Anhydroretinol: a naturally occurring inhibitor of lymphocyte physiology

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CORROSION INHIBITION EFFICIENCY OF NATURALLY OCCURRING ECOFRIENDLY VARIETIES OF HOLY BASIL (TULSI) FOR TIN IN HNO3 SOLUTION

Weight loss technique has been used to study the corrosion inhibition efficiency of tin in HNO3 solution by using the leaves and stem extract of different varieties of Holy Basil viz. ocimum basilicum (EB), ocimum cannum (EC) and ocimum sanctum (ES). The results show that all the varieties under study are good corrosion inhibitors, among which leaves extract of EB is the most effective. Corrosi...

Coinfection Associated with Naturally Occurring Cryptosporidiosis in Broilers

Elucidation of the different effects of polyamines and other naturally-occurring inhibitors of cell proliferation (chalones) on T-lymphocyte and granulocyte colony growth in vitro.

Using T-lymphocyte and granulocyte colony assays with truly proliferating cells the effects of the polyamine spermine and of other naturally-occurring inhibitors of cell proliferation have been differentiated. It has been confirmed that spermine, in the presence of fetal calf serum, is a potent inhibitor of cell proliferation. This inhibition could be reversed by the addition of either 3-hydrox...

Radiological dose assessment of naturally occurring radioactive materials generated by the petroleum industry in wildlife: A case study of chinkaras of Lavan Island, Iran

Human activities such as oil and gas production can enhance the natural level of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) in by-product and waste streams. Iran has been among the top five oil producing countries since 2005. This high production rate emphasizes the importance of NORM management to ensure the safety of humans and wildlife. Petroleum storage and transport facilities are lo...

Naturally occurring ehrlichiosis in Egyptian dogs

Canine ehrlichiosis has emerged as one of the most clinically important tick-borne diseases affecting dogs. Eighty-five naturally infected dogs have been investigated, the most consistent clinical signs recorded were fever, emaciation and lymphoadenopathy, anemia, monocytosis, thrompocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, elevation in liver enzymes and total bilirubin were the most remarkable changes asso...
