Mice that carry the lethal yellow (Ay) or viable yellow (Avy) mutation, two dominant mutations of the agouti (a) gene in mouse chromosome 2, exhibit a phenotype that includes yellow fur, marked obesity, a form of type II diabetes associated with insulin resistance, and an increased susceptibility to tumor development. Molecular analyses of these and several other dominant "obese yellow" a-locus...

The influence of a permitted yellow food colour, Sunset yellow –FCF on root tips of Allium sativum was investigated with a view to ascertaining its mitodepressive effect. Root tips of Allium sativum were treated with five concentrations of Sunset yellow like 100 ppm,250 ppm,500 ppm,750 ppm and 1000 ppm and with distilled water as control. The time of action of the respective concentration of so...

Yellow discoloration of the skin may be caused by several etiologies, including jaundice, hypervitaminosis, drug reaction or chemical exposure. Herein we describe a 68-year-old woman with a history of breast and thyroid carcinoma, presenting with a yellow discoloration of her soles, after ingestion of one capsule a day of turmeric root extract (Bluebonnet Turmeric Root, 500 mg, Vcap), taken for...

In congenital color blindness the red-green discrimination is impaired resulting in an increased confusion between those colors with yellow. Our post-receptoral physiological mechanisms are organized in two pathways for color perception, a red-green (protanopic and deuteranopic) and a blue-yellow (tritanopic). We argue that the discrimination losses in the yellow area in congenital color vision...

We report a case of a 67-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis with yellow nail syndrome (YNS) that was caused by bucillamine. All three signs (yellow fingernails, lymphatic edema, and bronchiectasis) of YNS manifested, with characteristic timing, first with the nails turning yellow after when bronchiectasis was noticed. We reviewed 10 case reports from Japan and compared the periods until t...

Eight African marigold varieties (`Nari `(orange), `Bindi`(orange), `Bali` (orange), `Little Duck `(orange), `Bali` (yellow), `Bali` (gold), `Little Duck` (yellow) and `Eagle` (yellow) were comparatively studies for growth habit and flowering quality in open field condition at Training Centre for Floriculture and Landscaping, Directorate of Floriculture, Lahore during 2018-2019. Among the varie...

The Taguchi method was applied as an experimental design to determine optimum conditions for colour removal from azo dyes solutions containing remazol yellow G by electrocoagulation (EC) using iron and steel electrodes as anode and cathode, respectively. An orthogonal array (OA9) experimental design that allows to investigation the simultaneous variations of four parameters (initial remazol ye...

SUMMARY : Yellow-brown bodies were observed in the sinusoids of lymph nodes and histiocytes. The authors confirmed immunohistochemical reactivity of alpha-1-antichymotrypsin, lysozyme, and alkaline phosphatase in non-phagocytic histiocytes, and phagocytic histiocytes which contained yellow-brown bodies. Histio-cytes with yellow-brown bodies were not reacted to alpha-1-antichymotrypsin, lysozyme...

On February 26, 2015, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted that a single primary dose of yellow fever vaccine provides long-lasting protection and is adequate for most travelers. ACIP also approved recommendations for at-risk laboratory personnel and certain travelers to receive additional doses of yellow fever vaccine (Box). The ACIP Japanese Encephalitis and Yellow Fe...
