| Abstract | This study was aimed to investigate the differential protective effect of dietary flavonoids against oxidative stress induced by proinflammatory stimuli in parenchymal liver cells. Chang Liver cells were incubated with a cytokine mixture (CM) supplemented with the flavonols quercetin and kaempferol, the flavanone taxifolin and the flavone apigenin (5-50 microM). Concentrations of oxidised and reduced glutathione, generation of different ROS/RNS, and expression of antioxidant enzymes were measured. Oxidised glutathione concentration and the oxidised/reduced glutathione ratio were increased by the CM. These effects were significantly prevented by quercetin, kaempferol and taxifolin at all tested concentrations. Effects of apigenin reached a lesser extent and were not significant at 25 microM. Treatment with quercetin and kaempferol prevented the production of peroxides, superoxide anion and nitric oxide induced by CM. Taxifolin 50 microM and apigenin 25-50 microM caused a significant increase in peroxides and nitric oxide generation. Protein concentration of the different antioxidant enzymes was generally reduced by kaempferol and quercetin in comparison to CM, although quercetin 25 and 50 microM increased Mn SOD protein concentration. GPx protein level was significantly increased by apigenin 25 and 50 microM. Changes in mRNA tended to be parallel to those in protein concentration. Our study reveals that important differences exist between flavonoids with different structural features in their capacity to abrogate the generation of different ROS/RNS, and suggests that the modulation of antioxidant enzymes by flavonoids may be also important in their antioxidant effects in liver cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
