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)
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
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
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
2,2,4,7-Tetramethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) is a new synthetic compound with potential antioxidant activity. In this study, cytotoxic, genotoxic and antioxidant activities of THQ were studied on human lymphocytes with the use of the trypan blue exclusion assay, the TUNEL method, the comet
