PURPOSE Research shows wide variation in macular pigment density between individuals. As are other ocular pigments, this variation may be genetic. To test this hypothesis, the authors measured macular pigment density, serum carotenoid concentrations, and general dietary patterns in 10 pairs of identical twins. METHODS Macular pigment was measured psychophysically by a 1 degree test stimulus. ...

Muscarinic receptors are the predominant cholinergic receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Recently, activation of muscarinic receptors was found to elicit pigment granule dispersion in retinal pigment epithelium isolated from bluegill fish. Pigment granule movement in retinal pigment epithelium is a light-adaptive mechanism in fish. In the present study, we used pharmacologi...

The current essay analyzes the anti-corrosion properties of epoxy primers including anti-corrosion pigment calcium hydrogen orthophosphate and hydrophobic nano silica with various percentages optimized by Taguchi experimental design. The impact of influential factors such as the percentage of anti-corrosion pigments, percentage of nano silica and pigment to binder ratio on anti-corrosion proper...

background the effect of pyocyanine pigment, which was isolated and purified from pseudomonas aeruginosa, on specific lymphocytes viability inside the body of white male balb/c mice against the experimental secondary hydatidosis and the infectivity of protoscolices was studied in comparison with negative control mice groups, phosphate buffered saline (pbs) and positive control group (immunofero...
