The extent of the oxidation of the sulfur of the amino acid, cystine, by the animal organism has been the subject of frequent study (1, 2). It has been shown that the sulfur of cystine administered in moderate quantities is oxidized readily and excreted in bhe urine chiefly as sulfate sulfur. Variable recoveries of the sulfur of cystine when fed are frequently obtained, owing presumably to t,he...

Listeria monocytogenes is a common postprocess contaminant on ready-to-eat foods including premade ready-to-eat sandwiches. One popular type of sandwich product is the tortilla wrap, which contains sliced luncheon meats and cheeses rolled within a flour tortilla.

According to the Indian tradition, the period of 12 years or one mandala of hard work is known as " Tapas. " J‑AIM has just completed only half a mandala. During this period, we have tried to take baby steps toward our goal to...

Metabolomics is one of the most rapidly growing areas of contemporary science. Although classic genetics aims to link variations in the DNA sequence directly to distinct phenotypes, “-omic” technologies allow us to shift the focus from the specific gene to the actual effects of the gene itself. Because neither the transcriptional or protein profile can be directly correlated with metabolite con...

BACKGROUND: In the present study, the submandibularsalivary gland microscopic morphology of the adult Africangiant pouched rat was investigated. This study was carried out toprovide the basic histology of this organ in the giant pouched rat,to accompany the dearth of information of its microscopicarchitecture in the available literature. This becomes of evenhigher importance when considering th...
