چکیده

research and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of co-operatively organized, institutional research programs as opposed to individual research programs. "Frontiers in Psychiatry" is concerned with the place of psychiatry in education and sociology, as well as international relations. This superior presentation demonstrates the present-day limitations of psychiatry but also points out how psychiatry, properly utilized, may, in the future, help us to plan our political organizations and the educational programs of our children to facilitate the achievement of our socio-political aspirations. Dr. Alexander also discusses some of the fallacies in the Marxian concepts of man's psychology. "Frontiers in Genetics" by Dr. Laurence Snyder is one of the finest papers of its type that this reviewer has read. Dr. Snyder presents a thorough, competent, and broad review of the relationship of genetics to the other sciences. He propounds an impartial, honest, and intelligent view of the present Michurin vs. Mendelian genetics controversy. Superlatives should be used sparingly, but certainly Dr. Snyder has approached the ideal in this paper. It is recommended for the college biology student, the interested layman, medical students and practitioners, and the graduate student of biology. There is a foreword by Dr. H. B. Keyes and an introduction by Dr. Iago Galdston. The book is adequately indexed and there are bibliographies at the end of each paper. This little volume is unquestionably worth the nominal cost of $2.50. J. M. Q.

Biochemical changes in carbohydrate metabolism of the fish – Cyprinus carpio during sub-lethal exposure to biopesticide – Derisom.

The effect of biopesticide - Derisom on certain metabolites and enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism were evaluated in gill, liver, kidney and muscle of Cyprinus carpio during sub-lethal toxicity exposure of 21 days. A dose of 0.28 ppm was taken as the sub-lethal dose. The organs were taken from exposed and control fish at the end of 24 hrs, 7, 14 and 21 days and used for the estimation of total ...

Interactive effects of silicon and NaCl on some physiological and biochemical parameters in Borago officinalis L. Shekoofeh Enteshari1*, Razieh Alishavandi2 and Kourosh Delavar 3

In this research we investigated the role of Si in improving salt tolerance in  the medicinal plant Borago officinalis L. Borago was pretreated with 0, 0.5  and 1.5 mM Si (as sodium silicate, Na2(Si O2)3) and then treated with four levels of NaCl, namely, 0, 60, 90 and 120 mM NaCl. Then the effects of silicon and NaCl were observed on some physiological and biochemical parameters such as lipid ...

Physiological and biochemical responses of Quercus brantii seedlings to water deficit stress

Water shortage is one of the most important environmental stresses in Mediterranean regions. Poor seedling quality may account for the failure of oak regeneration. To determine the best seed origin of Quercus brantii, we investigated on seedlings collected from 20 mother trees in the Zagros Mountain forests 700 to 2200 m altitudes above sea level. Seedlings from different altitudes were irrig...

CHANGES IN BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM FOLLOWING FENFLURAMINE ADMINIS TRATION IN RATS

Fenfluramine, an anorexigenic agent, is widely used in the treatment of obesity. Besides its anorectic effect, it may also have some effects on general metabolism with the consequence of weight loss. In this study, the effect of fenfluramine on the concentrations of some parameters related to carbohydrate metabolism was investigated. It was shown that the serum insulin level was reduced by ...

Relationship between hepatic morphology and clinical and biochemical findings in morbidly obese patients.

This study was undertaken to determine the interrelations between clinico-biochemical parameters and hepatic morphology in markedly obese patients. One hundred and sixty-six women and 52 men comprise this series. There was a statistically significant association of carbohydrate metabolism disturbance with increasing age and corpulence and, in women, with hyperuricaemia and morphological alterat...

Effects of Silver Nanoparticle Exposure on Growth, Physiological and biochemical Parameters of Dracocephalum moldavica L. Zahra Haghighi Pak1, Naser Karimi*2, Hossein Abbaspour1

The increasing commercial production and the broad usage of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) have led to concerns over the potential adverse impacts of these ENPs on biota in natural environments. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most important and widely used ENPs which enter natural ecosystems. In this study we examined the effects of AgNPs on growth and some physiological parameter...
