BackgroundObesity is a serious chronic metabolic disease impairing health damaging many organs such as kidneys and muscles. Ovothiol-A (Ovo-A) has been found to keep the redox balance normal in sea urchins indicating its antioxidant characteristics.AimThis study aims to investigate the protective effects of Ovo-A on kidneys and muscles in obese rats.MethodsIn-silco studies were performed on lactate dehydrogenase (LD Read More

BackgroundCynara cardunculus is frequently used in Mediterranean cuisine and is known for its possible medicinal properties. These properties are usually related to the presence of specific bioactive compounds present in the leaves of the artichoke. On the other hand, the root parts of the artichoke have not been subjected to extensive studies so far.ObjectiveThe main objective of this study was to conduct a chemical analy Read More
