A number of experiments (1, 2, 3, 4) have shown that cod liver oil is an effective therapeutic agent for the prevention and cure of rickets (leg weakness) in young chickens. We have recently attempted to determine: (1) the minimal amount, of cod liver oil necessary for the prevention of rickets in chickens, (2) the effect of one method of storage on the titirachitic potency of cod liver oil, an...

The carbohydrate moiety of cod serum IgM was analysed using oligosaccharide sequencing techniques. The carbohydrate moiety constituted about 10% of the molecular weight of cod IgM, was associated with the constant region of the heavy chains (Fc), and was composed of N-linked complex type oligosaccharides. Considerable heterogeneity was observed. Sixteen different glycan structures were identifi...

The influence of sodium hydroxide addition during the thermo-chemical pretreatment of a microbial biomass has been evaluated in terms of particulate chemical oxygen demand (COD) solubilization and anaerobic biodegradability. Both COD solubilization and total solid elimination rates increased with the dose of NaOH added: COD solubilization reached 63%, and total solid elimination was 33% when 5 ...

Paraeuchaeta norvegica (8.5 mm total length) and yolk-sac stage Atlantic cod larvae (4 mm total length) (Gadus morhua) larvae were observed in aquaria (3 l of water) using silhouette video photography. This allowed direct observations (and quantitative measurement) of predator–prey interactions between these two species in 3-dimensions. Tail beats, used by cod larvae to propel themselves throug...

A shaft-type activated sludge reactor has been developed in order to study the feasibility of high-rate wastewater treatment. The reactor having volume of about 14.5 L was operated with the acclimated mixed activated sludge under batch and continuous mode using a synthetic wastewater as feed. The batch study was performed with varying chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations of 1000–3500 mg·...

To compare the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIT) with one versus three changes of direction (COD) on young (age, 17.2±1.1 years) female basketball players’ performance, six weeks of regular basketball training (control period) was followed by six weeks of high-intensity training added to regular training , two times per week, with a random allocation of athletes to either HIT wi...

In this study, the selectivity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzyme inhibition by ketamine (KTM) and the kinetics of KTM inhibition of human liver microsomal morphine (MOR) and codeine (COD) glucuronidation were characterized to explore a pharmacokinetic basis for the KTM-opioid interaction. With the exception of UGT1A4, KTM inhibited the activities of recombinant human UGT enzymes in a ...
