Dusty shoeprints can be found on various substrates and should be dealt with properly. When the shoeprints are located on a human body the challenge is greater, due to the curved shape of the human body and the skin texture. We made several dust impressions on a human volunteer. The prints were lifted using three different methods: electrostatic lifter, black gelatin lifter and white adhesive l...

Four simple and sensitive visible spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the assay of dutasteride. Method I describes the interaction of dutasteride, as an n-electron donor, with chloranil, as a pi-acceptor, in acetonitrile to give reddish orange colored chloranil radical anion with absorption maxima at 525 nm. Method II involves the oxidative coupling reaction of dutasteride with 3...

Expelling of dyestuff into water resource system causes major thread to the environment. Adsorption is the cost effective and potential method to remove the dyes from the effluents. Therefore, an attempt was made to study the adsorption of dyestuff (Methylene Blue (MB), Bromophenol Blue (BPB) and Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB)) by α-chitin nanoparticles (CNP) prepared from Penaeus monodon (Fabr...

In this paper we report the first complete mapping of the pituitary in a tuna species. The various different adenohypophysis cell types of the bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus L. have been identified and located using different antisera against mammalian and piscine hormones and various histochemical techniques: PAS, Alcian Blue pH 2.5 and lectins -ConA and WGA(Neutral and Acidic Glycoproteins); B...

1. The renal excretion of phenol red and other phenolsulphophthalein dyes (bromophenol blue and bromothymol blue) was studied in clearance experiments on anaesthetized rabbits. 2. Net tubular excretion of phenol red reached a maximal value of 8 mumole/min at a plasma concentration of ultrafiltrable dye of about 0.1 mM and was decreased at higher plasma concentrations. Decreases in net tubular e...
