A Human Open Field Test Reveals Thigmotaxis Related to Agoraphobic Fear
BACKGROUND Thigmotaxis refers to a specific behavior of animals (i.e., to stay close to walls when exploring an open space). Such behavior can be assessed with the open field test (OFT), which is a well-established indicator of animal fear. The detection of similar open field behavior in humans may verify the translational validity of this paradigm. Enhanced thigmotaxis related to anxiety may s...
متن کاملSeparations of open-circular DNA using pulsed-field electrophoresis.
The effect of high electric fields on the gel-electrophoretic mobility of open-circular DNA in agarose differs dramatically from that on linear molecules of the same molecular weight. At high fields, sufficiently large circular forms are prevented from migrating into the gel whereas linear molecules and smaller circular DNAs migrate normally. This effect is strongly field dependent, affecting c...
متن کاملPlant Secondary Chemicals As Non-Lethal Vertebrate Repellents
Few effective repellents are currently available for the non-lethal management of vertebrate pests. This is perhaps not surprising considering the ad hoc nature of past applications which assumed that the target pest species would have the same attraction/aversion preferences as man. A more rational approach is to identify compounds that have real biological significance for the pest species. P...
متن کاملRisk of plant extracts in rat reproduction
Traditional medicines derived from plants play an important role in health care systems all over the world. However, several studies have demonstrated possible fertility disturbs mainly in male and female rats. In this mini review, risks for rat reproduction are briefly described.

متن کاملGreen Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Using Three Medicinal Plant Extracts as Efficient Reducing Agents
The aim of this work is a green synthesis of gold nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of Anthriscus sylvestris, Ferula gummosa, and Achillea eriohora leaf and stems as the reducing agents. The effects of reducing agent concentration in the reaction mixture and temperature on the size of the gold nanotriangles were studied. The nanoparticles were characterized using UV–Vis spectrosco...
