Aim: This study was designed to investigate the phytochemical profile and the cytotoxic activities of the eco-friendly extracts of olive leaves from Chemlali cultivar. Materials and Methods: The Phenolic composition of olive leaves extracts, the antioxidant activity and the cytotoxic effects against MCF-7 and HepG2 cells were determined. Results: Olive leaves extracts showed relevant total polyphenols contents. Oleuropein was the major detected phenolic compound reaching a concentration of 16.9 mg/ml. The antioxidant potential of the studied extracts varied from 23.7 to 46.5mM Trolox equivalents as revealed by DPPH and ABTS assays. Cytotoxicity experiments showed similar trends for both HepG2 and MCF-7 cells with the infusion extract being the most active. Conclusion: This study denotes that olive leaves may have great potential as endless bioresource of valuable bioactive compounds which may have a wide application.

This is the era of information and new technologies, among the brilliant inventions and advancement, Global system of mobile phone communication (GSM) makes the life as approachable as one can think. It changes the social relation and social network of an individual. Hence the mobile has two sides of a coin. Advantages and disadvantages are associated with every feasibility or inventions.  But some time blessings bring some harmful effects on the human body. Mobile phone uses radio waves. Some part of the radio wave is also absorbed in the body. The ear is the most exposed part of the body. The salivary gland is very close to the ear. Hence, the affected part of the cellular phone radiations is a salivary gland. In the current study, we collected the unstimulated saliva sample from volunteers to estimate the antioxidant profile of the mobile phone user. The Uric acids, Catalase, C Reactive Protein (CRP), Reduced Glutathione (GSH), and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) were included in the antioxidant profile. Uric acid, GSH, SOD was significantly decreased while CRP and Catalase were significantly increased. The result shows the increase the risk of inflammation and oxidative stress, which can predispose the cell phone user to a multitude of infectious & non-infectious oral diseases.

Abstract Background: The chicken egg is one of the nature’s flawlessly preserved biological products, recognized as an excellent source of nutrients for humans. Selenium (Se) is an essential micro-element that plays a key role in biological processes. Organic Se sources have shown many advantages over inorganic Se in poultry and can be produced biologically by microbial reduction of Se. Therefore, the possibility of integrating Se enriched bacteria as a supplement in poultry feed can provide an interesting source of organic Se, thereby increase egg Se concentration, improve oxidative stability and offer health-related advantages to humans. The objective of this study was to examine the effects inorganic and different organic Se sources on egg yolk colour, antioxidant profile, oxidative stability, and storage effect in relation to the treatments for fresh and stored egg yolk at 4±2 0C for 14 days. Results: The results reveals that dietary Se supplementation, especially the organic (ADS18 > Se-Yeast) sources influence (p < 0.05) egg yolk colour. Dietary inorganic Se and organic Se were noted to significantly improves egg yolk and breast meat antioxidants profile (total carotenoid and phenol content). There was a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in total cholesterol in fresh, stored egg yolk and breast muscle of Se treated groups compared with control. Whereas for breast muscle, only hens with organic Se supplementation (ADS18 > Se-Yeast) showed lower (p < 0.05) cholesterol compared to inorganic and control hens. The oxidative stability parameters of the eggs, breast and thigh muscle, and plasma showed a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in primary oxidation products (MDA) concentrations with hens supplemented with ADS18. However, the MDA content increased (p < 0.05) with an advanced storage period in egg yolk. It should be noted that, compared to inorganic Se and basal diets, egg yolk from hens fed with organic Se remain fresh for 2 weeks.Conclusions: Dietary Se organic supplementation (ADS18 > Se-Yeast) improves egg yolk colour, antioxidant profile, and oxidative status of egg yolk and tissue. For egg enrichment and antioxidant properties, the source of supplemented organic Se is essential. Thus, ‘’functional eggs’’ enriched with organic selenium becomes possible to produced.
