Prunus armeniaca L. (Apricot) is a tree cultivated in different parts of the world. Apricot kernel as a good dietary supplement has shown antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other pharmacologic properties which suggest that it may be functional as an anticolitis agent. In this study we evaluated the effects of apricot kernel extract and oil on ulcerative colitis in rats. Rats were fasted for 36 ...

We exposed division-synchronized Tetrahymena pyriformis to pulse treatments with the structural amino acid analogue p-fluorophenylalanine. We related the timing of the treatments to the delays in onset or completion of division, or both. The results enable us to distinguish between early and late phases in cell division in which the cells bring into action proteins which contribute to initiate ...

When kidney cells are cultured directly from the rabbit, the nuclear membranes undergo a change that can be measured as an increase in electrophoretic mobility. The change appears to begin immediately upon culture and is maximal 2 hours later, after which the mobility remains constant at the elevated level. Actinomycin D and p-fluorophenylalanine, but not EDTA or ionizing radiation, suppress th...

Tanami, Yoh (University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston) and Morris Pollard. Effect of p-fluorophenylalanine on psittacosis virus in tissue cultures. J. Bacteriol. 83:437-442. 1962.-The inhibitory effect of p-fluorophenylalanine (FPA) on maturation of psittacosis virus was investigated, with attention to the time sequence of viral protein synthesis. Extracellular virus particles were not ina...

Research on natural compounds is increasingly focused on their effects on human health. In this study, we were interested in the evaluation of nutritional value expressed as content of total phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of new apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) genotypes resistant against Plum pox virus (PPV) cultivated on Department of Fruit Growing of Mendel University in Brno. Frui...

A classification of weakly compact multiplication operators on L(Lp), 1 < p < ∞, is given. This answers a question raised by Saksman and Tylli in 1992. The classification involves the concept of `p-strictly singular operators, and we also investigate the structure of general `p-strictly singular operators on Lp . The main result is that if an operator T on Lp , 1 < p < 2, is `p-strictly singula...
