The initiating and promoting effects of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) were investigated using a rat hepatic enzyme-altered foci bioassay. The experimental protocol used has been shown to induce gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT)-positive foci in hepatic tissue following an initiating dose with a genotoxic carcinogen. Twenty-four hours following 2/3 partial hepatectomy, rats received either a singl...

The ethanol production in Brazil is carried out by fed-batch or continuous process with cell recycle, in such way that bacterial contaminants are also recycled and may be troublesome due to the substrate competition. Addition of sulphuric acid when inoculum cells are washed can control the bacterial growth or alternatively biocides are used. This work aimed to verify the effect of chlorine diox...

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) solutions were evaluated for their virucidal ability against a low pathogenic avian influenza virus (AIV), H7N1. HOCl solutions containing 50, 100 and 200 ppm chlorine (pH 6) or their sprayed solutions (harvested in dishes placed at 1 or 30 cm distance between the spray nozzle and dish) were mixed with the virus with or without organic materials (5% fetal bovine serum: ...

OBJECTIVE The primary objective of the three studies reported in this paper was to evaluate the effects of new dentifrices containing 1.5% arginine, an insoluble calcium compound, and fluoride for their ability to promote remineralization of demineralized enamel, and to prevent mineral loss from sound enamel specimens. A secondary objective was to determine the effects on plaque metabolism with...

A new aliphatic acid named japodic acid (1) with a gem-dimethyl cyclopropane ring has been isolated from the roots of Jatropha podagrica. Its structure was established by 1D and 2D NMR and mass spectrometric data. Two other known compounds, erythrinasinate (2) and fraxidin (3) were also isolated from this plant for the first time. Japodic acid showed mild insect growth inhibition activity again...

to evaluate the efficiency of nanocid as growth promoter in comparison antibiotics and with organic acids on performance and intestinal morphometric characteristics of broiler chickens, 240 male broiler chicks of one dayage (ross 308) were utilized in an experiment of a completely randomized design of 4 treatments and 4 replicates. the experimental treatments included: 1) control (no additives)...

From past to the present, cultural, medicinal, landscape and culinary use of junipers has contrib­uted it being one most widely distributed woody plants in world. Therefore, is so important that finding appropriate production methods obtain quality seedlings line with usage area. In present study, was tried determine best conditions applications on propagation by cuttings three juniper taxa inc...
