Mitochondrial dysfunction is common in the brain with age. Prevention of mitochondrial at an early age may protect against neurodegeneration later life. Tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) has been reported to be neuroprotective old rats, but its effect remains unknown for middle-aged animals. This study aimed determine TRF on activities respiratory chain complexes hippocampus rats. Male Sprague Da...

Grasslands are the most threatened and least protected biome. Yet, no study has been conducted to identify last remaining continuous grasslands on Earth. Here, we used World Wildlife Fund (WWF) International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifications measure degree intactness world's grassland ecoregions. This analysis revealed three findings critical conservation importance. First...

Extreme waves, called rogue waves or freak usually occur unexpectedly and with very large wave heights. In recent years, extreme were reported not only in deep ocean waters but also shallow waters, which threaten the safety intactness of coastal regions. To prevent infrastructures communities from devastating power surges many defense structures built along coastline, i.e., submerged permeable ...

Impaired social functioning is a hallmark of schizophrenia and altered functional integration between distant brain regions are expected to account for signs symptoms the disorder. The neuroarchitecture network relevant functioning, mentalizing network, however poorly understood. In this study we examined dysfunctions in patients with compared healthy controls via dynamic causal modelling an in...

Identification of spatial gradients in ecosystem vulnerability to global climate change and local stressors is an important step in the formulation and implementation of appropriate countermeasures1,2. Here we build on recent work to map ecoregional exposure to future climate, using an envelopebased gauge of future climate stability—defined as a measure of how similar the future climate of a re...

The words “pain” and “suffering” are so often used together in clinical practice they sometimes seem to merge into a single concept, with clinicians simply referring to “pain-and-suffering.” Writing in the early 1980s, Eric Cassell bemoaned the fact that the medical literature contained very few studies that specifi cally addressed suffering, although there were hundreds of reports that focused...

Interest in economically and ecologically sustainable cocoa has grown recent years. Cocoa-based agroforestry systems are promoted as a potential win-win option for long-term yields, multiple benefits, the preservation of biodiversity. Yet, even though studies have shown such agroforests can support biodiversity, their value relative to natural areas open-land is not fully known. We estimated bi...

Present study was designed to assess the effect of glutathione (GSH) on post thaw semen quality parameters (SQPs), sperm kinetic profiles, antioxidant and oxidative stress profiles cholesterol efflux in mithun. Ejaculates (25) were selected based biophysical for present experiment. Each sample split into four equal aliquots after dilution with Tris-citrate-glycerol (TCG) extender, viz. Group I ...
