the objective of this study was to investigate whether or not the adverse effects of heat on sperm quality could be prevented by green tea extract (gte) administration. ninety adult male mice were randomly divided to two groups. the scrotum of each animal in the first group was immersed once for 20 min in a water bath maintained at 42 oc (heat group, h) and the second group (control group, c) w...

Human plasma low density lipoproteins (LDL) isolated by ultracentrifugation showed a single band corresponding to apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) by SDS-gradient gel electrophoresis (WE), In turn, apoB-100 of LDL precipitated from plasma by dextran sulfate-500 (DS)-MgCI, exhibited several bands indicative of a degradative process. The degradation was more extensive at O°C than at either 23OC or...

Goldfish, Carassius auratus, and common carp, Cyprinus carpio, were challenged with a panel of 8 different piscine and amphibian ranavirus isolates. Goldfish were exposed at a water temperature of 16°C and 23°C, and carp at 15°C and 25°C. No significant mortality was registered, and virus could not be re-isolated from goldfish or carp bath-challenged with any of the isolates in the panel. * Cor...

Physiol. 189(j) : SOI-5959 1957* -Measurements of ventricular exctiability through the entire cardiac cycle of the dog under progressive hypothermia show that the ventricular refractory period (measured as absolute, total or functional refractory period) is greatly prolonged...

Pawpaw [Asimina triloba (L.) Dunal] is the largest edible fruit native to North America. The species range covers 26 states in the U.S., extending from northern Florida to southern Ontario and as far west as eastern Nebraska. Pawpaw fruits were traditionally consumed by Native Americans, then by European explorers and settlers. Today, pawpaws are consumed by local populations in rural areas fro...

Cereal Chem. 70(4):426-429 Edible films were produced from wheat gluten-based film-forming solutions. One film was produced as a control. Other types came from subjecting control films to three different soaking treatments. Three additional films were also produced by modifying the control film-forming solution. For all films, selected physical properties and permeability to water vapor and oxy...

256 words) Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), which is essential for the survival of a large proportion of vagal sensory neurons, is expressed in the developing gastrointestinal (GI) tract where it could contribute to this survival, to other aspects of vagal afferent development, and to the development of spinal afferents, postganglionic sympathetic neurons and intrinsic neurons. Identifying the functions ...
