The effects of dl-cathinone on milk intake and motor activity were investigated in bottle- and cannula-fed rats. Acute injections of cathinone produced dose-dependent increases in activity in both groups but only produced decreased intake in bottle-fed rats. With chronic injections, tolerance to the suppression of intake developed in the bottle-fed group, accompanied by decreased activity. Afte...

Background: Autism disorder in children is characterized by problems in social functioning, communication, and the existence of repetitive and stereotyped behaviors. The pervasive and severe disabilities of children with autism are a difficult experience for their parents and families and are often accompanied by a range of challenges for caregivers. Therefore, designing appropriate programs to...

INTRODUCTION The role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is not clear as increased activation of MMPs in the vasculature contrasts with decreased activity of MMPs in the kidneys, contributing to development of nephropathy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We measured serum MMP-2 and MMP-9 in 22 subjects with type 2 DM age (mean ± SD) 56.7 ±16.8 years, BMI 31.8 ±4.6 kg/m(...

We present sound and (deterministically) complete algorithms for stepwise design of two families ofmultitolerant programs in a high atomicity program model, where a program can read and write all itsvariables in an atomic step. We illustrate that if one needs to add failsafe (respectively, nonmasking)fault-tolerance to one class of faults and masking fault-tolerance to another c...

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is the primary factor limiting agricultural productivity in acid soils. The cell wall mainly composed of saccharides and first barrier for aluminum to enter plant root cells, but it unknown whether how saccharide components are involved regulating Al tolerance Lespedeza that well adapted Here, we used Al-tolerant bicolor Al-sensitive cuneata examine association with throu...

Objective(s):Dependence and tolerance to opioid analgesics are major problems limiting their clinical application. a-Terpineol is a monoterpenoid alcohol with neuroprotective effects which is found in several medicinal plants such as Myrtus communis, Laurus nobilis, and Stachys byzantina. It has been shown that some of these medicinal plants such as S. byzantina attenuate dependence and toleran...

Does Buddhism really promote tolerance? Based on cross-cultural and cross-religious evidence, we hypothesized that Buddhist concepts, possibly differing from Christian concepts, activate not only prosociality but also tolerance. Subliminally priming Buddhist concepts, compared with neutral or Christian concepts, decreased explicit prejudice against ethnic, ideological, and moral outgroups among...
