The hydrogen acceptor 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) is commonly utilized to estimate cellular viability in drug screening protocols. The present investigation was prompted, in part, by observations that reduction of MTT to its colored reaction product, MTT formazan, varied between cell lines and with culture age. A correlation was established between the D-g...

background: although the incidence of gastric cancer is declining during the last half century, this cancer still is the second morbid cancer in the world after lung cancer. the incidence of gastric cancer is 26 per 100,000 in iran. this study evaluated the effect of alpinia galangal on ags cells (human gastric adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line) and l929 cells (as a standard cell line origina...

تأثیر پرتوگیری مزمن بر ساکنین مناطق با پرتوزایی طبیعی بالا در شهر رامسر، استفاده از روش سیتوژنتیک سنجش هستک­های متوقف شده مرحله سیتوکینز و مقایسه­ی نتایج میان دو گروه مورد مطالعه کنترل، بررسی قرار گرفت. نشان داد اختلاف معنی­داری (001/0< P) میانگین فرکانس شمارش لنفوسیت­های خون محیطی (ساکن منطقه­ی بالای رامسر) کنترل تنکابن) وجود دارد. هم­چنین، بعد پرتودهی نمونه­ها، افزایش بیش­تری را هستک­ها نسبت ...

A new method is described for measuring the mean transit time (MTT) of digesta through the human gut in which a constant amount of marker (radio-opaque pellets) is fed to subjects with each meal over a period of weeks, and its excretion measured in the stools. The MTT measured by this method (MTT-C) has been compared with MTT measured by giving single doses of similar markers to the same subjec...
