POSTHARVEST ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION IN FRUIT AND VEGETABLES: APPLICATIONS AND FACTORS MODULATING ITS EFFICACY ON BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS AND MICROBIAL GROWTH

Postharvest Ultraviolet Radiation in Fruit and Vegetables: Applications and Factors Modulating Its Efficacy on Bioactive Compounds and Microbial Growth

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been considered a deleterious agent that living organisms must avoid.However, many of the acclimation changes elicited by UV induce a wide range of positive effects in plant physiology through the elicitation of secondary antioxidant metabolites and natural defenses.Therefore, this fact has changed the original UV con

Near Fixed Point Theorems in Hyperspaces

The hyperspace consists of all the subsets of a vector space.It is well-known that the hyperspace is not a vector space because it lacks the concept of inverse element.This also says that we cannot consider its Cool Tool normed structure, and some kinds of fixed point theorems cannot be established in this space.In this paper, we shall propose the

Intestinal alkaline phosphatase activity as a molecular marker of enterotoxicity induced by single dose of 5-fluorouracil and protective role of orally administered glutamine

Background.One of the critical limitations for the administration of the chemotherapy is the toxicity affecting normal tissue.The main target organs for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) toxicity in humans and experimental animals are the gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and skin.The cytotoxic effects of antimetabolite chemotherapy are based on their role
