OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of Tofupill/Femarelle (DT56a), a novel phyto-selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), in preserving bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. DESIGN The study sample consisted of 98 healthy, postmenopausal women who were randomly allocated, on a double-blind basis, to receive either 644 mg/d DT56a (study group) or 344 mg/d DT56a supplemented w...

With the aim of understanding and identifying the traits which can be used as the suitable criteria for quick screening of the water deficit tolerant barley genotypes, an experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications was conducted during two years to evaluate the biochemical responses of 20 barley genotypes to full irrigation and terminal water stress in the fie...

qualitative and quantitative analyses of phyto- and zooplankton, and growth performance of cyprinus carpio linnaeus were done in earthen vats receiving compost, diammonium phosphate and vermicompost as direct application fertilizer were conducted. significant differences were observed in the diversity and abundance of plankton in response to fertilization. the highest production of fish was obt...
