Cod-liver oil is the fixed oil expressed from the fresh liver of the codfish (Gadus morrhua, Linn.) by the application of low pressure steam at a temperature not exceeding 85?C., and freed from solid fat by filtration at about 0?C. It occurs as a pale yellow liquid with a slightly fishy but not rancid odour, and a bland, slightlyfishy taste. Amongst fatty oils, cod-liver oil occupies a peculiar...

The proximate composition, amino acid and fatty acid composition in the muscle of wild, inshore and offshore cage-cultured large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) were determined to identify nutritional differences. Wild fish groups showed highest content of moisture and crude protein, but lowest lipid content. Offshore cage-cultured fish showed significantly higher content of moisture and ...

Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) is one of the major legume crops containing high carbohydrate and protein contents. In this study, total phenolic flavonoid contents ABTS/DPPH radical scavenging activity whole sprouts seed coats were evaluated by using 10 mungbean genotypes with diverse coat colors origins. Qualitative/quantitative analysis individual secondary metabolites was performed ultrahigh pe...

Hysteroscopy is a method through which endometrial cavity can be observed and manipulated transcervically. The association of sub serous fibroids and intramural fibroids with infertility is controversial. But the role of sub mucous fibroids which are reported in 5%-18% of patients as a causal factor for infertility is likely. Sub mucous fibroids are postulated to cause menometrorrhagia, sub fer...

Female and male reproductive tracts are of interest sites to study of immune system because they encounter specific infections such as those are sexually transmitted. Furthermore, female reproductive tract is in close contact with allogenic sperms and transmitted microorganisms during intercourse and semi allogenic fetus during pregnancy. In mammals, there are two types of immune responses, the...

Background: This paper considers whether the development of oocyte freezing raises any new or distinctive ethical issues. It will examine the ethical issues raised by this technique: the ’social’ use of egg freezing and how that might be defined; the use of egg freezing for cancer patients; and limitations and benefits of the technique. Materials and Methods: A consideration of the literature a...

The extensive administration of whole blood, plasma, and serum in the past few years has made the problem of homologous serum hepatitis an important one. The 23,000 cases of hepatitis in Armed Forces personnel (1) resulting from the injection of certain lots of yellow fever vaccine which had been stabilized with human serum gave great impetus to study of the disease in this country. Most epidem...

Bleaching process is an essential stage in the refining of vegetable oils and fats. In this process the colour and the primary and secondary oxidation products are removed by the treatment with the acid activated bleaching earth .The aim of this project is to understand the effect of bleaching on the physical characteristics and chemical constituents of neutralized canola and sunflower seed oil...

Crude linoleic acid incorporated with or without butter yellow in a synthetic diet proved to be toxic for rats. The toxic effect manifested itself in loss of weight, progressive anemia of the secondary type, leucopenia, and pediculosis. It could be neutralized preventively and therapeutically by administration of yeast. The toxicity of the diet containing linoleic acid appears to be due to oxid...
