This study examined the effects of a protein rich diet on coping neurotransmitter levels in orally administered ampicillin-induced neurotoxic rats compared with propionic acid (PA) models of autism. 40 young male western albino rats were divided into four groups. The first group served as control and received phosphate buffered saline orally; the second group serving as autistic model was treat...

This paper covers one of the building blocks required to complete a mechanistic CO2 / H2S corrosion model: electrochemistry of carbon steel CO2 corrosion in the presence of traces of H2S (3-250 ppm in the gas phase). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and linear polarisation resistance were used to investigate the mechanism of CO2/H2S corrosion in a glass cell at room temperature, at atmosp...

To assess the effects of chronic administration of tamoxifen (TAM) and toremifene (TOR) on genetic damage related to carcinogenesis, we measured DNA adduct formation by (32)P-postlabeling in liver, kidney, and uterus of Fischer rats given TAM or TOR in the diet for 18 months. TAM induced high levels of DNA adducts in the liver in a dose-dependent manner. The total adduct levels were 3000 +/- 87...

Adathoda vasica is a medicinal plant beneficial for the treatment of asthma, cough, haemorragic disorders, hepatitis and fevers. The leaves of the plant contain a mixture of alkaloid i.e., vasicine and vasicinone. Vasicine has numerous pharmacological activities viz., anti-malarial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-bacterial etc. The study on influence of IBA and NAA on rootin...

Plants that contain anthracene-derived compounds such as anthraquinones have been reported to act as anticancer besides their use for millennia to treat constipation, but the mechanism of action is still unfolding. Therefore we pursue this study to explore a new horizon in the anticancer property of these agents with relevance to mitotic arrest. To achieve this goal, the antimitotic activity of...

Background: Vulvovaginitis is a common infection in prepubertal girls, which partly caused by bacterial infection. According to the literature, Haemophilus influenzae one of most causes vulvovaginitis children. However, few studies with large sample sizes have delved into this issue. Objectives: To determine prevalence girls and detect antimicrobial resistance H. strains isolated from vulval sp...

Epidemiologic and animal studies suggest that a high-fat diet containing mixed lipids promotes colorectal cancer, whereas fish oil lacks promoting effect. Although cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors are effective chemopreventive agents against colon carcinogenesis, administration of high doses of these agents over time may induce side effects. Here, we compared the efficacy of moderately high ...

Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to ethylbenzene (EB; 0, 250, or 1000 ppm) and methylethylketone (MEK; 0, 1000, or 3000 ppm), alone and in combination, by inhalation, for 6h/day, during days 6-20 of gestation. Maternal toxicity, evidenced by decreased in body weight gain and food consumption, tended to be greater after simultaneous exposures to the high concentrations of 1000 ppm EB an...
