Literature on condomavailability inmiddle schools is sparse, because most publications focus on high schools and colleges. However, the age of pubertal onset has continually decreased during the past several decades because of improvements in nutrition and overall health (Rosen, 2004).

The presence of copper in cow’s milk has been reported by several investigators (l-5). The most extensive investigation was that of Supplee and Bellis (2) who determined the copper content of freshly drawn milk of a large number of cows fed on different rations. They found that the copper content per liter varied from 0.2 to 0.8 mg., with no apparent correlation between copper content and ratio...

Purpose: To determine the phenolic composition and antiproliferative activity of 16 different extracts (hexane, dichloromethane, methanol and water) obtained from Bellis perennis, Convolvulus galaticus, Trifolium pannonicum and Lysimachia vulgaris on human breast cancer (MCF-7) and human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2/C3A) cell lines. Methods: The aerial parts of the plants were successively e...

The plant UDP-dependent glucosyltransferase (UGT) BpUGT94B1 catalyzes the synthesis of a glucuronosylated cyanidin-derived flavonoid in red daisy (Bellis perennis). The functional properties of BpUGT94B1 were investigated using protein modeling, site-directed mutagenesis, and analysis of the substrate specificity of isolated wild-type and mutated forms of BpUGT94B1. A single unique arginine res...
