melanin pigment plays a critical role in camouflage and   protection against harmful effects of solar radiation. melanogenesis is under   complex regulatory control by multiple agents. tyrosinase is a   multifunctional, which catalyzes the first two steps in mammalian   melanogenesis. in this study, inhibitory effects of astragalus fasciculifolius   and astragalus gypsicolus on diphenolase acti...

genistein is a soya isoflavone, which is found naturally in legumes, such as soybeans and chickpeas. the intraperitoneal administration of the optimum dose (200 mg/kg) of genistein 24 h and 15 minbefore irradiation (8 gy at a dose rate of 1.02 gy/min) recovered the deficit in protein content (28.63±1.44%) and the dna content (21.61±8.19%) if an average of 5 intervals of autopsies 1st, 3rd, 7th,...

Abstract: The performance of an Imidazoline based commercial corrosion inhibitor in CO2 corrosion of a gas-well tubing steel was studied by employing Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) technique. Inhibitor performance was investigated by means of its efficiency at various concentration and also its behavior at various exposure time. EIS results showed that inhibitor interaction to...

2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid is(pbtc) a member of phosphonate family, and used as corrosion and scale inhibitor in cooling water systems. phosphonocarboxylates as a member of organophosphorus compounds have c-p and p-o bonds in their structures. pbtc is mainly used as carbonate scale inhibitor (caco3), sulphate scale inhibitor (caso4), corrosion inhibitor of low alloyed steel, eff...

Abstract Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinase 2 is one of the inflammatory mediators that is involved in nociceptive processing and its production is regulated by many inflammatory factors such as nitric oxide. We studied the role of MMP-2 on the analgesic effects of nNOS inhibitor. Methods: Considering that nitric oxide has many roles in pain processing, we studied the CSF levels of MMP-2 ...

urease enzyme has a crucial role in the persistent habitation of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) that induces gastrointestinal diseases, in particular gastritis, duodenal, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. plants have long been utilized as the biggest source of substances with medicinal properties from natural origin and therefore result in less toxicity and adverse side effects upon usage. 15 ...

one of the problems in the case of stainless steels is their low corrosion resistance against pitting corrosionin chloride containing environments, thereby leading to severe damage to industries. in this research, the pitting corrosion of 304 austenitic stainless steel was studied in 3.5% nacl solution at room temperature (25˚c) by performing electrochemical measurements (containing cyclic pola...

in this research, mesoporous silica was applied as the host of corrosion inhibitor (molybdate). the loaded mesoporous silica was dispersed in an epoxy matrix. the composite was then coated on the mild steel plate. results showed that the corrosion resistance of the scratched epoxy/mesoporous silica loaded by molybdate was better than the one without molybdate or neat epoxy. on the other hand, e...

conclusions the results of this study suggest that app reduction by hdacis can apparently play an important role in the treatment of colon cancer. background amyloid precursor protein (app), which is involved in cell proliferation, is observed to be over expressed in human cancer. thus, it is crucial to investigate its role in cancer and suggest treatment strategies to alter its effects on cell...

background: hemophilia b is a bleeding disorder with a recessive x-linked inheritance pattern, in which the infected individuals have low levels of factor ix in their plasma. affected individuals may have bleeding episodes after trauma or spontaneously considering the plasma level of factor ix. in order to prevent these episodes and to control bleeding, they should use coagulation factor concen...
