This study examined the effects of China rose powder (Hibiscus rosasiensis) supplementation (1.5%) on the growth performance, body composition, and pigmentation of blue gourami at different stocking densities (0.6 and 0.9 fish L-1). Four treatments were assigned in this study: China rose diet+0.6 fish L-1 (CG0.6), China rose diet+0.9 fish L-1 (CG0.9), control diet+0.6 fish L-1 (C0.6) and contro...

Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders that may result in significant consequences in active population of the society. In traditional manuscripts there are many indications about the antidepressant effects of rose oil, but so far no scientific research has been done about this subject. The purpose of present study was to determine the antidepressant effects of rose oil and ...

The health benefits of green and black tea are mainly associated with their antioxidant potential and phenolic compounds. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of dried rose petals (Rosa damascena) on the antioxidant capacity of green and black tea. Antioxidant capacities of tea and rose infusions were assessed using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2, 2-azinobis-3-<...

of the disease-associated sites), the mouse sequence was the same as the human disease-associated sequence. Moreover, in 23 of these, there is documentation of a cause-and-effect relationship between the mutation and disease in humans (Mouse Genome Sequencing Consortium, 2002). This unexpected finding is important because it implies that the harmfulness of a mutation can depend on the biochemic...

The effects of acute volume loading were examined on indices of left ventricular (LV) function in conscious, unrestrained and intact, tranquilized baboons. Experiments were conducted 1-3 mo after implantation of ultrasonic transducers to measure LV internal diameter and wall thickness, and miniature LV pressure gauges and aortic and left atrial catheters. In 10 intact, tranquilized baboons, rap...

The peripheral vascular response to severe exercise in eight dogs with heart failure produced by tricuspid avulsion and progressive pulmonary stenosis was compared to the response determined in eight control dogs. After full recovery from implantation of Doppler flow probes and miniature pressure gauges, measurements of arterial blood pressure and blood flow were telemetered from untethered dog...

[reaction: see text] Here we describe a miniature protein (1) that presents the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) recognition epitope found within the heat-stable Protein Kinase Inhibitor protein (PKI) and a miniature protein conjugate (1-K252a) in which 1 is joined covalently to the high-affinity but nonselective kinase inhibitor K252a. Miniature protein 1 recognizes PKA with an affinity tha...
