Development of colloidal lignin particles through particle design strategies an...
Colucci, G; Santamaria Echart, A; Silva, SC; Teixeira, LG; Ribeiro, A; Rodrigues, AE; Barreiro, MFColloidal lignin particles (CLPs) have increased interest as green and sustainable materials for Pickering stabilizers, with particle design being an important step towards their effective use. In this context, the antisolvent precipitation method was selected to conduct a study aiming at understanding the effect of process variables (initial lignin concentration, antisolvent pH, final ethanol concentration, an...
Ginkgo biloba L. Leaf Extract Protects HepG2 Cells Against Paraquat-Induced Oxi...
Silva, AM; Silva, SC; Soares, JP; Martins-Gomes, C; Teixeira, JP; Leal, F; Gaivão, IGinkgo biloba L. leaf extracts and herbal infusions are used worldwide due to the health benefits that are attributed to its use, including anti-neoplastic, anti-aging, neuro-protection, antioxidant and others. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an aqueous Ginkgo biloba extract on HepG2 cell viability, genotoxicity and DNA protection against paraquat-induced oxidative damage. Exposure to paraqu...
