Increased white blood cell counts or leukocytosis have been observed primarily in young rats fed diets extremely low in Mg (< 60 ppm) and high in phosphorus (0.5 % P). We investigated the influence that acute and moderate Mg deficiencies have on blood leukocytes at high and low dietary phosphorus levels. For four weeks, male Sprague-Dawley rats (initially 7 weeks old) were fed diets containing ...

PURPOSE Aberrant arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism, especially through the cyclooxygenase (Cox) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-Lox) pathways, has been suggested to play an important role in the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of 5-Lox in EAC of a rat model and in human samples as well as the chemopreventive effects of zileuton (a...

The study was conducted in agricultural research field at Noakhali Science and Technology University, Noakhali, Bangladesh during March 2021 to enhance the production of red amaranth (Amaranthus gangeticus cv: RM) by using urea fertilizer with gibberellic acid. experiment laid out a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) comprising four treatments three replications. treatment combinations wer...

Juniperus communis leaf oil, J. chinensis wood oil, and Cupressus funebris wood oil (Cupressaceae) from China were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. We identified 104 compounds, representing 66.8-95.5% of the oils. The major components were: α-pinene (27.0%), α-terpinene (14.0%), and linalool (10.9%) for J. communis; cuparene (11.3%) and δ-cadinene (7.8%) ...

We investigated recovery from anaesthesia in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) with and without surgery. Fish either underwent light sedation on exposure to 60 ppm AQUI-S or surgical depth anaesthesia with 120 ppm AQUI-S. Surgical depth anaesthesia experiments were replicated using New Zealand snapper (Pagrus auratus). During light sedation, there was no evidence of catecholamine releas...

The present study investigated the effect of GA3 on physicochemical properties and shelf life mango (Mangifera indica L. var. Bombay green) from 31st May 2022 to 8th June at Central Laboratory GPCAR collage Gothgaun, Morang, Nepal. study's goal was find right gibberellic acid concentration use in mangoes that were collected a mature stage delay fruit ripening, preserve quality, lengthen life. e...

objective: oxidation of oils has an important effect on nutritional and organoleptic properties of foodstuffs. nowadays, new tendency has created a necessity to use natural compounds such as essential oils for producing functional foods. in this study, antioxidant, antifungal, and organoleptic properties of zataria multiflora boiss.(zmeo) and cinnamon zeylanicum essential oils (czeo) have been ...

This study was aimed to assess the adsorption and leaching potential of imidacloprid pesticide in column and field soil. To understand mechanism of adsorption and factors affecting, the experiments were carried out under laboratory and field conditions. Adsorption study was divided into kinetic and equilibrium sections. The evaluation of kinetic data was done through pseudo first and second ord...

BACKGROUND On April-May, 2011, two Taiwan chemical companies were found to have intentionally added phthalates, Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and/or Di-isononyl phthalate, as a substitute of emulsifier to many foodstuffs. This study aimed to investigate whether exposure to these foods altered endocrine functions in children aged ≤10 years and, if so, whether those changes could be reversed...

The influence of GA3 application on the fruit quality and productivity of cane pruned Thompson seedless was evaluated. Four treatments applied were: GA3, Girdle, GA3 + Girdle and control with no GA3 and no girdle were used. GA3 or GA3 + Girdle berries resulted in heavier berries, hastened berry diameter, and produced larger berries in comparison to the control grapevine trees. In addition, bunc...
