Nitric oxide and reproduction.
In the last decade, nitric oxide (NO) has assumed an important functional role in a variety of physiological systems and different pathways, therefore it is indisputable that such a polyvalent molecule should also play a decisive role in the reproductive system. NO is derived from L-arginine by the action of NO synthase (NOS), an enzyme existing in three isoforms. One of constitutive (cNOS) typ...
متن کاملToxic alveolitis after inhalation of a water repellent.
Inhalation of fluorocarbon polymers can cause pulmonary toxicity. Although multiple cases of lung injury have been reported, cellular characterization of the associated alveolitis occurring acutely after inhalation is limited. We report the case of a previously healthy woman who presented at our Emergency Department with an acute pneumonitis following inhalation of a fluorocarbon polymer-based ...

متن کاملLarvicidal and repellent potential of Moringa oleifera against malarial vector, Anopheles stephensi Liston (Insecta: Diptera: Culicidae).
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the larvicidal and pupicidal potential of the methanolic extracts from Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) plant seeds against malarial vector Anopheles stephensi (A. stephensi) mosquitoes at different concentrations (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 ppm). METHODS M. oleifera was collected from the area of around Bharathiar University, Coimbatore. The dried plant materials were powdere...
متن کاملGarlic as a tick repellent.
In their Research Letter, Ms Stjernberg and Dr Berglund1 documented a repellent effect of garlic against an unnamed species of tick and stated that daily consumption of 1200 mg of garlic was an alternative to “other agents that might have more adverse effects.” Based on the design of their study, any conclusions concerning the relative effectiveness and safety of garlic as a tick repellent are ...
