background: rise in serum homocysteine level may be associated with higher prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in hypothyroidism. levothyroxine can partly diminish serum homocysteine level. folic acid participates in homocysteine metabolic cycle in the human body. the effect of concomitant administration of folic acid and levothyroxine on serum homocysteine level was evaluated in the present ...

the photocatalytic degradation of two anionic azo dyes acid red88 (ar 88) and acid orange 7 (ao7) was investigated in aqueous solution using a tio2-containing hydrogel and uv light. the ph-sensitive hydrogel poly (styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (psma), was synthesized and crosslinked in the presence of melamine and tio2 nanoparticles which results in entrapment of tio 2 into the melamine-grafted...

patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (aml) with monosomy 7 are a group of patients with refractory aml who have a very poor prognosis. therefore, rationally designed new therapies, including metronomic chemotherapy regimen with histidine deacetylase inhibitors (valporic acid, atra) are being investigated as potential treatments for the population of refractory cases of aml. herein, we repo...

the biosynthetic pathways of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids consist of many steps controlled by various enzymes. one of the methods for improving oil quality is to change the fatty acid profile through genetic manipulation which requires isolation and characterization of the genes and other cis-acting elements, such as the promoter, involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. b-ketoacyl-coa syn...

an experiment was conducted to reevaluate the digestible lysine requirement of arian male broilers by comparing the performance of chicks fed different levels of cottonseed meal (csm) on a total amino acid (aa) versus a digestible aa basis. four hundred and thirty two (432) arian male broiler chicks were allotted to 18 treatments with four repli-cates of six chicks each in a completely randomiz...
