Received: 20 September 2010 / Accepted: 20 October 2010 / Published: 22 October 2010 Abstract: Oxidative stress, i.e. excessive content of reactionary, oxygen, and nitrogen compounds (ROAC), including free radicals, is one of the causes of various dangerous diseases as well as premature aging. The adverse effect of free radicals can be neutralized by antioxidants. In order to carry out antioxidant therapy, one needs to know the contents of antioxidants in food products. We have created the databank for the contents of antioxidants in 1,140 food products, beverages, etc. Apart from water-soluble antioxidants, fat-soluble antioxidants in dairy and fish products, cacao, chocolate, nuts etc. were determined for the first time using an amperometric method. Keywords: water- and fat-soluble antioxidants; amperometric method; antioxidant therapy; databank 1. Introduction Over the past decades various studies from different countries have confirmed that oxidative stress is one of the main causes of premature aging and many other diseases [1-8].

  • Niko Pirosmanashvili's Picture Language and Photography*
    Niko Pirosmanashvili’s Picture Language and Photography* *This is a slightly reduced version of an article previously written in Georgian for Ars Georgica, 2012 www.georgianart.ge Speaking of the originality and singularity of Georgian culture would not be correct from the professional point of view. However, if we eliminate the sublime tone and pathos inherent in this kind of discussion and consider the historical circumstances that have influenced the formation of national thinking in general, and creative thinking in particular in Georgia, we find an opportunity to discuss them more objectively. The country’s native inheitance situated as it is on the edge of Europe and Asia, and between two regions dominated by different religious beliefs, culture and political systems, has given many things to modern Georgia. Our country bordered directly the Ancient Near East states, the Hellenic world, and the Christian Byzantine and Muslim East and has a complex history of interactions with them.1 In the late middle ages, at the time of dissolution of the Georgian state into smaller political units - the country first entered the Russian Empire with the status of ‘province,’ later gaining the title of the ‘viceroy of Caucasus’. Under Russian rule Georgia gained her first real chance to continue its dialogue with the West after a long break. And so her European impulses were transformed through russification. In the 1840s Grigol Maisuradze - the freed serf formely belonging to Prince Alexander Cavchavadze (Georgian poet, public benefactor and military figure; 1786-1846) came to study at the Imperial Academy of Art in St. Petersburg.
