The Na⁺-H⁺-exchanger-1 (NHE-1) controls intracellular pH and glycolytic enzyme activities, and its expression and activity are increased by diabetes and high glucose. NHE-1-dependent upregulation of the upper part of glycolysis, under conditions of inhibition (lens) or insufficient activation (retina) of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, underlies diversion of the excessive glycolytic f...

The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organotins were analyzed in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis from polluted and unpolluted sites from Mokpo Bay, Korea. The total PAH's concentrations (10(-3)mgkg(-1)) measured by GC-MS were in the range from 31+/-23 to 1+/-1. Among the eight PAHs the predominant ones were fluoranthene, phenanthrene and pyrene and...

Atorvastatin has been reported to ameliorate ischemic brain damage after stroke, but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. This study investigated the effect of atorvastatin on dynamic expressions of MMP9 and TIMP1 in rats after cerebral ischemia reperfusion (I/R). Atorvastatin (5 mgkg(-1)d(-1)) or vehicle was administered orally to rats for 21d before middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo)...

Abstract Nowadays, due to pollution in world excessive consumption of mineral fertilizers, the limiting or minimizing their use has become a major strategy for environmentalists. The research work objective was reduce quantities especially NPK by gradually replacing nitrogen fertilizers with fulvic acid and biochar. Four different combinations were used as soil application (NPK 1 : 120, 160 143...

Antipsychotic drugs are widely used to alleviate a number of psychic disorders and have been found to modulate some immune parameters, but the molecular mechanism of their action on the proliferative activity has been poorly recognized. In the present study, we investigated effects of various antipsychotics on the proliferative activity of lymphocytes stimulated by concanavalin A (Con A) and li...

Presence of heavy metals and antibiotics in the poultry feed even low concentrations is considered as potentially toxic may cause hazardous effects on animal leading to accumulate food chain. This study was performed assess status residue different samples collected from local markets Mymensingh Kishoreganj sadar upazila Bangladesh. A total 40 were analyzed detect concentration three metals- ch...

An 18-months-old Thoroughbred filly weighing 400 kg presented at the Rural Veterinary Centre 12 h after running through a fence. Two hours before presentation the filly showed signs of depression and reluctance to move. Physical examination revealed an increased heart rate (80 beats/min) and respiratory rate (40 breaths /min) and reduced gastrointestinal motility on auscultation of the abdomen....
