The protective effect of a L-type calcium channel blocker, nimodipine, on cell injury induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in PC12 cells was investigated. PC12 cells were exposed to in-vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation (30 minutes and 60 minutes respectively) in the presence or absence of nimodipine (10mM/L) in three different time schedules (pre-24h, pre-3h and concurrently). Cellular vi...

Broomcorn seed (Sorghum vulgare) was used as raw material for bioethanol production. Optimum conditions were obtained from response surface method. Broomcorn seed flour (45 g/l) was treated by alkaline treatment and dual enzymatic hydrolysis (0.7 g/l of α- amylase and 0.42 g/l of amyloglucosidase). The hydrolyzed total sugar of 25.5 g/L was used in conventional bioethanol production (8.1 g/l) u...

the effect of natural killer (nk) cells and lymphokine activated killer ( lak) cells was studied on a group of human melanoma cell lines. peripheral blood from healthy volunteers was utilized as a fresh source of natural killer cells and rhi l-2 for producing lak cells. the cytotoxicity of effector cells was quantified using a 4 hour si determining the density of antigen expression on tumor cel...

the effect of in planta tiba and proline on in vitro seedlings and cell culture of sugar beet was investigated. sterilized seeds were grown in vitro on ½ strength ms medium supplemented with 0 or 3 mg/l tiba. calli obtained on young leaves cultured on ms medium containing 1 mg/l bap, were used for the intiation of cell suspension cultures using ms basal composition supplemented with 0 or 50 m m...

olea europaea l. commonly known as olive has been traditionally used for the prevention and treatment of many diseases since ancient times. olive has been reported to possess a broad spectrum of pharmacological properties. in the present study we investigated the activity of aqueous extract of olea europaea l. fruit at various concentrations on a2780, a172 and hfff2 cell lines proliferation by ...

Background: Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species are among the probiotics discussed due to their anti-cancer effects in the treatment of colorectal and breast cancers in recent studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the anticancer effect of Familact, a commercial probiotic capsule containing seven bacterial strains (L. casei, L. acidophilus, L. rhamnosus, L. bulgaricus, B. breve...
