Abstract:
... Curcumin is known as an anti-tumor, anti-aging, and wound healing promoter. The aim this study was to examine the effect of 2% curcumin paste application on primary wound healing in a palatal rat model. A mid-crestal incision was initiated on the maxillary alveolar ridge. A full thickness flap was raised on either side of the incision and was then repositioned and sutured. Experimental groups cons ...

Abstract:
... The extracellular matrix, mainly composed of collagen, is a mechanical barrier against infective agents, including viruses. High glycine availability is needed for a healthy collagen turnover. Glycine produced by human metabolism is much lower than the cell’s needs giving a general glycine deficiency of 10 g/day in humans. This effect was tested for three years in 127 volunteers who had virus infe ...

Abstract:
... RG-I rich pectic polysaccharide is common in fruit and vegetable and possesses health benefits. However, it is removed during commercial pectin production because of poor gelling properties. Synergistic gelation can improve rheological properties of RG-I pectic polysaccharide and expand its application in functional food hydrocolloids. In the study, RG-I rich pectic polysaccharides at different de ...
