serum erythropoietin (epo) concentration was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) in 31 cases of chronic renal failure (crf), including 20 hemodialysis (hd) patients, and compared with that of 31 healthy normal controls. each patient served as a self-control comparing his or her pretreatment level with post-treatment values. there was a significant negative correlation betwe...

saturated fat consumption increases the risk of both coronary and cancer diseases. therefore, fat reduction in uf-feta cheese (≈ 45% fdm) is favorable but, unfortunately, it has some negative effects on the texture and sensory characteristics of the cheese. in this research, response surface methodology was employed to study the probably improving effects of wpc80 (0-20 gr kg-1), lecithin (0-2 ...

background: the interaction between serum neuron-specific enolase (nse), biogenic amino-acids and neurobehavioral function with blood lead levels in workers exposed to lead form lead-acid battery manufacturing process was not studied. objective: to evaluate serum nse and biogenic amino-acids (dopamine and serotonin) levels, and neurobehavioral performance among workers exposed to lead from lead...

Abstract In a behavioral experiment, rats reliably acquired a taste aversion to non-preferred 0.01 M HCl that had been previously paired with intraperitoneal injection of 0.15 M LiCl. These rats showed aversions to other acidic solutions such as malic acid and tartaric acid. In a neurophysiological experiment, the neuronal activities of the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) were recorded after the acq...
