Diallyl sulfide (DAS), a selective inhibitor of CYP2E1, has shown protective effects against alcohol- and acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in many studies. However, DAS is also a CYP2E1 substrate that on metabolism produces toxic metabolites and causes cytotoxicity. The objective of this study was to find a potent DAS analog as a CYP2E1 inhibitor and has the characteristic of producing less...

Among various environmental stresses, salt stress is an extensively damaging to major crops all over the world. A set of experiments was conducted to examine the role of 28-homobrassinolide on growth and photosynthetic pigments of salt tolerant Brassica juncea cultivar RLC-1 under control or saline conditions i.e., 0 or 180 mM of NaCl. Surface sterilized seeds of B. juncea were given pre-sowing...

Vitamin D3 has a role in many autoimmune diseases and appears to play a function in controlling Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between serum level of vitamin D and RA disease activity score. The serum level of vitamin D in 75 RA patients referred to the rheumatology clinic of Rasoul-Akram hospital was measured. Patients were classified into low,...

Methods A total of 96 (66 females) patients were enrolled. Psychosocial distress was assessed by the Greek version of the self-completed paper-based General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). A second questionnaire regarding marital status, education level and employment status was completed by all patients.

Experiments were conducted to study the plant growth and tuber yield of the seed potato collected from PVY and PLRV infected plants. The seed potatoes were graded as under size (<28 mm), A grade ( 28-40 mm), B grade (41-55 mm) and over size (>55 mm) which were planted following RCBD in the field. Third generation seed potatoes of Diamant variety were used. The incidence of viruses was confirmed...

The HKαα allele is a rearrangement occurring in the α-globin gene cluster containing both the -α(3.7) and ααα(anti4.2) unequal crossover junctions. The anti-HKαα allele is the reciprocal product containing both the -α(4.2) and ααα(anti3.7) unequal crossover junctions, which had been predicted but had not been detected previously. The phenotypic feature and population frequency of these two unus...
