The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary lemon polyphenols on high-fat diet-induced obesity in mice, and on the regulation of the expression of the genes involved in lipid metabolism to elucidate the mechanisms. Mice were divided into three groups and fed either a low fat diet (LF) or a high fat diet (HF) or a high fat diet supplemented with 0.5% w/w lemon polyphenols (LP)...

OBJECTIVE Citrate, potassium, and calcium levels in Viburnum opulus (V. opulus) and lemon juice were compared to evaluate the usability of V. opulus in mild to moderate level hypocitraturic stone disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS V. opulus and lemon fruits were squeezed in a blender and 10 samples of each of 100 ml were prepared. Citrate, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and pH levels in t...

A manual-search experiment with rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) explored dynamic object individuation in the tunnel effect: Subjects watched as a lemon rolled down a ramp and came to rest behind a tunnel (Occluder 1) and then as a kiwifruit emerged and became occluded at the end of its path behind a screen (Occluder 2). When the kiwifruit emerged at about the time that the lemon should have (ha...

The current enormous amount of data on the Semantic Web and its increasing uptake raises the question of how this data can be accessed in several languages. OWL provides limited support for multilingualism through the use of an annotation property. However, it is known that more expressive models are required for linguistically demanding applications. Among the possible solutions, Lexicon Model...

Background: Lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora) has been known to have various pharmacologic activities. Objectives: Lemon verbena leaves are used to make an herbal tea, which is traditionally used for treating spasms, common cold, severe abdominal pain, indigestion, insomnia, anxiety, and headache. Although it has been known to have various pharmacologic activities, no scientific study has been ...

OBJECTIVES We examined the factors considered to change body composition and blood biochemistry indicators in menopausal middle-aged and elderly women. These changes result from exercise by walking as part of their daily activities and lemon consumption by women who live on the small islands of the Seto Inland Sea, Japan's largest citrus fruit (lemon)-producing region. METHODS Between Septemb...

High speed and low power dissipation devices are expected from future generation technology of Nano-electronic devices. Tunnel field effect transistor (TFET) is unique to the prominent in applications. To minimize leakage currents, tunnel switching TFETs superior conventional MOS FETs. The gate coverage area different fin shape hybrid field-effect transistors more impacted on electric character...

Body patterning behavior in unshelled cephalopod molluscs such as squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish is the ability of these animals to create complex patterns on their skin. This behavior is generated primarily by chromatophores, pigment-containing organs that are directly innervated by central motoneurons. The present study focuses on innervation patterns and location of chromatophore motoneuro...

When imported slaves were first sold in New Orleans, buyers were unaware of the slaves’ unobservable characteristics. In time, the new owners learned more about their slaves and may have resold the “lemons.” Previous research suggests that buyers anticipated such adverse selection and reduced their bids for these slaves. Consequently, we should observe lower prices for resold slaves. We test th...

the aim of present study is investigating effect of treated lemon pulp by saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast on protein and energy metabolism in goats was fed with this product. in this experiment 8 goats from raini breed were used for 21 days period; 16 days for adaptation and 5 days for sampling, to investigate the effect of processing lemon pulp by saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast on protein recei...
