Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) is an important indicator for assessing the merit of natural plants and foods. Herein, a visual TAC assay is developed based on the oxidase-like activity of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes loaded with Fe nanoparticles (FeNPs@NCNT), which is prepared via high-temperature pyrolysis of metal-organic framework precursors and can catalyze the oxidation of colorless -phenylenediamine (OPD) to colored 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP). The addition of antioxidants (e.g., quercetin) impedes the formation of DAP, diminishing the color change, which can be analyzed via the RGB values obtained with a smartphone color-recognition APP, "Color Picker". The change of the optical signal can also be analyzed in the fluorescence mode. These two detection modes yield consistent TAC analysis of actual plant samples, in accord with results from the standard ABTS method. Results from this study highlight the unique potential of nanozymes in the development of effective TAC analysis platforms for natural plants and food.

This study was aim to investigate the effects of lipoic acid (ALA) on performance, meat quality, serum biochemistry and antioxidant function of broilers under heat stress (HS). Two hundred1-day-old Cobb broilers were randomly divided into four treatment groups and each treatment consisted of 4 replicates of 10 broilers each. The treatment group adopts a 2 × 2 two-factor setting, which is divided into two diets (basic diet or 250 mg/kg ALA diet) and two temperatures (24 ± 1℃ or 33 ± 1℃).

Herbicides such as paraquat (PQ) are frequently utilized particularly in developing nations. The present research concentrated on the pulmonary lesions triggered by PQ and the beneficial effect of the angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), sacubitril/valsartan, against such pulmonary damage. Five groups of rats were established: control, ARNI, PQ (10 mg/kg), ARNI 68 + PQ, and ARNI 34 + PQ.

Background: Bilirubin has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties, with an inverse relationship between its levels and cancer risk and prognosis. However, the prognostic value of serum bilirubin in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains uncertain.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed pretreatment serum total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) in 284 AML patients and 316 healthy controls.
