The goal of this study was to elucidate the anti-convulsion mechanisms of ear-point stimulation in rat with experimental seizure. We prepared the epilepsy rats by intrahippocampal injection of penicillin. One hour later the lower 1/2 auricular lobules of seizure rats, containing ear-points Pizhixia and Shenmen etc., was electrically stimulated, which was imitated as ear-point electrical acupunc...

Some biochemical characteristics of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and silver carp (Hypophtalmichthys moltrix) surimi prepared by a conventional washing method and protein isolated using alkaline-acid-aided processes were investigated. Solubility of protein in silver carp and common carp were found to be highest by using the conventional washing method. Decreases in myoglobin and lipid contents ...

In this work, black and white Myrtus communis L. (myrtle) fruits some biochemical parameters were investigated such as vitamins, carotenes, functional peptides, oxidative stress markers (OSM), total phenolic (TP) flavonoid (TF) substances, antioxidant capacity (AC) amino acids contents. The myrtle had generally higher amounts of TP, AC acid (AA) contents than the fruits. dried in sun light micr...

The fruits of Cerasus humilis have a unique and pleasant aroma. In this study, the volatile compounds ripe 53 C. genotypes were extracted via headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) identified gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). total, 253 detected, among which esters terpenoids most dominant components. We also found that total volatiles contents varied significa...

Nickel and mercury are naturally occurring, highly toxic environmental pollutant. The goal of the present study was investigate the effects of nickel and mercury exposure on the biochemical contents of the muscles tissues of fish Lates calcarifer by using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. FT-IR spectra reveal significant differences in absorbance intensities between the control. ...

Industrial effluent containing heavy metals, on entering aquatic environment causes biochemical disturbances in the fish. The present study deals with the toxicity of Zinc as (ZnSO4), as a component of industrial waste and its effect on tissue glycogen and protein level at 24, 48, 72 & 96 hrs respectively .The estimated glycogen and protein concentration in the tissuesgills, liver, kidney, ovar...

To determine the biochemical integrity of refrigerated breast milk for 96 hours at 4C, a longitudinal observational study done with fresh milk samples. It is found that there were significant changes in pH, serum albumin and lactose concentrations in breast milk though within normal range.
