Objective(s): Alcohol consumption induces oxidative stress on bone, which in turn increases the risk of osteoporosis. This study determined the effects of vitamin E on bone strength and bone mineral content in alcohol-induced osteoporotic rats. Materials and Methods: Three months old Sprague Dawley male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: (I) control group; (II) alcohol (3 g/kg) + normal ...

a classical theory is developed which calculates the momentum transfer rate constant between an ion and a non-polar molecule. the model takes into consideration the effect of diffraction outside the capture limit on the rate constants. the theory is used to calculate momentum transfer rate constant for cl- with trans-dichloroethylene and para-difluorobenzene. theoretical results are compared to...

alcohol, with its impact on both communicable and non-communicable diseases, is considered as the third global public health priority. alcohol ranked third among causes of ill health and premature death, and ranked second in terms of cost among all the substances of abuse, after tobacco, even though nearly half the world's population drinks alcohol. in most countries, where alcohol is considere...

In this study, the fatty acid compositions, lipid-soluble vitamins, sterols, flavonoids, and phenolic levels, as well DPPH radical scavenging activity of five different Dicranum species (D. majus, D. fuscencens, polysetum, scoparium tauricum) were examined. While acids evaluated by HPLC, compositions assessed gas chromatography. Based on study findings, it was determined that examined exhibit l...

The harmful use of alcohol causes an estimated 2.5 million deaths every year, of which a significant proportion occur in the young. Alcohol use is the third leading risk factor for poor health globally. In response to harmful use of alcohol, World Health Organization developed a global strategy to reduce the harmful use of alcohol endorsed by the Sixty-third World Health Assembly in 2010. Paral...

The harmful use of alcohol inflicts great deal of social and economic losses on individuals and societies. Given the increase in world population and the predicted increase in alcohol consumption, the alcohol related burden of disease progressively catches higher ranks in the list of factors threatening humans' life. It has been considered that the social and economic burden related to alcohol ...

an efficient method is described for the mild and rapid tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols using a catalytic amount of n-chlorosaccharin (1 mol %) and 3, 4-dihydro-2h-pyran under solvent-free condition at room temperature. benzylic alcohols and phenols containing electron withdrawing or donating groups in various positions of phenyl ring, cinamyl alcohol, primary, secondary, tertiar...

background: high prevalence of risky behaviors in alcohol dependents have been shown in several studies, but correlation between alcohol abuse and risky behaviors and relapse in patients with opiate dependence has been less investigated. this study aimed to determine the effect of alcohol abuse in rate of risk-taking behaviors in opiate dependents patients treated on maintenance program in nort...
