Oxidative stress plays a major part in the pathogenesis of drug-induced liver injury. Yet, overcoming it with other xenobiotics impose additional risks. In this study, we consider the use of natural-occurring and purified Vitamin E analogs as hepatoprotective agents. Vitamin E is well-known for its intrinsic antioxidant property even though the differential effect of specific analogs of tocophe...

A pot experiment in wire house was conducted to investigate the effect of potassium fertilization on physiology, growth and nutrient uptake of maize. Surface soil s...

BACKGROUND Regular usage of denture cleansers is recommended in complete denture wearers for effective plaque control, and these cleansers alter the physical properties of acrylic resin over a period of time. Thus, an in vitro study was carried out to assess the effect of denture cleansers on the color stability of heat-cure denture base resin. AIM The aim of the present study was to evaluate...

Saturable, high-affinity binding sites for 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) were identified in isolated nuclei and solubilized chromatin extracts of mammary glands, spontaneous mammary tumors, and liver from C3H/HeN mice. Receptor concentration in whole mammary gland nuclei (254 fmol/mg DNA) was only about one-half that of mouse liver nuclei (536 fmol/mg DNA), but in molecular weight (55,000) an...

Thyrotoxicosis is a clinical syndrome due to excessive amounts of thyroid hormone in the circulation and tissues. Graves' disease, goitre and exophthalmos, is the commonest variety, but in some parts of the world thyrotoxicosis supervenes on the background of a long standing nodular goitre. Other varieties such as ectopic TSH syndromes are very rare. The diagnostic sequence in practice starts w...

We studied the dependence of the free thyroxin (T4) index and the ratio of T4 to thyroxin-binding globulin (TBG) on TBG concentrations, using sera from cases of congenital TBG deficiency and congenital TBG excess. Two such sera with similar concentrations of albumin, transthyretin, and free T4 were mixed to provide test samples with TBG concentrations covering the range of clinical interest wit...

Particleboard and solid wood stakes were treated with either an isocyanate or phenol formaldehyde resin and exposed in soil beds comprising three different soil types and two moisture contents. The treatments resulted in a marked improvement in the dimensional stability of particleboard but had no effect on solid wood. Higher moisture uptakes in stakes exposed in sandy soils indicated that the ...

MOCHIZUKKI, K. Carbonic Anhydrase Quantity of Red Blood Cells in Morbus Basedowii. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1972, 108 (4), 401-409 Stroma-free hemoly sate in 53 cases of morbus basedowii was examined by starch-gel electrophoresis. Hemoglobin A1, A2 and carbonic anhydrase B (CA-B) were separated, and stained with bromphenol blue. CA-B quantity was densitometrically measured, and expressed as per cen...
