Background This study aimed to assess the protective effects of saturejakhuzistanica (SJKH) on sperm quality parameters in the Nonyl phenol (NP) - treated mice. MaterialsAndMethods In present experimental study, 32 young adult male mice (8-12 weeks) were randomly divided into four groups including control and test groups. The control group received corn oil orally, and the test groups were trea...

1.1 Graded associative algebras. A nite Z-grading of an algebra A is a decomposition A = L n i=?n A i such that A i A j A i+j , where A i = 0 for jij > n. From now on a grading means a nite Z-grading. I am interested in associative graded algebras because they arise naturally in study of Lie algebras, although the subject is certainly interesting in its own right. A classiication of gradings of...

Animals dosed orally with nitrite (1.5 X 10(-3) mol/kg) and nonyl dimethylbenzylammonium bromide (2.9 X 10(-4) mol/kg) exhibit liver damage within two hours; cetyl trimethylammonium bromide plus nitrite was not significantly hepatotoxic. Both nonyl dimethylbenzyl ammonium bromide and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide were demethylated by rat-liver microsomal preparations; substrate concentrations...

INTRODUCTION The treatment of septic conditions in critically ill patients is still one of medicine's major challenges. Cyclic nucleotides, adenosine and its receptors play a pivotal role in the regulation of inflammatory responses and in limiting inflammatory tissue destruction. The aim of this study was to verify the hypothesis that adenosine deaminase-1 and cyclic guanosine monophosphate-sti...

Interaction of chemical fusogen n-nonyl bromide with a model membrane formed from phosphatidylcholine was studied using 2D-NMR spectra of heavy water and 31P-NMR proton decoupled spectra of the lipid phosphate group in multilamellar lipid dispersions. n-Nonyl bromide was found to influence the hydration layer of the model membrane. No participation of phosphatidylcholine molecules in non-bilaye...

Quaternary ammonium salts (QAS), both linear and bicyclic, are often utilized to improve the mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of peptides by fixing a permanent positive charge on the analyzed molecule. However, during collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments, QAS undergo unwanted side reactions-Hofmann elimination as well as a tertiary amine loss- rendering the data interpretation compli...

Background Nonyl phenol (NP) has been considered an endocrine disrupting substance causing reproductive dysfunction and increase in reactive oxygen species production in different organs including testis. vitamin E (VitE) is a potent scavenger of free radicals and is able to prevent the membrane damage mediated by free radicals The aim of this study was to elucidate the protective effects of Vi...

Environmental estrogenic compounds which bind to the estrogen receptor (ER) can block or alter endogenous functions of estrogen in reproductive and developmental stages. A microarray technology is a very valuable method for the prediction of hormone-responsive activities in various gene expressions. Thus, we investigated the altered gene expression by estrogen and endocrine disruptors (EDs) usi...

The crystal structure of the title compound, C(16)H(24)N(2)O, is built up from two fused six- and five-membered rings linked to C(9)H(19) chains. The fused-ring system is essentially planar, the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.009 (2) Å. The chain is nearly perpendicular to this plane [dihedral angle = 80.27 (17)°]. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form dimers ...
