in this investigation the effect of trichoderma isolates in inhibition of aspergillus flavus growth and reducing of aflatoxin b1 (afb1) was studied in culture media and pistachio nuts. among trichoderma isolates, t1, t3, t4 and t17 isolates showed significant impact on inhibiting of a. flavus r5growth. t3 and t4 isolates were the most effective isolates, which caused 84.40% and 77.88% reduction...

The function of the thyroid gland is to synthesize the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid cells are the only cells in the body that can absorb the element iodine, which can be found in many foods. These cells combine iodine and the amino acid, tyrosine, to produce T3 and T4. The T3 and T4 hormones are then released into the bloodstream and are transported through...

Purpose Patients with breast cancer (BC) in Area 2 KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, often present with advanced disease. We performed a review of the patients' sociodemographic characteristics and their reasons for late presentation to identify what changes could be made to improve time to presentation. Patients and Methods Fifty women with T1, T2, T3, or T4 BC were assessed for sociodemographic ...

Objectives – To find the effect Of TSH suppression therapy on levels of TSH, T4 and T3 in hypothyroidism. Methods The study comprised of 40 subjects, classified into 2 groups each, with 20 subjects. Group I – 20 (Healthy individuals) controls aged between 20 – 45 years with euthyroid status. Group II20 Hypothyroid subjects with suppressed levels of TSH aged between 20 to 45 years. The parameter...

OBJECTIVE To assess the dentoskeletal changes observed in treatment of Class II, division 1 malocclusion patients with mandibular retrognathism. Treatment was performed with the Herbst orthopedic appliance during 13 months (phase I) and pre-adjusted orthodontic fixed appliance (phase II). METHODS Lateral cephalograms of 17 adolescents were taken in phase I onset (T1) and completion (T2); in t...

Serum thyrotropin (TSH), free thyroxine (T4), and free triiodothyronine (T3) levels illustrate the thyroid function set point, but the interrelations between these have never been characterized in detail. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between TSH and thyroid hormone levels in healthy euthyroid twins and to determine the extent to which the same genes influence more than ...

Thyroid Hormones (TH) act on multiple metabolic process influencing the concentration and activity of numerous enzymes, the metabolism of substrates, vitamins and minerals, and the response of target tissues to several hormones. These TH have critical roles in cell differentiation, growth, and regulation of oxygen consumption and thermogenesis [1]. Thyroid disease occurs when the gland is enlar...

In order to investigate the relation of weight loss and intravenous hyperalimentation therapy to low T3 syndrome, serum T3, T4. rT3 and TBG were determined by radioimmunoassay in 105 cancer patients. The cancer patients were classified into 3 groups, Group I, II and III depending on the grade of weight loss, ranging up to a 5% change in weight loss from a healthy condition, from 5 to 9%, and mo...

BACKGROUND Since the introduction of the first radioimmunoassay, several improvements have been made in the design of immunoassays such as method of antibody production, labeling, automation and detection technology. We performed an analytical evaluation of the new electrochemiluminescent immunoassay (ECLIA) for serum TSH, FT4 and T3 in the Elecsys 2010 immunoassay system and compared the resul...
