In this study, we investigated the effects of the ethanol extract of aerial parts of Raphanus sativus L. (ERL) on breast cancer cell proliferation and gene expression associated with cell proliferation and apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. The MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in the presence or absence of various concentrations (100, 200, or 300 µg/mL) of ERL. ERL significantly d...

A simple experimental set-up was used to study the treatability aspect of phenolic wastewater. Three types of systems: i) activated sludge (A.S), ii) granular activated carbon (A.C) and iii) activated sludge plus activated carbon (A.S + A.C) were experimented under different phenol loadings (100, 200 and 300 mg/l) and different flow rates (21.6 and 43.2 l/d) with initial COD concentration 500 m...

Iran is one of the main date (Phoenix dactylifera) producing countries in the world. however, little information is available on the pollen viability and favorable storage conditions of Iranian male date cultivars. This study was conducted to estimate the best in vitro pollen germination of three male date palm cultivars, `Ghanami’, `Samsmavi’ and `Gheibani’ using various doses of boric acid (0...

a study was carried out to evaluate the effects of r. coriaria l. and p. farcta extracts as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in broilers diet. a total of 300 one-day-old male ross 308 chicks were randomly allocated to four dietary treatments (five pen replicates, 15 birds per pen) for the 0- to 28-d period, and all data were analyzed in a randomized complete design. dietary treatment...

 Pengendalian gulma pada tanaman budidaya secara kimiawi umumnya menggunakan satu bahan aktif herbisida namun dapat ditingkatkan lagi kefektifannya dalam mengendalikan melalui pencampuran herbisida. Pencampuran lebih dari 1 bersifat aditif, sinergis, dan antagonis dengan lainya. Oleh karena itu, perlu pengkajian mengenai kombinasi yang akan digunakan. Penelitian bertujuan un...

In this study, the YBa2Cu3O6+x samples at temperatures 200 and 300°C, as the value of x ( the oxygen content in 0the basal plane)  increased under nearly thermodynamical equilibrium condition, the structure changed from the well- known tetragonal (T) to a mixed-phase (T+OII) region (orthorhombicII phase is a superstructure). This mixed-phase region suggests a first order T/OII phase transition ...

5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a direct 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) precursor used to assess central serotonergic function. Its use has been limited by a narrow window between neuroendocrine changes and side effects, and variable kinetics related to inconsistent administration modes. By combining 5-HTP with carbidopa (CBD), increased bioavailability for brain penetration and decreased peripheral...
