We found that the dye nile red, 9-diethylamino-5H-benzo[alpha]phenoxazine-5-one, can be applied as a fluorescent vital stain for the detection of intracellular lipid droplets by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytofluorometry (J. Cell. Biol. 1985. 100: 965-973). To understand the selectivity of the staining, we examined the fluorescence properties of nile red in the presence of organic solvent...

A kinetic method developed for the determination of ultra-trace amounts of nitrite based on its catalytic effect on the reaction between potassium bromate and Nile blue A in strongly acidic media is reported. The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance of Nile blue A at 645 nm by the fixed-time method. The decrease in absorbance during the first...

it is postulated that ritalin may adversely affect sleep, appetite, weight and growth of some children with adhd. therefore, we aimed to evaluate melatonin supplementation effects on dietary intake, growth and development of children with adhd treated with ritalin through circadian cycle modification and appetite mechanisms.after obtaining consent from parents, 50 children aged 7-12 with combin...

In this demo, we present Nile-PDT, a Phenomenon Detection and Tracking framework using the Nile data stream management system. A phenomenon is characterized by a group of streams showing similar behavior over a period of time. The functionalities of Nile-PDT is split between the Nile server and the Nile-PDT application client. At the server side, Nile detects phenomenon candidate members and tr...

obgective: the purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of one session of swimming and running exercise on the appetite , calorie intake in the the healthy girls. methodology: the research design was a cross-sectional one and 12 girl from among university students (average age 22.5 ± 1.3 yr, bmi 21.17 ± 2.68 kg/m², weight 56.07 ± 5.46 kg and body fat percent 27.12 ± 8.31) voluntar...

Fructose consumption has increased dramatically in the last 40 years, and its role in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome has been implicated by many studies. It is most often encountered in the diet as sucrose (glucose and fructose) or high-fructose corn syrup (55% fructose). At high levels, dietary exposure to fructose triggers a series of metabolic changes originating in the liver, le...

background: west nile virus (wnv) is a vector-borneagent that is maintained within a bird-mosquito cycle. in humansand equids, infection by this agent is usually asymptomatic, orcharacterized by a mild febrile illness. however, fatal meningoencephalitisor encephalitis may occur. objectives:the aim ofthis study was to evaluate the prevalence of wnvinfection andcorrelation of this organism with h...

Objective: Losing weight in consequence of appetite loss can be a sign of a serious underlying condition. Currently, the most widely prescribed medication for anorexia is cyproheptadine hydrochloride. However, the clinical use of cyproheptadine hydrochloride is limited by its side effects. In Iranian traditional medicine, Coriandrum sativum stimulates the appetite. Therefore, the effect of Cori...
