Background: Development of safe radioprotector is a challenging task. In this study radioprotective effect of sucrose has been demonstrated in calf thymus DNA (CtDNA). Sucrose is a free radical scavenger and also acts as osmolyte and therefore can influence the water activity around DNA and effects of radiation on DNA. Hoechst 33258 was used to probe the possible alteration in physicochemical p...

Majchrowicz and Hunt1* have reported that sodium acetate has an inhibitory effect on the rapid increase of blood ethanol concentration following oral administration of ethanol. Mochizuki et al.2'3) have reported that acetic acid and vinegar also have this effect. It is considered that many dietary factors have effects on the blood glucose concentration after a meal,4>5) so we examined the effec...

The microscopic QCD mechanism of diffractive DIS (DDIS) is a grazing, quasielastic scattering of multiparton Fock states of the photon on the target proton, which is best described viewing these Fock states as systems of color dipoles spanned between quarks, antiquarks and gluons [1, 2, 3]. In inclusive DIS, the effect of gluons in the photon is reabsorbed into the Bjorken x dependence of the c...

in order to examine the effects of essential oils and silver nanoparticles as anantimicrobial preservative in the solutions of alstroemeri cv. sukari cut flowers, anexperiment was conducted with 11 treatments and 3 replications in a completelyrandomized design. in this study, we used essences of carvacrol, thymol and zataria oilwithconcentrations of 50 and 100 mg l-1 and silver nanoparticles wi...

Contaminants can affect organisms' behaviour and, as a consequence, survival. Tau-fluvalinate (hereafter fluvalinate) is the active ingredient in a pesticide commonly used in North America to control Varroa destructor mites in honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies. Fluvalinate's effects on honey bees are not well known. Honey bee cognitive and neural function can be assessed using the proboscis e...

Esters of phthalic acid are extensively used as industrial solvents and plasticizers in the manufacture of a wide variety of plastics, including food-packaging materials. When administered orally to the rat, the metabolites in urine of a number of phthalate diesters appear as derivatives of the corresponding monoesters (Albro et al. 1973; Albro & Moore, 1974). Further, the most commonly used ph...

Introduction: The weight-loss drugs can induce depression. Orlistat is one of the common drugs, but preclinical studies about its effect on mood have not been performed. aim this study was evaluating orlistat alone and following inducing stress mice depressive behavior.
 Methods: In fundamental-applied study, male white (27±2 g), in six groups having 7 animals were used. administered orall...

Background: Tempeh is a fermented soybean containing isoflavones that shows good benefits again obesity. Co-fermentation of tempeh using Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG could increase the bioavailability isoflavones.Objective: This study aimed to determine effect co-fermented (tLGG) on body weight (B.W.), Lee Index, high sensitivity C Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), and lipid profile obese rats. Total fl...

Feeding behaviour is a complex functional system that relies on external signals and the physiological state of the animal. This is also the case in ants as they vary their feeding behaviour according to food characteristics, environmental conditions and - as they are social insects - to the colony's requirements. The biogenic amine serotonin (5-HT) was shown to be involved in the control and m...
