Article Synopsis
- Prickly pear seed oil is highly valuable, containing essential fatty acids like linoleic (74%) and palmitic (13%), and its extraction produces a significant amount of nutrient-rich press cake.
- The study evaluated both the oil and press cake for their fatty acid and phytochemical compositions, assessing their antioxidant properties and effects on various enzymes.
- Findings suggest that the oil has potent antioxidant and enzyme-inhibitory effects, highlighting its potential benefits and encouraging the use of press cake as livestock feed.
Background: many previous studies have demonstrated the therapeutic potential of total oil fractions, neutral lipids (NLs), glycolipids (GLs), phospholipids (PLs), and unsaponifiable (IS) in asthma patients. We therefore tested its effect on airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells by observing its ability to regulate the production of glucocorticoid (GC)-insensitive chemokines in cells treated with TNF-α/IFN-γ, and its antioxidative and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging properties.
Materials And Methods: the cytotoxicity of oil fractions was assessed using an MTT assay.
