Background & Aim:  Psyllium (Plantago psyllium L.) is a native plant that grows widely in India and Iran. Different cases of using psyllium gum for its suitable rheological properties in a wide range of food products exist in nature. Experimental: In this study, different fractions of psyllium gum were extracted by water and alkali treatments. Rheological properties of these fractions...

objective(s): this study was designed to indicate whether different fractions from artemisia biennis hydroethanolic extract could provide cytoprotection against oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by doxorubicin (dox) in rat pheochromocytoma cell line (pc12). material and methods:cell viability was determined by mtt assay. also, activation of caspase-3 and superoxide dismutase were evaluated...

There have been important changes in the United Kingdom’s (UK) fertility and immigration in the past decade, with a large share contributed by migrants from Poland. A detailed understanding of Polish migrant fertility is lacking, however, because the relevant data are not routinely collected. This paper provides new insights into the fertility patterns of Polish migrants in the UK, and compares...

in an attempt to develop alternative medicine for the treatment of diabetes and related complications, the antidiabetic potential of the fruits of c rataegus pinnatifida was evaluated. the antidiabetic potential of the methanol (meoh) extract as well as different solvent soluble fractions of the fruits of c . pinnatifida was evaluated via α-glucosidase, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1b (ptp1b), ...

In this work, we describe a simple, green and general procedure for the purification and fractionation of carbon dots (CDs). CDs coated with oxygen-containing functional groups were synthesized by thermal pyrolysis of citric acid. The product of the reaction was first Purified and then fractionated into two distinct kinds of CDs (f4 and f1) using pH-controlled cloud point extraction (CPE) techn...

the low bioavailability of zinc (zn) is in calcareous and saline soil, therefore the study of chemical forms and bioavailability of zn in these soils is necessary to estimate the potential availability. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and mycorrhizae fungi inoculation on the chemical forms of zn in a calcareous soil at different sal...
