of this problem, "animal models in psychiatry" is included in the section on "Biology of Depression," a review of animal models is absent from the section on "Biology of Schizophrenia," and two of the four chapters in the "Biology of Anxiety" section review animal models. Also, the quality of the chapters varies noticeably in this book. In contrast to many chapters written with depth and clarit...

Recovery of Essential Plant Nutrients from

Essential plant nutrients contained in residues and wastes generated during biofuel processing can be recovered for further production of bioenergy biomass. The objective of this study was to determine the relative agronomic efficiency of “processed” biofuel residual (PBR). Liquid biofuel residual was “processed” by precipitating phosphate and ammonium in the residual with magnesium into a stru...

Iron and zinc interaction on leaf nutrients and the essential oil of Pimpinella anisum L.

Foliar spraying of a small amount of micronutrients (iron and zinc) may increase the yield of anise(Pimpinella anisum L.), an anethole-rich important medicinal plant. In order to evaluate the effect of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) spraying (0, 2, 4, and 6 g l-1) on the nutrient contents and the essential oils of anise, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design ...

Gut microbiota functions: metabolism of nutrients and other food components

The diverse microbial community that inhabits the human gut has an extensive metabolic repertoire that is distinct from, but complements the activity of mammalian enzymes in the liver and gut mucosa and includes functions essential for host digestion. As such, the gut microbiota is a key factor in shaping the biochemical profile of the diet and, therefore, its impact on host health and disease....
