Carbon supported Ni and NiCo catalysts are prepared for amino compounds electrooxidation. Their electrocatalytic behaviors toward 8 kinds of acids (glycine, alanine, histidine, methionine, proline, serine, tyrosine, cysteine) are...

A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to examine the effect and interaction of dietary ractopamine hydrochloride (Rac) supplementation in diets with varied levels protein lipid for L. calbasu fingerlings. To attain this, fish body compositions, digestive metabolic enzyme activity were assessed. In total, nine fed triplicates four hundred five healthy Calbasu, Labeo fingerlings, based on suppleme...

Recently we found a small hepatocyte-specific protein, annexin A3 (AnxA3), in fractionated adult rat hepatocytes. Here we describe the results of an in vivo demonstration of AnxA3-expressing cellular phenotypes in the liver with 2-acetylaminofluoren (2-AAF)/carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4))-injury. In association with an elevation of alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartic acid amino transfera...

This study investigated the inhibitory effect of aqueous extract of Trigonella foenum-graecum seeds (AqE-TFG) on fat accumulation and dyslipidemia in high fat diet- (HFD-) induced obese rats. Female Wistar rats were fed with HFD ad libitum, and the rats on HFD were treated orally with AqE-TFG or orlistat ((HFD for 28 days+AqE-TFG (0.5 and 1.0 g/kg) or orlistat (10 mg/kg) from day 8 to 28), resp...

BACKGROUND Latrodectism, a syndrome caused by Latrodectus genus, is one of the clinical problems that occur predominantly in north east of Iran. Nowadays antivenom therapy has become the most useful treatment for animal bites; however there is still a controversy about route and time of antivenom administration in spider bite. The aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy of specif...

Two new flavonoids, takakin 7-O-glucoside (1) and (2) bucegin 7-O-glucoside, and six other known compounds (3-8), takakin, isosctullarien, its 7-O-glucoside, takakin 8-O-glucoside, xanthotoxin and esculetin, were separated and identified from Glossostemon bruguieri. The new compounds were characterized using modern spectroscopic techniques, including UV spectroscopy, proton nuclear resonance (1...

Several homeopathic remedies, namely, Pulsatilla Nigricans (30th potency), Ceanothus Americanus (both mother tincture and 6th potency) and Ferrum Metallicum (30th potency) selected as per similia principles were administered to 38 thalassemic patients receiving Hydroxyurea (HU) therapy for a varying period of time. Levels of serum ferritin (SF), fetal hemoglobin (HbF), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet...

Oxidative stress and genotoxicity induced by intraperitoneally implanted polycaprolactone (PCL) were evaluated in present study. In an effort to assess oxidative stress induced liver injury, we measured hematological indices, biochemical parameters of liver function and levels of oxidative stress biomarkers such as lipid peroxidation (LPO), 8hydroxy-2’deoxy guanosine (8-OHdG), reduced glutathio...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a new phosphorothionate, the methyl ester of 2-butenoic acid-3-diethoxy phosphinothioyl (RPR-II) on membrane bound target enzymes aspartate amino transferase (ASAT), alanine amino transferase (ALAT) and RBC acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in different tissues of male and female albino wistar rats when treated orally with 0.014 (low), 0.028 (medi...

Aim: The present investigation has been conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of Curcuma longa against lead induced toxicity. Materials and Methods: For this study, 24 Wistar albino rats were taken. Control group (n=8), group – I rats (n=8) were given lead acetate @ 1000 mg/kg bodyweight (BW) and group – II rats (n=8) were treated with Curcuma longa @ 500 mg/kg BW along with lead ac...
