As part of our search for natural antioxidants, this work presents an evaluation of antioxidant activities of methanolic extract of Oxalis corniculata and its sub-fractions in hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water. The total phenolic contents in terms of µg of gallic acid equivalents per mg of dried mass were approximately 21.0, 28.2, 34.5, 162.0, 70.0, and 49.2 in methanolic, ...

Result The samples included 36 male (45%) and 44 female (55%) adolescents obesity with mean of ages 16 years 4 months. Mean of body mass index was 32,02(SD 3,47). The dyslipidemia; hypercholesterolemia, increased LDL, increased of triglyceride and decreased of HDL (40%, 41,3%, 25% and 43,8% respectively). The triglyceride level increased with increasing BMI (p = 0,008 and R = 0,294), but there ...

Islet amyloid deposition in type 2 diabetes is associated with reduced beta-cell mass. Therefore, interventions aimed at reducing islet amyloid formation may help preserve beta-cell mass in type 2 diabetes. Rosiglitazone and metformin act by different mechanisms to improve insulin sensitivity and thereby reduce beta-cell secretory demand, resulting in decreased release of insulin and islet amyl...

We review some approaches to the quark-lepton mass problem. The ideas of mass-protection and approximate chiral flavour symmetries as a framework for resolving the mass hierarchy problem are presented. Dy-namical calculations of the top quark and Higgs particle masses, based on infra-red fixed points and the so-called multiple point principle respectively, are discussed. We also consider mass m...

the influence of the herbivorous snail (physa sp.) on the algal periphyton community from thegamasiyab river, kermanshah province in western iran was examined by establishing a gradient of physa sp.density in artificial streams. the impact of physa grazing was evaluated by measuring dry mass, ash-free drymass (afdm) and chlorophyll a in the periphyton community. snails significantly depressed p...

physical properties are often required for designing post harvest handling and processing equipment for agricultural products. persimmon (khormandy cultivar) is rich in vitamin a, calcium, potassium, tannic acid and antioxidant phenolic compounds. in this study changes in the physical properties of persimmon fruit during storage were studied. properties such as fruit dimensions, mass, geometric...
