Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate antioxidative activities of the encapsulated and unencapsulated bitter orange peel extract on the shelf-life of the common carp fillets during 16 days of refrigerated storage. Common carp fillets were treated with bitter orange peel extract (0.5 and 1% w/w), liposomal encapsulated bitter orange peel extract (0.5 and 1% w/w) and beta-hydroxytoluene (BHT, 100 and 200 ppm); their quality changes in terms of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), free fatty acid (FFA) peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and sensory characteristics were investigated. Results showed that the encapsulated and pure extract and BHT could reduce chemical deterioration and lipid oxidation in the fillets compared to the control, as reflected with lower TVBN, FFA, PV and TBA values. Furthermore, common carp fillets treated with high concentration (1%) of the encapsulated bitter orange peel extract showed the lowest amount of lipid oxidation during the storage period compared with the others without any undesirable changes in sensorial attributes.

This study investigated the effect of the anti-anginal drug, fendiline, on intracellular free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i)inHA/ 22 human hepatoma cells by using fura-2 as a fluorescent Ca2+ dye. Fendiline (1-100 μM) increased [Ca2+]i with an EC50 of 25 μM. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ reduced the [Ca2+]i signals by 51-5%. Fendiline (10 μM)-induced Ca2+release was abolished by pretreatment with 1 μM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor). Inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 μM 1-(6-((17β 3 methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl)amino)hexyl)-1H pyrrole-2,5-dione (U73122) did not alter 10 μM fendilineinducedCa2+ release.Severalothercalmodulinantagonists, such as phenoxybenzamine (100-200 μM), trifluoperazine (5-50 μM),andfluphenazine N-chloroethane(2-100 μM), hadno effect on[Ca2+]i. Together, it wasfound that fendiline increased [Ca2+]i in human hepatoma cells by discharging Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum in an inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate-independent manner and by inducing Ca2+entry. This effect of fendiline does not appear to be via antagonism of calmodulin.
