. creber was also reported as among the lower producers of STC (Jurjevic et al. 2013).
Therefore, the lack of knowledge of this species recently assigned to section Versicolores has attracted our attention to more explore and study this species. In our research A. creber was assayed for its secondary metabolites diversity using UHPLC-MS/MS technique. Then, the antimicrobial activity of A. creber against some human pathogens and its ability to scavenge different free radicals, and to produce antioxidant

Introduction
Oxidative stress refers to an imbalance, which is caused by high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and low levels of antioxidant activity (Preiser 2012). The excessive ROS can damage enzymes, fatty acids, proteins, nucleic acids, and other physiological substances of cells, which leads to structure and function disorders (Dizdaroglu et al. 1992; Wu et al. 2014). The oxidative stress can cause various diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, asthma, allergies, and

Bipolar disorder is a chronic disease characterized by recurring episodes of mania and depression that can lead to disability. This study investigates the protective effects of edaravone (3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one), a drug with well-known antioxidant properties, in a model of mania induced by ketamine in rats. Locomotor activity was assessed in the open-field test. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels were measured in

adult male Wistar rats. FRHT was administered to the animals ad libitum for 7 weeks prior to the induction of ischemic injury via a 20-minute bilateral occlusion of the common carotid arteries (BCCAO) followed by reperfusion for 24, 96 and 168 hours respectively. Neurobehavioural deficits, brain oedema, blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage, apoptosis, lipid peroxidation and total antioxidant capacity were subsequently evaluated using standard methods. Our results showed that long-term consumption of

Human population in the XXI century is struggling with the increasing incidence of such diseases as obesity, diabetes, cancers, food allergies and many others. Recent studies have shown that oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species and free radicals, may underlie the occurrence of many diseases. Probiotics are known for their beneficial effects on health and are established as dietary adjuncts. Researchers are trying to find potential probiotic strains which can exhibit antioxidant

provided by the antioxidant system (Banerjee et al., 2003). Although the mechanisms of skeletal muscle fatigue have been described in detail (Boyas and Guével, 2011), the problem of preventing or correcting muscle fatigue remains unresolved. In studies of muscle fatigue, endogenous antioxidants, such as N-acetylcysteine and β-alanine, are widely used and speed up the muscle recovery process after fatigue (Reid et al., 1994; Harris and Sale, 2012). Recently, it was shown that bioactive soluble carbon

The brain tissues were evaluated for antioxidant capacity, mitochondrial enzymes and oxidative phosphorylation efficiency along with the progression of calcification. The results suggested that renal failure, elevated the calcium, phosphorus product in the brain. The brain cytoplasm and mitochondrial fractions showed an elevated TBARS and a corresponding decline in the antioxidant

Treatment of antioxidant ascorbic acid or apocynin was able to reverse the increase of oxidative stress and the decline of TCA fiber density, rather than the shrinkage of dendrites and the stripping of dendritic spines of stellate neurons post-lesion. Together, these results indicate that sustained epidural compression of primary

Futhermore, the basics of demeclocycline application in the treatment of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone hypesecretion syndrome and rifaximin use as an anti-inflammatory and eubiotic agent are presented. Neuroprotective action of ceftriaxone and anti-inflammatory and immunostimulatory action of fusafungine were also described.

Results concluded that, EPS exhibited antibacterial activity against Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus faecalis and the highest antibacterial activity (7.8, 9 and 10.4 AU/ml) was against S. faecalis at 50, 100 and 200 mg/ml respectively. The EPS exhibited various degree of antitumor effect toward the tested cell lines (MCF-7, HCT-116 and HepG2). In addition, EPS exhibited antiviral activity at 500 μg/ml. The antioxidant
