AIM The present study is carried out to investigate hypogonadism using serum testosterone levels in male Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) subjects with and without coronary artery disease (CAD). SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 150 age and body mass index-matched male subjects in the age group of 30-70 years were recruited in three groups; Group A - subjects with normal glucose tolerance, Group...

Validating chemical methods to predict bioavailable fractions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by comparison with accumulation bioassays is problematic. Concentrations accumulated in soil organisms not only depend on the bioavailable fraction but also on contaminant properties. A historically contaminated soil was freshly spiked with deuterated PAHs (dPAHs). dPAHs have a similar fate ...

<p>In recent times, India has witnessed a steep surge in prescription of itraconazole the management dermatophytosis.<sup>1</sup> But due to its pharmacokinetics, it shown multiple variations results. To overcome these challenges, newer formulation i.e. super-bioavailable (SBITZ) been launched recently India. Currently, there are 4 different strengths SBITZ which approved by D...

Abstract Several studies assessed the impact of inorganic P in fertilizing oligotrophic areas, however, importance organic such fertilization processes received far less attention. In this study, amount and origin delivered to eastern Mediterranean Sea were characterized atmospheric particles using positive matrix factorization model (PMF). Phospholipids together with other chemical compounds (...

Harvests of crops, their trade and consumption, soil erosion, fertilization and recycling of organic waste generate fluxes of phosphorus in and out of the soil that continuously change the worldwide spatial distribution of total phosphorus in arable soils. Furthermore, due to variability in the properties of the virgin soils and the different histories of agricultural practices, on a planetary ...

Concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen in surface waters are being regulated in the United States and European Union. Human activity has raised the concentrations of these nutrients, leading to eutrophication of inland waters, which causes nuisance growth of algae and other aquatic plants. Control of phosphorus often has had the highest priority because of its presumed leading role in limiti...

The macrotidal estuary of Penzé (Brittany, Western part of the Channel, France) has been subjected to recurrent annual toxic blooms of Alexandrium minutum since 1988. This study aims to specify the phosphorus dynamics and bioavailability in sediments in order to improve our understanding of Alexandrium occurrences. Sediment-P pools and diffusive phosphate fluxes were studied under similar hydro...
