The effectiveness of an alpha-chloralose (AC)-corn oil suspension, an AC-margarine mixture, and AC tablets were compared for immobilizing Canada geese (Branta canadensis). Responses to AC immobilization also were compared in male and female Canada geese. There was no difference in mean time to first effects or mean time to capture between male and female geese dosed with 30 mg/kg AC in orally-a...

Ac–ac power conversion, the most popular topologies are indirect ac–ac converters with a dc link matrix converters and direct pulse width modulation (PWM) ac–ac converters. The indirect ac–ac converters and matrix converters can provide variable output voltage and variable frequency. However, for applications, where only voltage regulation is needed, the direct PWM ac–ac converters are used to ...

Acebutolol (AC) is a chiral b-adrenergic blocking drug, which is useful clinically as the racemate in treating hypertension and is metabolized to an equipotent chiral metabolite, diacetolol (DC). In this paper we report a case of a 32 year old woman who was receiving AC during her pregnancy and lactating time for management of hypertension. The maternal plasma level and breast milk as well as c...

objective(s): comparative in vivo studies were carried out to determine the adsorption characteristics of amitriptyline (amt) on activated charcoal (ac) and sodium polystyrene sulfonate (sps). ac has been long used as gastric decontamination agent for tricyclic antidepressants and sps has showed to be highly effective on in-vitro drugs adsorption. materials and methods: sprague-dawley male rats...

We investigated the kinetics of 4N-acetyl-pentapeptides, Ac-P1, Ac-P2, Ac-P3, and Ac-P4, regarding inhibition of mushroom tyrosinase activity. The peptides sequences of Ac-P1, Ac-P2, Ac-P3, and Ac-P4 were Ac-RSRFK, Ac-KSRFR, Ac-KSSFR, and Ac-RSRFS, respectively. The 4N-acetyl-pentapeptides were able to reduce the oxidation of l-DOPA by tyrosinase in a dose-dependent manner. Of the 4N-acetyl-pen...
