Crystal violet exhibited characteristics of an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, i.e. it released respiratory control, hindered ATP synthesis, enhanced ATPase activity, and produced swelling of isolated rat liver mitochondria. Maximal stimulation of respiration, ATPase activity, and swelling was observed at a concentration of 40 microM. The inhibition of State 3 respiration by oligomycin ...

In a previous communication 1 a selective bactericidal p roper ty possessed by gentian violet was described, and observations were reported to indicate the nature of this chemical affinity as exhibited in a study of a large number of representative bacteria. It was shown that bacteria could be sharply divided into two groups by their behavior toward gentian violet, either by staining the organi...

background there is limited knowledge about the use of cigarettes by blacks outside the united states (u.s). nigeria creates an opportunity to explore smoking behaviours, smoking cessation (nicotine dependence) and use of cigarettes in a country that has a large black population outside the u.s.   methods we conducted three focus group discussions (fgds) involving twenty-four male migrant worke...

BACKGROUND Viola odorata L. belongs to Violaceae family and is native to Iran. It is used in the form of Almond-Violet oil in traditional Persian medicine (TPM) since ancient times. Almond-Violet oil was used for the treatment of insomnia, headache, cough, and fever based on TPM textbooks. There are two methods for the preparation of Almond-Violet oil. The first is macerating voila flowers in s...

In this research, a response surface methodology (RSM) was used to investigate the effects of independent parameters (pH, contact time, temperature, adsorbent dosage, and initial concentration of pollutant), their simultaneous interactions, and quadratic effects on crystal violet adsorption onto two starch based materials in the form of batch experiments. The characterizing results indicated th...

Article history: Received 16 January 2017 Accepted 16 January 2017 Available online 19 January 2017 hypothesis. We are currently doing a clinical trial Minami Aoyama Eye Clinic in Tokyo, Japan using a violet light-emitting desktop light and violet light-transmitting eyeglasses (Clinical trial number: UMIN000021897). Also, a randomized clinical trial is underway on violet light transmitting eyeg...
