Oxidation of bioactive components is detrimental to some technological properties because they cause browning (enzymatic and non-enzymatic); a phenomenon commonly observed in the drying fruit products their by-products. To reduce this effect, three temperature levels (40, 55, 70 °C) were compared yellow dragon (Hylocereus megalanthus) peel. A tray dryer with an airflow rate 0.5 m/s was used. Dr...

D-[3H]LSD binds saturably, reversibly, and with a high affinity (KD = 10 nM) to rat brain membranes. The association and dissociation rates of binding are temperature dependent and fastest at 37 degrees C. Binding is enriched in crude microsomal (P3) membranes. D-[3H]LSD binding is stereospecific as L-LSD, the psychotropically inactive enatiomer, is 1000 times weaker than D-LSD as a displacing ...

BACKGROUND Classical and delayed preconditioning are powerful endogenous protection mechanisms against ischemia-reperfusion damage. However, it is still uncertain whether delayed preconditioning can effectively salvage myocardium in patients with co-morbidities, such as diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. We investigated delayed preconditioning in mice models of type II diabetes and the metabo...

BACKGROUND Tissue engineering represents very exciting advances in regenerative medicine; however, periodontal literature only contains few reports. Emdogain (EMD) consists of functional molecules that have shown many advantages in regenerative treatments. This study investigated EMD effect on gingival fibroblast adhesion to different membranes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two dense polytetrafluoro...

Methods Eight male (23.0 ± 3.70 years, 210.69 ± 36.17 lbs, 71.81 ± 3.10 in) and ten female (23.6 ± 4.81 years, 147.95 ± 12.63 lbs, 67.88 ± 4.06 in) apparently healthy, physically active individuals participated in this study. Participants reported to the lab on a 10-hour fast and performed baseline testing on resting energy expenditure (REE), heart rate, and blood pressure. Subjects were then r...

the main purpose of this study was to examine the effect of metamotivational states on self-efficacy perceptions and motor performance in dart throwing beginners in easy and difficult conditions. for this purpose, the paratelic dominance questionnaire (cook & gerkovich, 1993) was distributed among 140 male students, and 32 participants were randomly divided into two groups (16 in a telic group ...

aim and background: personality traits are among the factors affecting the tendency to substance abuse. personality evaluations have shown sensation seeking to be a particularly strong predictor of initial substance abuse across a variety of drug use categories. the aim of this study was to determine levels of sensation seeking in addicted and normal subjects while considering gender. methods a...
