the effects of zinc and mercury on human erythrocyte acetylcholinestrase activity were studied. blood used in this study was obtained from 24 apparently healthy individuals and after hemolysation, was treted with 3 diferent concentrations of zinc and mercury. significant suppressions in acetylcholinestrase activity were recorded in treated samples by zinc and mercury. when compared to controls ...

Background: To study methaemoglobin content and NADH-methaemoglobin reductase activity of three human erythrocyte genotypes (HbAA, HbAS and HbSS).Materials and Methods: Studies to ascertain methaemoglobin concentration and level of NADH-methaemoglobin reductase activity of three human erythrocyte genotypes (HbAA, HbAS and HbSS) were carried out in forty-three (43) healthy male participants of c...

Background: We intend to study the inhibitory effect of sulfur compound in Ramsar hot spring mineral on tumor-genesis ability of high natural background radiation. Objective: The radioprotective effect of sulfur compounds was previously shown on radiation-induced chromosomal aberration, micronuclei in mouse bone marrow cells and human peripheral lymphocyte. Ramsar is known for having the highe...
