Iron defi ciency is the most common preventable nutritional problem despite continued global goals for its control. Historically, the problem of IDA in children largely disappeared in North America when food...

Sugar composition was determined in three groups of products: starch (maltose) syrup produced in Poland from wheat starch (for several years beekeepers have been trying to use it as bee food), winter store made from the syrup by bees and honey. Winter stores were analyzed in three subgroups: subgroup 1 – material collected from honeycombs of bee colonies two months after the syrup was fed to th...

New scientific evidence shows that consuming too much fructose, a basic type of sugar, can cause some these Sugary foods such as soft drinks sweetened with syrups have very high fructose content. Drinking beverages results weight gain from the accumulation body fat. Scientists also found that, ch...

Derivative spectrophotometric procedures and an isocratic high performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of butamyrate citrate (Sinecod, Safarol) in cough syrups have been developed. In the spectrophotometric method, direct measurement of the drug at its absorption maxima is impossible because of interference from different absorbing excipients. Extraction of butamyrate ci...

background: gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is the most common metabolic complications of pregnancy and causes fetal mortality and morbidity. therefore early diagnosis of gdm is necessary to reduce maternal and fetal morbidity and to help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes objective: this prospective study was carried out to determine the incidence of gdm in yazd and to assess th...

abstractin the present work we set out to investigate the neuroprotective effects of noscapine (0.5-2 µm) in presence of d-glucose on primary murine foetal cortical neurons after oxygen–glucose deprivation/24 hrs recovery. cell viability, nitric oxide production and intracellular calcium ([ca2+]i) levels were evaluated by mtt assay, the modified griess method and fura-2 respectively. 25 and 100...

gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is the most common metabolic disorder during pregnancy which is associated with 3 to 4 folds of increase in the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity, if it is not diagnosed early (1). gestational diabetes occurs from 1% to 14%, and 90% of pregnancy-related diabetes has been related to gestational diabetes (2). glucose challenge test (gct) and glucose toleranc...
