The Izu-Bonin arc (IBA) has been colliding with the Honshu arc since the middle Miocene, which together form the active Izu arc-arc collision zone (ICZ) in central Japan. To understand the entire collisional system, we have used refraction/wide-angle reflection data to model velocity structures of the Honshu arc, northwest of the ICZ. The seismic data indicate that the upper 4-km crust of the H...

The brain of a hibernating mammal withstands physiological extremes that would result in cerebral damage and death in a non-hibernating species such as humans. To examine the possibility that this neuroprotection results from alterations in cerebral metabolism, we used in vivo H NMR spectroscopy at high field (9.4 T) to measure the concentration of 18 metabolites (neurochemical profile) in the ...

Adathoda vasica is a medicinal plant beneficial for the treatment of asthma, cough, haemorragic disorders, hepatitis and fevers. The leaves of the plant contain a mixture of alkaloid i.e., vasicine and vasicinone. Vasicine has numerous pharmacological activities viz., anti-malarial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-bacterial etc. The study on influence of IBA and NAA on rootin...

The effects of ABA, isobutyric acid (IBA) and nicotine on K+ and Cl- efflux were studied in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings, and the role of pHcyt and Em in the regulation of the efflux of these ions was discussed. The data show that treatments with IBA and nicotine influenced in opposite directions the efflux of either K+ or Cl-: K+ efflux was increased by nicotine and reduced in the presence o...

Inward rectification, an important determinant of cell excitability, can result from channel blockade by intracellular cations, including Ca2+. However, mostly on the basis of indirect arguments, Ca2+-mediated rectification of inward rectifier K+ current (IK1) is claimed to play no role in the mammalian heart. The present study investigates Ca2+-mediated IK1 rectification during the mammalian v...

In this study, the effects of IBA and cinnamic acid applications on rooting black mulberry cuttings taken from trees grown in Tokat were treated. 6000 ppm Indole Butyric Acid (IBA), IBA+100 (CA), 100 with control which no application was applied July, September, November January periods. The kept during 60 days beds containing perlite heated bottom. highest ratio (48.3%) average root number (3....

The brain of a hibernating mammal withstands physiological extremes that would result in cerebral damage and death in a non-hibernating species such as humans. To examine the possibility that this neuroprotection results from alterations in cerebral metabolism, we used in vivo(1)H NMR spectroscopy at high field (9.4 T) to measure the concentration of 18 metabolites (neurochemical profile) in th...

Antibacterial activity of Costus igneus was conducted. The plant C. igneus was well known for its anti-diabetic property. Traditionally the plant was used to treat fever, rash, asthma and intestinal worms. Two growth regulator IAA (Indole 3-acetic acid) and IBA (Indole butyric acid) in combinations were applied to MS medium for direct root induction. MS medium supplemented with 0.5mg/ml IBA, in...

Leaf, seed, and tuber explants of C. latifolia were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of BAP and IBA, alone or in combinations, to achieve in vitro plant regeneration. Subsequently, antioxidant and antibacterial activities were determined from in vitro and in vivo plant developed. No response was observed from seed culture on MS media with various concentrations o...

The damaging effects of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) on the gut and remote organs can be attenuated by subjecting the intestine to a prior, less severe I/R insult, a process known as preconditioning. Because intestines of hibernating ground squirrels experience repeated cycles of hypoperfusion and reperfusion, we examined whether hibernation serves as a model for natural preconditionin...
