Benzaldehyde (Bz) is a typical fragrant compound for peach-flavored beverages. In the food and beverage industries there is great demand for a sensitive and easy detection system of Bz in order to ensure product quality control and to avoid contamination. For the noncompetitive detection of Bz, we applied an open-sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (OS-ELISA) utilizing an antigen-depende...

Although curcumin can increase the effectiveness of drugs against malaria, combination therapies using the molecule have never been investigated in Chagas disease (ChD). Therefore, we evaluated the efficacy of curcumin as a complementary strategy to benznidazole (Bz)-based chemotherapy in mice acutely infected with Trypanosoma cruzi Eighty-four 12-week-old Swiss mice were equally randomized int...

In response to stressful events, neonatal mice emit ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs), which are suppressed by BZ agonists. The present study examined the role of the benzodiazepine/alpha1 (BZ/alpha1) receptor subtype in the suppression engendered by the BZ/alpha1-preferring agonist zolpidem and the nonselective BZ agonists triazolam and diazepam. The role of BZ receptor subtypes was explored fur...

In this study, the effect of lactococcin BZ on microbiological quality of fresh beef is investigated. For this purpose, the meat samples were treated with various amounts of lactococcin BZ (200-2500 AU/mL), a bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus lactis spp. lactis BZ, and kept at 4-5 °C for 12 days. During storage, the microbiological properties of the meat samples with or without lactococcin BZ...

vascular diseases. Interest of many authors has been to isolate laboratory values associated with a high risk of the onset or worsening of clinical coronary artery disease. Afterwards, a possible link of these values with chronic infection carrier status was sought. Many conditions related with vascular pathology, such as hypercoagulability, presence of circulating immune complexes and oxidativ...

index (BMI, kg/m2) studies have been conducted in twins8, adoptees9, and family members10. The most convincing evidence that obesity is largely a genetic disease comes from studies of monozygotic twins reared apart. These studies are based on the assumption that when genetically identical individuals are separated at a young age and assigned randomly to different families, their shared environm...

BACKGROUND Bortezomib (Bz) is a proteasome inhibitor that directly targets antibody-producing plasma cells. We recently reported the first randomized control trial that evaluated the effects of Bz in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In that study, we demonstrated that Bz treatment is associated with many adverse reactions in patients with refractory disease. In the present stud...

Transient receptor potential (TRP) subfamily M member 5 (TRPM5) cation channel is involved in sensing sweet, bitter, umami, and fat taste stimuli, complex-tasting divalent salts, and temperature-induced changes in sweet taste. To investigate if the amiloride- and benzamil (Bz)-insensitive NaCl chorda tympani (CT) taste nerve response is also regulated in part by TRPM5, CT responses to 100 mM Na...

با توجه به خسارت بالای شب‌پره مینوز گوجه‌فرنگی در کشت‌های گوجه‌فرنگی، استفاده از سموم شیمیایی علیه این آفت حال افزایش می‌باشد و یافتن روش‌های قابل‌تلفیق کنترل شیمیایی، مدیریت بهینه مؤثر می‌باشد. یکی روش‌ها برقراری مقاومت القایی گیاه تیمار بذور قبل کشت باتوجه نقش کلیدی متیل جاسمونات ایجاد گیاهان، مطالعه حاضر رقم الیت 24 ساعت کاشت دو غلظت 1/0 2/0 میلی مولار خیسانده سپس انجام شد. مرحله گلدهی پارام...
