Protective Action of Reduced Water Against Alloxan-Induced Cytotoxicity in Pancreatic β-Cell
Previous studies showed that reduced water (RW) such as electrolyzed-reduced water (ERW) and natural reduced water (NRW) scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), protected DNA from oxidative damage, and stimula...

Caps, Cors, Dehydrins, and Molecular Chaperones: Their Relationship with Low Temperature Responses in Spinach
When exposed to low non-freezing temperatures (0–10°C), the freezing tolerance of spinach increases in a time dependent fashion from an LT50 of -4°C to -14°C. Associated with the low temperature induction of f...
