BACKGROUND: Garlic (Allium sativum) is known for its anti-bacterial properties, but information on its effects against bacteria species that are important in fish diseases is scarce. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this research was to use garlic as a natural product to improve the aquatic animal health status so as to compensate the demand for environment-friendly products for sustainable aquacultur...

Introduction: Nogo-A and Nogo receptor (NgR) are expressed in the subventricular zone (SVZ) stem cells. NgR plays critical inhibitory roles in axonal regeneration and remyelination. However, the role of NgR in SVZ niche behaviors in demyelination context is still uncertain. Here we investigated the effects of NgR inhibition on SVZ niche reaction in a local model of demyelination in adult mouse ...

1. Subregions in the receptive fields of hypercomplex cells have been examined by a variety of quantitative methods with particular reference to the dimensions and properties of the end-zone inhibitory areas. These data have made it possible to construct detailed maps of the receptive-field organization of the two types of hypercomplex cell (I and II). 2. The spatial extent of the end-zone inhi...

The aim of this study is to determine the sensitivity of polyphenol green tea on mutans streptococci. Tea is a traditional drink that is beneficial to health. One of its benefits is its capability to prevent dental caries because it has active substance polyphenol.An extract of green tea non-fermented tea leaves of Camellia sinensis and its chromatographically isolated polyphenol compound was e...

background: the aim of this in vitro study was to assess antimicrobial efficacy of acacia nilotica, murraya koenigii (l.) sprengel, eucalyptus hybrid , psidium guajava extracts, and their combination on streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus acidophilus. materials and methods: the branches of four plants were collected, identified, and authenticated by a taxonomist. the plants were rinsed in wa...
