Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a multifactorial intestinal disorder that involves interactions among the immune system, genetic susceptibility, and environmental factors, especially the bacterial flora. Polydextrose, a polysaccharide constituted by 90% nondigestible and nonabsorbable soluble fibers, has several physiological effects consistent with those of dietary fibers, including prolif...

Throat fan (dewlap) extension is sexually dimorphic in green anole lizards (Anolis carolinensis). Males have larger dewlaps which they display more frequently than females. Correlated with the behavior, sexual dimorphisms occur in the skeletal, muscular and neural structures responsible for dewlap extension in green anoles. We used histochemical techniques to stain for myosin ATPase and succina...

batiaghata upazila, khulna district in south-west coastal region of bangladesh is the mostly saline affected area, where agriculture activities are mainly dependent on rainfall. 23 water samples from surface water and shallow tube well (stw) were collected in the monsoon season and analyzed for physico-chemical properties to classify them according to salinity hazard. electrical conductivity (e...

Background: Sodium caseinate is a rich source of protein and minerals originating from animals. Numerous food and non-food products are made from sodium caseinate. The present study investigated the chemical components (moisture, crude protein, ash, and soluble crude protein) of sodium caseinate prepared by different acids and drying techniques. Methods: A completely randomized factorial desig...

Acid-soluble collagen was extracted from the skins of surf smelt and characterized. The yield of collagen was high about 24.0% on a dry weight basis. By SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and CM-Toyopearl 650 M column chromatography, this collagen is a heterotrimer with a chain composition of α1α2α3. The denaturation temperature was 32.5°C, about 4.5°C lower than that from porcine skin. Att...

Microtubule-associated fibers from the basal apparatus of the green flagellate alga Spermatozopsis similis exhibit a complex cross-striation pattern with 28-nm periodicity and consist of 2-nm filaments arranged in several layers. Fibers enriched by mechanical disintegration and high salt extraction (2 M NaCl) of isolated basal apparatuses are soluble in 2 M urea. Dialysis of solubilized fibers ...

The study aimed at producing single-cell oil using Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria and conducting solubility testing to confirm production estimate the content of produced from fatty acids, corn coalts were used as a carbon source applied optimal conditions forthe obtained previous study, amid liquid in experiment was extracted with saxolite device (Soxhletlet) ) We highest productivity by 55....

Groundnut seed priming was performed with an aqueous solution of gibberellic acid (GA3) (0, 50, 100, and 150 ppm for 18h) and accelerated aging (96 h) was done prior to drought stress (-0.4, -0.6, and -0.8 MPa), then recovered. Investigated traits were germination percentage, mean germination time, germination rate, vigor index, plumule length, radicle length, seedling length, malondialdehyde c...

Drought stress influences seed germination and seedling growth of many plants. Seed coating is technique of covering seeds with adhesive agents to improve seed performance and plant establishment and could be used to alleviate the negative effects of osmotic stress. In order to solve the problem of low germination and poor vigor of sweet corn under osmotic stress conditions (0, -0.3, -0.6 and -...
