Abderaz The composition of the essential oil obtained from the seeds of Ammi majus L. which collected from province of Khozestan in the southwest area of Iran.The oils was analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Twenty - eight components have been identified in the extract of A. majus L. with Toluene (3.766%), Thymol (12.811%), Carvacrol (37.811%) as major components, respecti...

In the field of platelet concentrates for surgical use, most products are termed Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). Unfortunately, this term is very general and incomplete, leading to many confusions in the scientific database. In this article, a panel of experts discusses this issue and proposes an accurate and simple terminology system for platelet concentrates for surgical use. Four main categories...

Animal data indicates that dietary cottonseed oil (CSO) may lower cholesterol; however, the effects of a CSO-rich diet have not been evaluated in humans. Thirty-eight healthy adults (aged 18-40; 12 males, 26 females) consumed a CSO rich diet (95 g CSO daily) for one week. Anthropometric measurements were obtained, and blood was drawn pre- and post-intervention. Serum lipids (total cholesterol (...

Histone biosynthesis was investigated in proerythroblasts and megaloblasts obtained from patients with untreated pernicious anemia. Radioautography, using tritiumlabeled L-arginine, L-lysine, and L-trytophane, acrylamide gel electrophoresis of histone fractions, acrylamide gel radioautography, uptake of radioisotopes into lysine-rich and arginine-rich histone fractions, and amino acid analysis ...

The opposite orientation of the ester spacers in the rodlike ligands L 4C12 (benzimidazole-OOC-phenyl) and L 5C12 (benzimidazole-COO-phenyl) drastically changes the electronic structure of the aromatic systems, without affecting their meridional tricoordination to trivalent lanthanides, Ln(III), and their thermotropic liquid crystalline (i.e., mesomorphic) behaviors. However, the rich mesomorph...

  A new bioactive proline-rich cyclohexapeptide - diandrine C (6), previously isolated from whole plant of Drymaria diandra (Caryophyllaceae), was synthesized through coupling reactions of tetrapeptide unit Boc-Gly-l-Pro-l-Tyr-l-Trp-OH with dipeptide unit l-Pro-Gly-OMe using N,N-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIPC) as the coupling agent, followed by cyclization of l...
