Mood disorders are more frequent in women than men, however, the majority of research has focused on male rodents as animal models. We used a variety of common behavioral tests to look for differences in anxiety-like and social behaviors between and within C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ mice. Our results show that female C57BL/6J mice exhibited lower levels of anxiety-like behavior and higher levels of a...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in food matrices has been investigated under conditions that favor exchange. However, the major challenge lies determining specific pertaining to adapted microbial pairs associated with matrix. HGT is primarily responsible for enhancing repertoire evolution and spread of antimicrobial resistance a target controlling pathogens public health concern ecosystems. In t...

In this work, we show that detecting the polarization information of ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{cJ}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\phi}\ensuremath{\phi}(J=0,1,2)$ could be a practical way to test hadronic loop effect in these decays. Our results predicted ratios helicity amplitudes are less dependent on parameters involved calculation. The determined $|{F}_{1,1}^{(0)}/{F}_{0,0}^{(0)}|\ensuremat...

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetic patients are faced with a higher risk of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disorders. This study was undertaken to assess the effect of consumption of 1 cup cranberry juice by type 2 diabetic patients on serum paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity, apoA-1, apoB, glucose, and Lp(a). METHODS In a double-blind randomized clinical trial, 58 type 2 diabetic male patients were ran...

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of biofilms formed by lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus sp. (BLA) in preventing controlling formation wild and/or planktonic forms Salmonella Gallinarum (SG), Heidelberg (SH), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on different surfaces. The SH SG viability was evaluated polystyrene plates, wood shavings, soil samples. Two protocols were dev...

Campylobacter jejuni is a foodborne bacterial pathogen, which is now considered as a leading cause of human bacterial gastroenteritis. The information regarding ribonucleases in C. jejuni is very scarce but there are hints that they can be instrumental in virulence mechanisms. Namely, PNPase (polynucleotide phosphorylase) was shown to allow survival of C. jejuni in refrigerated conditions, to f...

C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ mice display significant differences in sociability and response to drugs, but the phenotypic variability of their susceptibility to cocaine is still not well known. In this study, the differences between these two mice strains in the persistence of cocaine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP), as well as the locomotion and social behaviors after the 24-hour withdrawa...

Coptis japonica (Cj) rhizomes are used as a crude drug for gastroenteritis, since they accumulate antimicrobial berberine. Berberine also shows various useful bioactivities, including cholesterol-lowering activity. Unfortunately, Cj is a slow-growing plant and more than 5 years are required to obtain a crude drug suitable for the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. To improve alkaloid productivity, we over...

The enzyme kinetics of the metabolism of ezlopitant in liver microsomes from various species have been determined. The rank order of the species with regard to the in vitro intrinsic clearance of ezlopitant was monkey >> guinea pig > rat >> dog > human. CJ-12,764, a benzyl alcohol analog, was observed as a major metabolite, and a dehydrogenated metabolite (CJ-12,458) was equally important in hu...
