The effect of chronic exposure to light of adult Wistar rats on growth and function of adrenal zona glomerulosa (ZG) and zona fasciculata (ZF) were examined. The females were exposed to continuous light of 600 lux for 95 days, starting on day 30 of age. The controls were kept under a 12:12 h light-dark cycle, at ambient temperature. The rats were sacrificed by decapitation and the left adrenal ...

Abstract Unique technique is currently demonstrated for preparation of ultraviolet protective cotton fabrics with full shielding effect, via self-implantation palladium (Pd) nanoclusters. Palladium nanoclusters were in-situ immobilized within native and cationized using two different concentrations precursor (20 60 mM) under strong acidic (pH 2) basic 11.5) media. Cationization (50 100%) was pe...
