essential oils (eos) extracted from aerial parts of aster indamellus grierson, calamintha umbrosa benth. and erigeron annuus (l.) pres.were analyzed by gc, gc/ms. the major acetylenic constituent (cis-lachnophyllum ester) of e. annuus was isolated and characterized by 1h and 13c-nmr spectra. their toxicity and repellent effect against lipaphiserysimi was tested. oils of e. annuus and c. umbrosa...

The enzyme transglutaminase (TG) catalyses the formation of covalent bonds between adjacent proteins, thereby improving the gel structure of proteins and has important applications for the food industry. The aims of this work were: (i) to elucidate the effect of agitation speed during the biotechnological production of TG by Streptoverticillium ladakanum NRRL-3191 using glycerol as carbon sourc...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were shown to contribute to the cellular damage induced by ischemia-reperfusion. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the efficiency of melatonin and vitamin E in the reduction of injury induced by ROS in a rat model of renal ischemia-reperfusion. Twenty-four Wistar-albino rats were divided into four groups. Rats in the Sham group were given sal...

This present work aims at synthesizing sodium silicate solutions from selected industrial wastes (waste glass and rice husks) using hydrothermal method. The as-received waste glasses of different mix colors were initially washed, crushed wet milled for several hours then sieved through 75µm mesh. recycled oven dried 110oC 72 h to obtain a powdered (SLSG). Rice husks also washed remove dirt adhe...

Chronic Helicobacter pylori disease is reduced with Allium vegetable intake. This study was designed to assess the in vivo anti-H. pylori potential of a variety of garlic substances. The garlic materials all showed substantial but widely differing anti-H. pylori effects against all strains and isolates tested. The MICs (range, 8 to 32 microg/ml) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) (r...

In this study, we reported the effect of the essential oil of Ocimum gratissimum on Herpetomonas samuelpessoai, a nonpathogenic trypanosomatid. Parasites were grown at 28 or 37°C, in a chemically defined or a complex medium, containing essential oil obtained from Ocimum gratissimum. At concentrations from 20 to 250 μg/ml, the essential oil, progressively inhibited the protozoan growth. The IC50...

Objective: To investigate the effect of interferon β (IFN-β) on the cytoskeleton, cellular elasticity and the expressions of cytoskeleton and cellular elasticity associated protein in cultured astrocytes. Methods: The astrocytes were treated with IFN-β (102 and 103 U/mL) for 24, 48 and 72 h. The shape and elasticity of astrocytes were observed by atomic force microscope. The ultrastructural of ...
