the characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (fe-tf). addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...

to introduce ecologically safe acaricide, effects of essential oils derived from cuminum cyminum (cumin), syzygium aromaticum (clove), and mentha spicata (spearmint) were determined on tetranychus urticae at 25±1◦c, 65±5% rh and a photoperiod of 16:8 (l:d) hour. the essential oils extracted by hydro-distillation were characterized by means of gc and gc–ms. bioassays were performed by filter pap...

background one of the most pressing threats for children’s health status is overweight and obesity. previous literature indicates that increasing relative body mass index (rbmi) is accompanied by physical inactivity. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of daily physical activity and obesity among students grade 5th and 6th. patients and methods this was a cross-sect...

background: tannase can be obtained from the various sources for example tannin rich plants; however microbial sources are preferred for industrial production. in microbial sources, the aspergillus and penicillium genus and lactic acid bacteria mostly produce tannase. however, it has been identified that this enzyme is produced by many fungi and bacteria, but researches are continuing to find n...

medicinal plants are a source of great economic value all over the world. nature has bestowed on us a very rich botanical wealth and large number of diverse types of plants grows in different parts of the country. in this study the in vitro antimicrobial activity of crude ethanolic, methanolic and water extracts of the stem bark of o.basilicum were investigated. the extracts exhibited antimicro...

objective: the present study was undertaken to evaluate anti-depressant activity of myristica fragrans(ms). materials and methods: male wistar rats were subjected to imipramine and herbal extract ofms for their antidepressant activity using forced swimming test (fst), reserpine reversal test (rrt), haloperidol-induced catalepsy (hic), and pentobarbitone sleeping time (pst). results: administrat...

cancer is a major cause of death worldwide and causes serious problems in human life. it is developed by uncontrolled growth of a cell or a group of cells. there are many difficulties in treatment of cancer and many researchers are involved in investigating for effective drugs to treat the disease. caryophyllaceae is a large family of about 86 genera and 2200 herbaceous or subshrub species. the...

nano dithiocarbamate (dtc) complex have been prepared by reaction between dithiocarbamate and metal salt under ultrasound irradiation. reaction conditions such as the ligand dtc and phennantroline concentration, aging time and the ultrasonic device power show important roles in the size, morphology and growth process of the final products. the dithiocarbamate complex nanoparticles have been pre...
