The effects of the nitric oxide (NO) donor spermine NONOate (Sp-NO, 1.0 mM) on cross-bridge recruitment and cross-bridge cycling kinetics were studied in permeabilized rabbit psoas muscle fibers. Fibers were activated at various Ca2+ concentrations (pCa, negative logarithm of Ca2+ concentration), and the pCa at which force was maximal (pCa 4.0) and approximately 50% of maximal (pCa50 5.6) were ...

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the parasitic fauna of Opisthonema oglinum (Lesueur, 1818) from Southeastern Brazil. Between September 2017 and March 2018, a total 100 specimens O. Sepetiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (22°54'S, 43°34'W) were examined. Ninety one parasitized by at least species metazoan with mean 5.84 ± 7.98 parasites/fish. Seven collected: 2 digeneans, monogeneans, copepo...

This study examined eight hundred ninety six marine fishes belonging to nine different fish species; Synodus saurus; Merluccius merluccius; Trachurus mediterraneus; Serranus cabrilla; Mullus surmuletus; Diplodus annularis; Spicara maena; Siganus rirulatus and Liza ramada. The fishes were bought from fish markets at five different sites on Libyan coast, from January to December 2013, for study t...

ABSTRACT The insecticidal effect of the essential oil Piper aduncum (EOPA), and its constituent dillapiole [1-allyl-2,3-dimethoxy-4,5-(methylenedioxy) benzene] in particular, is well documented literature can be associated with interference enzymatic detoxification arthropods. However, no data exist on range content activity, which necessary to establish reliable dose-activity parameters for a ...

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to determine the composition and evaluate in vitro vivo effects essential oils (Lippia sidoides Cham., Ocimum gratissimum L., Cymbopogon citratus Stapf., selloi Benth., Citrus sinensis micranthum Willd., sp., Piper aduncum L.) on control Fusarium rot melon fruits, caused by fungus pallidoroseum. were obtained hydrodistillation their chemical determined GC...

The study was carried out from October 2013 to September 2014 in both organised and small sheep and goat farms of coastal areas viz. Cuddalore, Nagapattinam of Tamil Nadu, India. The objective of the present study is to determine the prevalence and seasonal variation of gastrointestinal parasites in small ruminants. A total of 1356 faecal samples (63 from goat and 50 from sheep per month) were ...

A gram-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming actinobacterial strain, designated strain TL1(T), was isolated from pig manure in Wuhan, China. The cell wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H(4)). The major fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C(16 : ...
