Structural alterations of the apolipoprotein E (apo E) are known to influence the lipid metabolism. The three most common isoproteins Arg 158) are encoded by three co-dominant alleles (e2, el, e4). Phenotyping is cumbersome and, therefore, several methods for apo E genotyping have been developed. Of these, PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) is currently most rapid and cost-effe...

Thermostable direct hemolysin purified from cultured filtrates of a pathogenic strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (1) has been reported to have potent cardiotoxic and hemolytic activities (2, 3). Intravenous injection of small doses (10 to 20 ug/kg) of hemolysin killed the rats within several hr. Electrocardiograms of rats after administration (i.v.) of hemolysin showed significant changes due t...

I regard it as a great honour to be able to speak to you at this opening ceremony of the Symposium on The Chemistry of Natural Products. I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt thanks to the Australian Academy of Science, and especially to the Organizing Committee, for the invitation which they extended to me and which I accepted with great pleasure. This is my first visit to Australia...

Introduction. When purifying natural objects from heavy metals a decisive role is played by sorption technologies, for the development of which new kinds sorbents are required. The aim study to evaluate capacity granulated foam glass in treatment surface wastewater (SW) urbanized areas (on example Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn). Materials methods. Granulated was used as sorbent. sorbate urban c...

Organic toxic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phenolic are a global environmental concern they cause inflammation and skin cancer. As you know there two types of anthropogenic sources hydrocarbons: petrogenic pyrogenic sources. Petrogenic include crude oil petroleum-derived hydrocarbon compounds. Pyrogenic formed result incomplete combustion organic substances oil, wood, coa...

In recent years, a series of environmental and ecological problems have occurred due to enhanced anthropogenic disturbances for precious mineral mining. Traditional medicines become an important pillar in national homeopathic treatment system, especially mountainous environment developing countries. The current study investigated the level potentially toxic elements’ (PTEs) contamination degrad...

Vegetables such as spinach, African eggplant, cabbage, okra, chili peppers and tomatoes are found in our everyday foods the most important dietary source of nutrient. But, it becomes deleterious to human well animals accumulates toxic metals their tissue when grown contaminated soil. The mostly consumed vegetables like eggplant (fruit leaves), Corchorus olitorius leaf, Amaranthus hybridus peppe...
