water soluble vitamin E. Protein carbonyl grou ...
Betel quid chewing is a widely prevalent habit correlated with a high incidence of oral cancer. However, the underlying mechanism of the carcinogenicity of betel quid chewing is poorly understood. In the present study, the carcinogenic mechanism of action of betel quid chewing was examined by det ...
In order to locate the exact chelation site, the chelation between quercetin and Cr(III) ion is studied using the theoretical methods. Many different potential complexes, formed with natural and deprotonated quercetin chelating bare and hydrated Cr(III) ion, respectively, are studied by using Den ...
Flavonoid–metal complex is reported to exhibit a higher antioxidant activity than parent flavonoid. In this paper, experimental and theoretical methods are applied to study the antioxidant properties of quercetin and quercetin–Cr(III) complex, to find out the antioxidant activity variation an ...
