indicative of a rise in membrane turnover upon increased Cho expression. Its expression level is usually increased in subacute and acute MS lesions. An increase in the amount of Cho-containing compounds has been detected in prelesional NAWM, at least 12 months before lesions became visible by conventional MR imaging as a result of early myelin membrane pathology. It is noteworthy that Cho seems...

Brain water diffusion in response to transient global ischemia (12 min), reperfusion (60 min), and cardiac arrest was monitored by localized proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The trace of the apparent diffusion coefficient tensor (ADC(Av)) was determined at high temporal resolution (10 sec) to assess the putative neuroprotective potential of oral creatine (Cr) in rats that received 2.2 g ...

 Abstract  Background: Despite the long-standing association of macrophage migration inhibitory  factor (MIF) with delayed-type hypersensitivity response, the potential role  of MIF in chronic allograft nephropathy is unknown. The association between upregulation of MIF expression, macrophage and T cell infiltration and the severity of  chronic allograft nephropathy suggests that MIF may be an ...

Under the MODARIA (Modelling and Data for Radiological Impact Assessments Programme of the International Atomic Energy Agency), there has been an initiative to improve the derivation, provenance and transparency of transfer parameter values for radionuclides. The approach taken for animal products is outlined here and the first revised table for goat milk is provided. Data from some references ...

Recent measurements of the positron/electron ratio in the cosmic ray (CR) flux exhibits an apparent anomaly1, whereby this ratio increases with energy between 10 and 100 GeV. In contrast, this ratio should decrease in the standard scenario, in which CR positrons are secondaries formed by hadronic interactions between the primary CR protons and the interstellar medium (ISM)2. The positron excess...

The study was executed to assess individual and interactive effects of elevated ultraviolet-B (eUV-B) radiation chromium (Cr) on a medicinal plant Adhatoda vasica Nees. experiment conducted under field conditions involving control, Cr, eUV-B, Cr+eUV-B treatments. results showed that Cr content the highest in roots as compared other parts Cr+eUV-B. Significant reductions photosynthetic rate, int...

Purpose: GABA is a very important inhibitory neurotransmitter, which is present at a very low concentration in the brain (~1 mM). Special spectral editing is necessary at clinical field strengths in order to detect GABA by magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Jdifference spectroscopy is a very efficient way of spectral editing GABA signal and is widely used. It is a common practice to report [GABA]...

Reduced function mutations in the insulin/IGF-I signaling pathway increase maximal lifespan and health span in many species. Calorie restriction (CR) decreases serum IGF-1 concentration by ~40%, protects against cancer and slows aging in rodents. However, the long-term effects of CR with adequate nutrition on circulating IGF-1 levels in humans are unknown. Here we report data from two long-term...

the potential of citrobacter freundii, a gram negative bacteria for the remediation of hexavalentchromium (cr(vi)) and trivalent chromium (cr(iii)) from aqueous solutions was investigated. bioremediationof cr(vi) involved both biosorption and bioreduction processes, as compared to only biosorption processobserved with respect to cr(iii) bioremediation. in the case of cr(vi) bioremediation studi...
