چکیده
beings are poor growth, night blindness, xerophthalmia, keratomalacia, phrynoderma, decreased resistance to all infective diseases in general and to respiratory disease in particular. The main sources of the vitamin for human beings in their normal dietary are milk, butter, ghee, eggs, liver-meat, fish and green leafy vegetables. Vegetables do not contain vitamin A as such, but in the form of carotene which is converted into vitamin A in the animal body and is therefore known as the precursor of vitamin A,

متن کاملPreparation, Physiochemical and Kinetic Investigations of V2O5/SiO2 Catalyst for the Sulfuric Acid Production
V2O5/SiO2 catalyst was utilized to oxidize SO2 to SO3 species in the presence of oxygen mainly for producing sulfuric acid. For this catalyst, the active phase was a mixture of vanadium pentoxide and basic sulfate/pyrosulfate material. This active phase at the reaction temperature behaved as a liquid filling up the pores of the silica support. On the other hand, amounts of the SO3 and V5+ speci...
متن کاملThe use of conjugase preparations in the microbiological assay of folic acid.
Taka-diastase (1) and a preparation of hog kidney enzyme (2) have been used routinely to liberate folic acid from its conjugates in the microbiological determination of the vitamin (3-6). However, Olson et al. (7) reported recently that taka-diastase and certain proteolytic enzymes are of doubtful value in releasing the vitamin from plant tissues. Hog kidney conjugase also does not completely l...
متن کاملEffect of vitamin D3 on leukocyte infiltration into the brain of C57/BL6 mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
Background: Leukocyte infiltration into the central nervous system (CNS) in diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) have been implicated in subsequent disease pathogenesis and progression. It suggested that vitamin D3 (active form of vitamin D) ameliorates the symptoms of EAE when administered after the onset of clinical sings. The aim of this s...
متن کاملDissolving Pulp (alpha-cellulose) from Corn Stalk by Kraft Process
Corn stalk can be used as an alternative non-wood raw material to produce cellulosic dissolving grade pulp. In this work, the potential of corn stalk in the production of dissolving pulp (alpha-cellulose) was investigated. It was collect ed from a corn stalk farm of Kermanshah, Iran. The sequences of experimental work were: water and acid prehydrolysis at 160˚C for 30min, followed by Kraft pulp...
