This study was conducted to determine the effects of supplemented curcumin (CMN), derived from plant Curcuma longa, extract on performance and blood parameters of acetaminophen (ACT) induced quail hepatic injury. 240 quails from 0-37 days of age were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments of 4 replicates each and 15 chickens per replicate. All groups received 750 mg/kg body we...

T helper 17 (Th17) cells are strong inducers of numerous autoimmune diseases and inflammation. However, the role of Th17 cells and interleukin (IL)‑17 in traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) are yet to be elucidated. In the present study, a rat model of TON was established using a fluid percussion brain injury device. Th17 cells were found to be upregulated in the spleens of rats in the TON group. ...

Phosphine is shown to catalyse the reaction of CO2 with 9-BBN to give mixtures of HCO2(B(C8H14)) 3, H2C(OB(C8H14))24 and MeOB(C8H14) 5; at 0.02 mol% of tBu3P 5 is obtained in 98% yield at 60 °C with TON of almost 5500 and a TOF of 170. Under stoichiometric conditions the species (R3PCH2O)(HC(O)O)B(C8H14) (R = tBu 1,4-MeC6H42) were isolated and characterized.

We present new results of Cassini’s T9 flyby with complementary observations from T18. Based on Cassini plasma spectrometer (CAPS) and Cassini magnetometer (MAG), compositional evidence shows the upstream flow for both T9 and T18 appears composed of light ions (H and H2 ), with external pressures 30 times lower than that for the earlier TA flyby where heavy ions dominated the magnetospheric pla...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE An adequate supply of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC PUFA) promotes foetal health and development, whereas generally, trans fatty acids (tFA) are considered to negatively interfere with LC PUFA metabolism. Nevertheless, to date, limited data concerning separate trans C18:1, such as t9 and t11, are available for maternal and foetal blood. Therefore, in this study...

We investigate the possibility of distinguishing standard model from composite models at an intermediate energy range (45 60 GeV). We show that effects due to multiple neutral weak bosons and their finite widths can be observable in e+e-+ p+pforward-backward asymmetry.

A well-characterized three-chain peptide [(Col1)2 X T9] from human type III collagen was a rich source of Ehrlich chromogen. The corresponding two-chain peptide [(Col1)2] was not, implying that the Ehrlich chromogen is a trifunctional cross-link. (Col1)2 X T9 also contained pyridinoline, which is not an Ehrlich chromogen. The 7S domain of type IV collagen also contained an Ehrlich chromogen.
