Background and Aims: Alysicarpus glumaceus is a plant used in Africa, Asia some parts of the Arabian Peninsula with folkloric claims having anti-tussive, anti-asthmatic, anti-diarrheal, abortifacient, anti-psychotic, anti-inflammatory, diuretic stimulatory activities. The aim this study was to determine phytoconstituents present methanol extract (ME) its fractions. Methods: Standard qualitative...

The potential use of different hydrophobic substrates (oleic acid, oleyl alcohol, methyl oleate and rapeseed oil) for the production high concentrations 9-octadecenedioic acid by genetically engineered C. tropicalis ATCC-20962 yeast was researched. For comparison purposes, data growth, intracellular triacylglyceride (TAG) accumulation dicarboxylic (DCA) were obtained mathematical description us...

Oncogenic herpesviruses, like many other viruses, can be concentrated effectively from large volumes of culture fluids by precipitation with methanol with good recovery of infectivity.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS INVESTIGATION was to determine whether methanol poisoning produces changes in the electroretinogram which follow a consistent pattern and are of diagnostic significance. The electroretinogram (ERG) is a graphic tracing of a mass response from the retina upon stimulation by light. The electroretinogram is of value in studying diseases of the retina and can be used as an objec...

Microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs in 10-20% of the sporadic colon carcinomas and appears to be primarily due to alterations in hMLH1 and hMSH2. Little is known about the role of diet in MSI-related colon carcinogenesis. We used data from a Dutch population-based case-control study on sporadic colon carcinomas (184 cases and 259 controls) to evaluate associations between dietary factors pr...
