Impact of Processing and Preservation Methods and Storage on Total Phenolics, Flavonoids, and Antioxidant Activities of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.).

This study evaluated the effects of various processing and preservation techniques on the levels of phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant activities of okra. Blanching and freezing showed the highest retention of phenolics and antioxidants. As a scientist, this information can help you make informed decisions on how to process and preserve okra in your lab.

Carthamus tinctorius L. Seed and Taraxacum coreanum Attenuate Oxidative Stress Induced by Hydrogen Peroxide in SH-SY5Y Cells.

The combination of CTS and TC herbal medicines effectively protected SH-SY5Y cells from oxidative stress, increasing cell survival and reducing LDH release and apoptosis. The combination also inhibited NO and ROS generation and up-regulated antioxidant enzymes and Bcl-2 protein expression while down-regulating Bax expression. This suggests that using CTS and TC together could be beneficial for preventing and treating neurodegenerative diseases caused by oxidative stress.
