The acute effects of a single intravenous dose of iasparaginase on protein synthesis were studied in normal rabbits and in animals that had received turpentine to stimulate fibrinogen production. Male New Zealand rabbits received 1-asparaginase (500 U/kg) 16 hr before the injection of the radiolabeled amino acid [75Sejselenomethionine (75SeM). Incorporation of 75SeM into fibrinogen and serum pr...

BACKGROUND α-Pinene is an important natural product that is widely used in flavorings, fragrances, medicines, fine chemicals and high-density renewable fuels. Currently, α-Pinene used in industry is mainly produced either by tapping trees (gum turpentine) or as a byproduct of paper pulping (crude sulfate turpentine, CST). However, the extraction of it from trees is tedious and inefficient and r...

Though termites help in soil fertility they cause huge loss to plants and housing. Panchagavya, a bio pesticide is widely used agriculture as an insecticide but there were no termiticidal studies on the preparation. In present work, Panchagavya novel natural product prepared investigated against termite infested Jamun Neem tree stems. When 10ml of was sprayed these affected trees died within 3-...

The production methods at the Gum Rosin and Turpentine XYZ Factory involve several types of machinery chemicals that might result in workplace accidents. Although most recent Job Safety Analysis (JSA) was completed 2018, various changes work responsibilities have resulted complaints from melting station workers case eye irritation caused by turpentine vapor exposure PGT waste as having possibil...

This study investigated the roles of endotoxemia and heat-induced tissue damage in the pathology of heat stroke. In groups of eight, male Wistar rats were treated with heat exposure only (HE), or heat exposure with turpentine (T+HE), dexamethasone (D+HE), and turpentine and dexamethasone combined (TD+HE). The rats remained sedated for 2 h after receiving the respective treatments, followed by h...

In previous experiments by Berenblum and Shubik (4), tumors were induced in mice by a single application of a carcinogenic hydrocar bon, followed by repeated applications of noncarcinogenic croton oil. Friedewald and Rous (7) similarly showed that tumors may be induced in the rabbit by a suboptimal dose of carcinogen fol lowed by wound healing and applications of non specific agents, such as tu...
