In the present work, a label immunoquantification procedure was developed in order to determine the number of markers introduced into DNA. A non-enzymatic, in vitro labeling method for introducing the p-bromobenzoyl radical (label), through transamination and acylation reactions of the cytidine nucleotides in calf thymus DNA, was carried out. Three spacer arms with different lengths were used for separating the label from the nucleotide and three labeled DNA were obtained. Anti-p-bromobenzoyl chicken IgY polyclonal antibodies were obtained. The antibodies detected the label, into three-labeled DNA, with different sensitivities, in relation to spacer arm length used. About 3-11 labels per 4 x 10(6) bases into thermally denatured DNA were immunoquantified.

The accurate quantification of glycemic index (GI) remains crucial for diabetes management, yet current methodologies are constrained by resource intensiveness and methodological limitations. digestion models face challenges in replicating the dynamic conditions of the human gastrointestinal tract, such as enzyme variability and multi-time point analysis, leading to suboptimal predictive accuracy. This review proposes an integrated technological framework combining non-enzymatic electrochemical sensing with artificial intelligence to revolutionize GI assessment.

Oxidative stress refers to the phenomenon in which the redox balance of the body is disrupted in response to stimuli, leading to an excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species in vivo, which can lead to a variety of diseases. In contrast to artificial antioxidants, whose safety is controversial, natural antioxidants, which are widely available, pharmacologically active, and have little toxic side effects, are expected to be candidates for the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases.

The current study aimed to assess the preventive effects of aqueous leaf extract of Pistacia lentiscus (ALEPL) against Oxaliplatin (OXA)-induced DNA damage, hepatic injury, and oxidative stress. The in vitro cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of OXA and ALEPL on HCT116 colon cancer cells were evaluated using the MTT (Tetrazolium salt reduction) assay and comet assay. The in vivo study involved 24 female NMRI (Naval Medical Research Institute) mice that were equally divided into four groups as follows: Control group, ALEPL-treated group (100 mg/kg), OXA-treated group (7 mg/kg), and ALEPL-treated group (100mg/kg) + OXA (7mg/kg).

Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) are the end result of the irreversible, non-enzymatic glycation of proteins by reducing sugars. These chemical modifications accumulate with age and have been associated with various age-related and diabetic complications. AGEs predominantly accumulate on proteins with slow turnover rates, of which collagen is a prime example.
