Thus, a number of antioxidant peptides, normally composed of 3 to 16 amino acid residues, are forming the research materials in order to gain insight into the antioxidant mechanism of peptides.
In medical sciences and toxicology, QSAR modeling has been used widely for such purposes.
Materials and methods A.Dataset prepared The dataset contains 23 samples coming from different published literatures and the antioxidant activities were measured by ORAC method (including ovotransferrin, α- and β- lactoglobulin) [43-45] (Table I).

The calculation formula is: Unit GDP Energy Consumption= Gross Energy Consumption/GDP “Gross Energy Consumption” in the formula means the sum of various energy sources consumed by the national material production sectors, non-material production sectors and livelihood in a period of time.
Therefore, the guideline for energy saving work in the Twelfth Five-Year is: under the scientific development outlook, combine the reduction of energy consumption intensity with the control of energy consumption closely centering the transformation of economic development pattern, thus driving the science and scientific development in turn.

To increase the osteoconductivity of HAP, many researchers have used it with other bioactive materials.
Materials and Methods Scaffold Fabrication HAP powder (Sigma, USA) at a concentration of 37.5% was stirred in distilled water (dH2O) for 5 minutes; then, triethyl phosphate (TEP, (C2H5)3PO4, Sigma-Aldrich) at a weight percent equal to 7% of the HAP powder weight was added to the slurry and stirred overnight.

One of such implant materials is the Zwitterionic hydrogel as used in an experiment on mice [1] (See Fig. 1).
In the work, it was found that such animals retained the ability to surround the implanted material with a layer of phagocytes (neutrophils and macrophages).
After injecting histamine receptors antagonist, pyrilamine (an H1 receptor antagonist) and famotidine (an H2 receptor antagonist) to implanted bio-materials in the mice, it is verified that histamine enhances phagocyte transmigration via both H1 and H2 receptors.
