Adult male rats were given an oral dose of 10 mgkg aspartame “C-1abelled in the methanol carbon. At timed intervals of up to 6 hours, the radioactivity in plasma and several organs was investigated. Most of the radioactivity found (>98 % in plasma, >75 % in liver) was bound to protein. Label present in liver, plasma and kidney was in the range of l-2 % of total radioactivity administered per g ...

The postharvest life of cut Eustoma grandiflorum flowers is limited in open flowers. Therefore a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with ascorbic acid (AsA) at 4 levels (0, 100, 200, 300mg L-1) and citric acid (CA) at 3 levels (0, 100, 200 mg L-1) with 3 replications and 3 samples for each replications, was conducted for this purpose. Results indicated that a significa...

Turpun besin maddesi ihtiyacının karşılanması ve yüksek kalitede ürün alınmasında kükürt(S) önemli bir yer tutmaktadır.

DOI: 10.21276/sjams.2017.5.9.49 Abstract: Evolvulus alsinoides Linn. Is a medicinal plant that belongs to the family convolvulaceae. This study seeks to evaluate the effects of the aqueous extract of Evolvulus alsinoides Linn. on sperm parameters and the testis. A total of fifty (50) Wistar albino rats weighing 135-150g were used in this research. The rats were divided into five (I-V) Groups of...

Purpose: Cognitive deficit is one of the common comorbidity accompanying epilepsy. The present study evaluated the effect of Celastrus paniculatus (C- paniculatus) seed extract on seizure severity and cognitive deficit following Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) -induced chemical kindling model. Methods: PTZ kindling model was developed by daily administration of sub-convulsive dose of PTZ 30 mg/kg for...

Nephrotoxicity remains a common untoward effect of cisplatin therapy with limited effective chemopreventive options available till date. This study aims to evaluate the possible chemopreventive effect and mechanism(s) of action of 2 mgkg-1 and 5 mgkg-1 of Tadalafil in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxic rats. In this study, twenty-five male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups (n = 5 ra...

We report on a measurement of the angular spectrum of the CMB between l ≈ 100 and l ≈ 400 made at 144 GHz from Cerro Toco in the Chilean altiplano. When the new data are combined with previous data at 30 and 40 GHz, taken with the same instrument observing the same section of sky, we find: 1) a rise in the angular spectrum to a maximum with δTl ≈ 85 μK at l ≈ 200 and a fall at l > 300, thereby ...

An experiment was conducted to examine the effects on mortality, production performance, water intake (WI), and organ weight of Satureja khuzistanica essential oil (SkEO) using 720 1-day-old Arian broiler chicks in a 42-day trial. Experimental treatments were addition of 0 (control(-)), 200, 300, 400, and 500 mg/L SkEO or 500 mg/L polysorbate 80 (control(+)) into drinking water. The birds were ...

Effects of Hyoscyamus niger L on central nervous system have been known for many years. The effects of methanolic extract of H. niger L. on seizures induced by picrotoxin was studied in mice in this investigation. In this study 7 groups of animals pretreated with methanolic extract of the plant (12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 mg/kg/i.p.), 20 minutes prior to the picrotoxin (12 mg/kg/ i.p.)--i...
