the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of two aerobic training programs with different intensities on some cardiovascular risk factors in young girls. for this purpose, 42 girls (mean age 20.59±1.46 years, height 160.29±4.75 cm, weight 59.23±8.82 kg, bmi 22.08±3.41 kg/m2, %bf 15.42±3.85 and vo2max 25.34±3.96 ml/kg/min) were voluntarily participated in this study and divided ...

We investigated whether δ-opioid receptor (DOR)-induced neuroprotection involves the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) pathway. We studied the effect of DOR activation on the expression of BDNF and other proteins in the cortex of C57BL/6 mice exposed to hypoxia (10% of oxygen) for 1-10 days. The results showed that: (1) 1-day hypoxia had no appreciable effect on BDNF expression, while 3-...

A total of 539 pure-bred and seventy-five cats without a pedigree were weighed and scored at cat shows or in veterinary surgeries. Data from normal-weight cats with a body condition score (BCS) of 5 (ideal) were only used. Breeds were grouped into five classes. For female cats, the mean weight for these groups were as follows: very light (2.8 kg); light (3.2 kg); medium (3.5 kg); large (4.0 kg)...

This study conducted in Kerala, evaluated the role of conservation tillage (zero (ZT), minimum (MT), and conventional (CT)) with five treatment combination potassium (12 kg/ha, 20 40 kg/ha) magnesium sulphate (60 kg/ha 80 on total DMP, physiology grain yield test variety Anaswara (cowpea). In pot culture study, application K: MgSO4, 10:80 resulted highest chlorophyll content. While higher a con...

Pyrogallol (CAS No. 87-66-1), a benzenetriol used historically as a hair dye and currently in a number of industrial applications, was nominated to the National Toxicology Program (NTP) for testing based on the lack of toxicity and carcinogenicity data. Three-month and two-year toxicity studies to determine the toxicity and carcinogenicity of pyrogallol when applied to naïve skin (i.e. dermal a...

UNLABELLED Reduced physical activity and almost unlimited availability of food are major contributors to the development of obesity. With the decline of strenuous work, energy expenditure due to spontaneous physical activity has attracted increasing attention. Our aim was to assess changes in energy expenditure, physical activity patterns and nutritional habits in obese subjects aiming at self-...

Aflatoxins are toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites, produced by Aspergillus flavus parasiticus, which contaminate food feed threaten human animal health. To assess the prevalence of aflatoxins in Tanzania, 180 groundnut 200 maize samples were collected from 9 10 districts, respectively. Aflatoxin contamination was quantified using high performance liquid chromatography. detected all di...
