The current study was aimed at isolating and identifying the halophilic and halotolerant bacteria which can produce mercuric reductase in Gavkhuni wetland in Iran. Moreover, tracking and sequencing merA gene and kinetic properties of mercuric reductase in the selected strain were performed in this study. Soil samples were taken from Gavkhuni wetland and cultured in nutrient agar medium...

Winter climate change has great potential to affect the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. In particular, increased soil frost associated with reduced insulating snow cover may impact nitrogen (N) dynamics in cold ecosystems, but little is known about variability these effects among aggregates. A manipulation experiment was conducted investigate absence on N cycling within aggregates a spru...

Trazpiroben (TAK-906), a peripherally selective dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonist, is being developed for the treatment of patients with gastroparesis. The potential trazpiroben to act as perpetrator or victim cytochrome P450 (CYP)- transporter- mediated drug–drug interactions (DDIs) was evaluated following latest regulatory guidelines.In vitro studies revealed that metabolised mainly through ...

In forest ecosystems, variations in aboveground litter input caused by global changes, substantially alter soil N cycling. field-grown plants, few studies have directly measured root exudation rates and quantified their effects on transformations under manipulation. We transformation rate responses to manipulation a Pinus massoniana plantation, unravelled the effect of transformations. situ P. ...

Erythrocyte NADH-cytochrome b(5) reductase reduces methaemoglobin to functional haemoglobin. In order to examine the function of the enzyme, the structure of NADH-cytochrome b(5) reductase from human erythrocytes has been determined and refined by X-ray crystallography. At 1.75 A resolution, the root-mean-square deviations (r.m.s.d.) from standard bond lengths and angles are 0.006 A and 1.03 de...

Abstract This review aimed to assess the antioxidant properties of safrole, myristicin, and terpineol from Myristica fragrans Houtt. Safrole exhibited high cytotoxic activities against numerous cancer cell lines also shown able suppress tumor angiogenesis. Myristicin is increase activity glutathione peroxidase (GPX), reductase (GR) or glutathione-disulfide-reductase (GSR), superoxide dismutase ...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic training and consumption of L-carnitine supplements on HMG-CoA reductase and low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) in the liver of male Wistar rats toxicated by boldenone. Materials and methods: In this clinical study, 30 male Wistar rats aged 12 weeks (weight 195±7.94g) were randomly divided into five groups: cont...

Background & Aim: Different species from mint family (Lamiaceae) are used as spices and fragrance in food or as medicine against viral or microbial diseases in many countries for generation. Lamiaceae family contains 46 genus and 410 species. One of the valuable and medicinal species of this family is Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam. This species contains the essential o...

Background: Nitrogen is the most important nutrient requirement for plants. Nitrogen supplying affected the leaf area, carbon fixation, glandular trichomes formation, ATP and NADPH content which resulted to the terpenoids biosynthesis enhancement and essential oils accumulation. Objective: This study was aimed to evaluate changes of essential oil content and components by use different levels ...

Background: Hydatidosis is a common disease of both humans and animals, resulting from infection with the larvae Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm. The aim this study was to investigate antiparasitic (protoscolicidal) activities three essential oils in vitro. Methods: This designed evaluate biochemical composition vitro effects Zataria multiflora, Origanum vulgare Mentha pulegium oils. Gas chrom...
