BACKGROUND Use of Carica papaya leaf extracts, reported to improve thrombocyte counts in dengue patients, demands further analysis on the underlying mechanism of its thrombopoietic cytokines induction METHODS In vitro cultures of peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) were treated with unripe papaya pulp juice (UPJ) to evaluate its potent...

Forty-eight Blackbelly X Dorset, 27 Finnish, 26 Finnish X Dorset, 28 Rambouillet and 8 Dorset Suffolk-sired lambs were used in this experiment. Three weeks before lambing, one-half of the ewes received a selenium emulsion (Se-E) containing .05 mg selenium and 3.7 IU of vitamin E/kg body weight (BW). A 2 X 3 X 2 factorial arrangement was used; lambs from either treated or nontreated ewes were ra...

Abstract Biogenic amines (BAs) are organic compounds found in fermented food products, such as sausage, vegetables, wine, and fish sauce. Due to their potential be harmful human health markers of quality, BAs content can used an indicator quality safety. Some bacteria have the ability produce or degrade during fermentation. Environmental conditions influence growth that biogenic amines. The aim...

The objectives of these experiments were to determine 1) the most effective vitamin C concentration to stabilize color of beef cuts during retail display and 2) the effect on color of incorporating vitamin C into a calcium chloride (CaCl2) injection solution. Top round cuts (semimembranosus and adductor) were injected with 5% by weight of a 0, .25, .5, 1, 2, or 4% sodium ascorbate solution (Exp...

PURPOSE These days, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have received worldwide attention because of their potentiality in tissue engineering for implant dentistry. The purpose of this study was to evaluate various growth inducing factors in media for improvement of acquisition of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and colony forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F). MATERIALS AND METHODS The mouse...

This investigation was conducted to determine the intracellular distribution of copper in the liver of normal sheep, and the changes associated with exposure to increased dietary copper. Normal rat liver (3.8 + 1.0) ~/g Cu/g liver, wet tissue basis) and normal sheep liver (102.0 -+ 37.2 /~g Cu/g liver) was processed to give the four common subcellular fractions. When the intracellular distribut...
