Objective(s): Phytochemicals such as polyphenols, alkaloids, and terpenoids, protect against the development of early stages and complications of diabetes mellitus according to various reports. The aim of this study was to measure the anti-dyslipidemic and anti-diabetic effects of Citral on high-fat-diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic dyslipidemic rats and to see also its effec...

This study was conducted to evaluate histochemical alterations of river buffalo’s uterine wall acid andalkaline phosphatases (ALP and ACP), lipase and carbohydrate ratio during follicular and luteal phases.Forty apparently healthy and non pregnant river buffalos were considered for removal of the uterus aftersacrifice in slaughterhouse. All dissected uteri were divided into two luteal (by obser...

1. The activities of several enzymes of carbohydrate, lipid, acetate and ketone-body metabolism were measured in lactating mammary glands from rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, sows, sheep, cows and goats. The intracellular distributions of many of the enzymes were measured by fractional extraction. 2. Acetyl-CoA synthetase was predominantly cytoplasmic in rats and guinea pigs, but was more mit...

there has been considerable inconsistency regarding the potential relationship between dyslipidemia and bone metabolism. the inflammatory stimulation through the receptor activator of the nuclear factor kappa-b ligand (rankl)/ receptor activator of the nuclear factor kappa-b (rank)/ osteoprotegerin (opg) pathway could be the infrastructural mechanism for hypercholesterolemia-induced bone loss. ...

We show that the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, contains two cAMP-binding proteins in addition to the well-characterized regulatory (R) subunit of cytoplasmic cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). We provide evidence that they comprise a new type of cAMP receptor, membrane-anchored by covalently attached lipid structures. They are genetically not related to the cytoplasmic R subunit. The respe...

A method of fractionation of "ghosts" was devised to identify the chemical components of the cytoplasmic membrane. The method consists of dialyzing the "ghosts" against distilled water, and then dissolving the ghosts in dilute alkali. The ghosts were fractionated into four fractions by use of differential centrifugation. The components of each fraction were analyzed in detail. The ratio of lipi...

This subject was last reviewed at the Chiang Mai Symposium on Protein-Calorie Malnutrition (PCM), which was held in January 1973 and published in 1975 (1). At that time, there had been nearly 20 years of exciting research since Trowell et al. (2) wrote the first comprehensive monograph on kwashiorkor in 1954. This chapter recapitulates what was known about the subject in 1973, brings it up to d...
