Objective Iron overload in the body is related with toxic effects and threatens the health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective role of hydroalcoholic extract of ginger (Zingiber officinale) against ferrous sulfate-induced hepatic and renal functional disorders and histological damages in rats. Materials and Methods The rats were divided into four groups (n=7): Sham, Sham + G...

The bacterium MNU16 was isolated from contaminated soils of coal mine and subsequently screened for different plant growth promoting (PGP) activities. The isolate was further identified by 16S rRNA sequencing as Bacillus subtilis MNU16 with IAA concentration (56.95 ± 0.43 6μg/ml), siderophore unit (9.73 ± 2.05%), phosphate solubilization (285.13 ± 1.05 μg/ml) and ACC deaminase activity (116.79 ...

New plant growth regulators, named citrinolactones A (1), B (2) and C (3) and sclerotinin C (4), were isolated from Penicillium citrinum and their structures established by spectroscopic methods including 2D NMR. Compounds 1 and 4 increased root growth in proportion to their concentration from 3 to 300 mg/l. In contrast, 2 completely inhibited root growth at a concentration of 300 mg/l and 3 di...

Introduction. Gallic acid is a biologically active natural compound with strong antioxidant properties. highly soluble and stable. It known to increase the thermal stability of protein. However, its bioavailability low, but interaction proteins can solve this problem. Bovine serum albumin bind various ligands, including polyphenols. The resulting complex gallic bovine become promising functiona...

Three experiments were conducted to study Cu sulfate and tribasic Cu chloride (TBCC) as sources of supplemental Cu for poultry. In Experiment 1, 252 chicks were fed the basal corn-soybean meal diet (26 ppm Cu) supplemented with either 0, 150, 300, or 450 ppm Cu from Cu sulfate or TBCC for 21 d. Chicks fed 450 ppm Cu from sulfate had lower (P < 0.05) feed intake than those consuming other diets....

Administration of L-arginine has been shown to increase cerebral blood flow and reduce neurological damage after experimental traumatic brain injury. The purpose of this study was to examine the optimal dose and time window for these neuroprotective effects. In a dose response experiment, doses of L-arginine ranging from 37.5 to 600 mg/kg were administered 5 min after a 5-m/s, 3-mm, controlled ...

The combination of a low dose coagulant with ballast, also known as “flock and sink,” has been proposed lake restoration cyanobacteria bloom management strategy. effectiveness this technique using aluminum sulfate (alum) local soil (LS) from Thailand ballast in eutrophic water dominated by positively buoyant Microcystis colonies collected tropical was investigated measuring changes chlorophyll-...

Background: Although hydro-alcoholic extracts of Anethum graveolens L. had Anticonvulsants effect on PTZ-induced kindling seizure behavior, but on the amygdala kindling in rats induced seizure has not been investigated. Objective: In this study, we evaluated the chronic effects of hydro-alcoholic extracts of Anethum graveolens L. on seizures using electrical amygdala kindling model. Methods: ...

A total of 75 microorganisms were obtained from high-sulfur content environmental samples using different sulfur sources. Fifty-four of them had the ability to oxidize sulfur at 1% (w/v) in liquid culture, however only three of them AZCT-M125-5, AZCT-M125-6, and AZCT-M125-7 were able to grow autotrophycally using elemental sulfur at concentrations higher than 1 % and up to 9 % (w/v) as energy s...
