Objective: To compare the mean body weights and mean absolute and relative liver weights (in Grams) of albino rats after tamoxifen and taurine treatment. Material and Methods: This prospective experimental study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Khyber Medical College, Peshawar from July 2011 to December 2011. Sixty adult female albino rats were divided into four groups (A-control, B-...

Tetracenomycins B3 and D3, besides tetracenomycin D (D1), were produced by a blocked mutant of the elloramycin producer Streptomyces olivaceus TU 2353. The compounds were isolated as red powders, and their structures were elucidated by comparing their physicochemical data with those of the known tetracenomycins A2, B1, B2, D and E. Tetracenomycin B3 (2), the main compound, and tetracenomycin D ...

Formation of histamine, tryptamine, phenylethylamine and tyramine (vasoactive amines) in dry fermented sausage Petrovská klobása during drying and ripening in traditional room (B1) and industrial ripening chamber (B3) were investigated. Dansyl chloride derivatized vasoactive amines were determined using HPLC-DAD on Eclipse XDB-C18 column. Histamine, the most important amine from food safety poi...

The mossy fiber to CA3 pyramidal neuron synapse in the hippocampus displays an atypical form of NMDA receptor-independent long-term potentiation (LTP). Plasticity at this synapse is expressed in the presynaptic terminal as an elevated probability of neurotransmitter release. However, evidence indicates that postsynaptic mechanisms and trans-synaptic signaling through an association between post...

Coxsackievirus B type 3 (CVB3) is one of the major causative pathogens associated with viral meningitis and myocarditis, which are widespread in the human population and especially prevalent in neonates and children. These infections can result in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and other severe clinical complications. There are no vaccines or drugs approved for the prevention or therapy of CVB3-i...

The medial portion of intrinsic buccal muscle 3 (I3m) is innervated by two excitatory motor neurons, B3 and B9. B3 uses glutamate as its fast transmitter and expresses the neuropeptide FMRFamide, whereas B9 uses acetylcholine as its fast transmitter and expresses the neuropeptide SCP. This preparation was used to study peptidergic modulation of muscles innervated by neurons that use different f...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE In recent years, coxsackievirus B3 (CV-B3) has been determined as a dominant enterovirus serotype that may cause severe complications in patients. Since 2008 in Taiwan, some enterovirus isolates have been regarded as untypeable [by employing commercial immunofluorescence assay (IFA) kits]. In 2012, the number of isolates increased. Genetic sequence analysis further confirmed ...
