A new multiresidue method is described for the determination of pesticides in honey. The method involves dissolution of the honey in a methanol-water mixture, followed by solid-phase extraction cleanup and gas chromatographic determination. Twenty-six pesticides used on flowering field crops, on flowering fruit and vegetables, or as acaricides to control Varroa jacobsoni in beehives are determi...

AIM The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of once-daily human glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue liraglutide with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor sitagliptin, each added to metformin, over 52 weeks in individuals with type 2 diabetes. METHODS In an open-label, parallel-group trial, metformin-treated participants were randomised to liraglutide 1.2 mg/day (n=225), liraglut...

to investigate the effect of plant density and supplemental irrigation on agronomic characteristics, chlorophyll content and light interception beneath the canopy of three chickpea genotypes under dryland conditions, an experiment was conducted at research station of lorestan agricultural research center located at chegini, khoramabad, during 2004-2005. the study was conducted using a split-spl...

Introduction: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant clonal disorder of hematopoietic stem cells resulting in the increase of myeloid cells, erythroid cells and platelets in the peripheral blood and hyperplasia in bone marrow. The research evaluated the cytotoxic effects of hydro-alcoholic extracts of Lepidium Sativum (Cress plant) shoots before and after flowering on K562 cell line as a...

The effects of 20 amino acids and two amides were studied on the flowering of a photoperiodically insensitive duckweed, Lemnapaucicostata LP6. Alanine, asparagine, aspartate, cystine, glutamate, glutamine, glycine, lysine, methionine, proline, serine, and threonine induced flowering under a photoperiodic regime of 16 hours light and 8 hours darkness. Among these, glutamate and aspartate were fo...

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) on the topic “Influence Phosphorus and Iron Yield Economics Lentil (Lens culinaris L.)”, to study treatments consisting three levels viz. 20 kg, 30 kg 50 kg/ha 5, 10 kg/ha. The soil experimental plot sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral reaction (pH 7.1), low organic carbon ...

Erythropoietin (EPO) possesses generalized neuroprotective and neurotrophic actions. We tested the efficacy of recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) in preventing and reversing nerve dysfunction in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in rats. Two days after STZ [60 mg/kg of body weight (b.w.), i.p.], diabetic animals were administered rhEPO (40 microg/kg of b.w.) three times weekly for 5 weeks either...

ABSTRACT This study was conducted with the objective of evaluating quantum yield, photosynthetic pigments and biomass accumulation mini watermelon cv. Sugar Baby, under strategies irrigation saline water potassium fertilization. The experiment in a randomized block design, 8 × 3 factorial scheme, three replicates, corresponding to eight applied at different phenological stages crop (control - l...

RESEARCHDESIGNANDMETHODSdPatients inadequately controlled onmetformin and sulfonylurea (HbA1c $7 to #10%) were randomized and treated with once-daily empagliflozin 10 mg (n = 225), empagliflozin 25 mg (n = 216), or placebo (n = 225) for 24 weeks. The primary end point was change from baseline inHbA1c at week 24. Key secondary end points were changes from baseline in weight and mean daily glucos...
