OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of supplementation with an association of small physiological amounts of antioxidant nutrients upon biochemical parameters and indicators of oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes. DESIGN: The study included a double-blind placebo-controlled design. SUBJECTS: 575 elderly long term hospitalized subjects aged 65-103 years. INTERVENTION: Four groups were compared....

the gulf of mannar, located between india and sri lanka, is a shallow embayment of the bay of bengal. the gulf, which has been declared a bio-reserve is a highly productive area endowed with rich marine fauna including corals. in order to study the origin and nature of the sediments and paleo-environment, 2.6 m length core was collected with 5cm interval at 1320m water depths. textural studies ...

background: a powerful and improved technique, proton induced x-ray emission (pixe) has been performed-yielding the elemental composition of 17 samples of surgically excised malignant and normal tumors of breast tissue. the samples without any further process as thick targets were put on capton foil backing. there are no homogenizing processes. the pixe spectra analysis was performed using he n...

postpartum depression (ppd) is a major depressive disorder that most often emerges within 6 to 12 weeks of delivery, but can happen any time up to 1 year after birth. in developed countries, the incidence of postnatal depression is about 10-15% in adult women depending upon the diagnostic criteria, timing of screening and screening instruments used. mothers with depressive symptoms have been fo...

The bioaccumulation of trace elements in aquatic organisms can be described with a kinetic model that includes linear expressions for uptake and elimination from dissolved and dietary sources. Within this model, trace element trophic transfer is described by four parameters: the weight-specific ingestion rate (IR); the assimilation efficiency (AE); the physiological loss rate constant (ke); and...
