We are using a proteomic approach that combines two-dimensional electrophoresis and tandem mass spectrometry to detect and identify proteins that are differentially expressed in a cell line that is resistant to oxidative stress. The resistant cell line (OC14 cells) was
The potential inhibitory effect of ethoxyquin, an antioxidant commonly used as a preservative in the food processing industry (e.g., for stabilizing dissolved air flotation residuals), was evaluated at concentrations up to 300 mg/L using a mixed, mesophilic (35 degrees C)
Ethoxyquin (1,2-dihydro-6-ethoxy-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline, EQ) is widely used in various food products and in animal feeds because of its powerful antioxidant activity. This compound was recently found to cause not only many unfavourable side-effects in animals fed with feeds containing it, but
In our study, we analyzed the cytotoxicity of ethoxyquin (EQ) and its two salts, ethoxyquin hydrochloride (EQ-HCL) and ethoxyquin phosphate (EQ-P). It was shown that EQ was the most cytotoxic compound (IC(50) = 0.09 mM), while the lowest cytotoxic effect

An analytical method using HPLC with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FL) has been developed and applied for the survey of residue levels of ethoxyquin in a variety of food products of animal origin. HPLC was performed using a silica octadecylsilane column, butylhydroxytoluene-acetonitrile-water
