4-Nerolidylcatechol (4-NC) is found in Pothomorphe umbellata root extracts and is reported to have a topical protective effect against UVB radiation-induced skin damage, toxicity in melanoma cell lines, and antimalarial activity. We report a comparative study of the antioxidant activity of 4-NC and α-tocopherol against lipid peroxidation initiated by two free radical-generating systems: 2,2'-az...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the bioavailability for young pigs of Fe from ferric choline citrate or from a commercial mixture of Fe, Cu and Co choline citrate salts. Relative biological value of Fe from either source with a standard of 100 for FeSO4 x 7H20 was about 140 by both hemoglobin regeneration and Fe retention methods.

Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) were co-pyrolyzed with iron oxides and salts. Solid, liquid, gaseous products collected characterized. Co-pyrolysis FeCl2, FeCl3, or FeSO4 was able to increase the yield of liquid product which rich in phenol its homologues. Also, addition co-pyrolysis reagents reduced release brominated organics as Br either fixed FeBr3 solids released HBr. In particular, F...

This study evaluated the color fastness and crust quality of eco-printed leather using various types mordant in natural dye mangrove extract. used 20 sheepskin crusts bark experimental employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with different as treatments. The were Aluminum Sulfate (Al2(SO4)3), Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3), Citric Acid (C6H8O7), Ferrous (FeSO4). results showed that use (FeSO4)...

OBJECTIVE Combating iron deficiency in toddlers with iron-fortified food has proved difficult in countries with phytate-rich diets. For this purpose, a new haem iron preparation was developed. The study compared changes in iron status after administration of refried beans with beans fortified with a haem iron preparation or ferrous sulphate (FeSO4). DESIGN In a masked, stratified-randomised i...

Eighty one pregnant women (20 +/- 2 weeks of gestation) were assessed for their nutritional status. They were divided into three groups; Group I women (n = 30) were given 200 mg ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) tablet per day for 15 weeks, Group II women (n = 25) were given FeSO4 tablets along with 2,000,000 IU of vitamin A as single dose in beginning of study; and Group III women (n = 26) were not giv...

A soil bacterium capable of degrading chitin on chitin agar plates was isolated and identified as Bacillus pumilus isolate U5 on the basis of 16S rDNA sequence analysis. In order to optimize culture conditions for chitinase production by this bacterium, a two step approach was employed. First, the effects of several medium components were studied using the Plackett-Burman design. Among various ...

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of each additive [FeSO4, multivitamin (MTV), and vitamin E] on the postprandial osmolality of expressed breast milk (EBM) at 0, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. Babies born at Songklanagarind Hospital from 1 August, 2005 to 31 December, 2006 were studied; EBM was collected from mothers with a child born at an estimated gestational age less than 32 wee...
