Öğe Plantago major protective effects on antioxidant status after administration of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene in rats(Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention, 2011) Oto, Gökhan; Ekin, Suat; Özdemir, Hülya; Demir, Halit; Yaşar, Semih; Levent, Abdulkadir; Berber, İsmet; Kaki, BarışAim: The present study was designed to evaluate effects of Plantago major extract on oxidative status in Wistar albino rats administrated 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). Methods: Rats were divided into three equal groups of 6 animals each: Group 1 controls, group 2 treated with DMBA (100 mg/kg, single dose) and group 3 receiving the DMBA and the aqueous extract at 100 mg/kg/d for 60 days. Results: Significant decrease in catalase (P<0.05), carbonic anhydrase (p≤0.01), reduced glutathione (GSH) (P<0.01) and total protein (P<0.01) values was observed in the DMBA group compared with the healthy controls and DMBA + Plantago major groups. Conclusion: The results suggest preventive effects of Plantago major on DMBA induced oxidative damage in Wistar albino rats that might be due to decreased free radical generation.Öğe Electrooxidation of thiourea and its square-wave voltammetric determination using pencil graphite electrode(Walter de Gruyter, 2011-04-01) Levent, Abdulkadir; Keskin, Ertuğrul; Yardım, Yavuz; Şentürk, ZühreThe electrochemical properties of thiourea (TU) were investigated in pH range 2.0-12.0 by cyclic and square-wave voltammetry. The compound was irreversibly oxidized at a pencil graphite electrode in one or two oxidation steps which are pH-dependent. Based on the voltammetric peak for the second oxidation process of TU in phosphate buffer at pH 12.0, a square-wave voltammetric method was proposed for the determination of the compound in the range 6.3-30μm, with a detection limit of 1.29μm. The applicability to direct assays of wastewaters was also tested.
