The role of Ca2+ in adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)stimulated lipolysis in rat adipocytes was investigated using perifused fat cells. With this system, it is possible to monitor minute-to-minute changes in glycerol release from adipocytes during both the activation and inactivation phases of hormone-induced lipolysis. The lipolytic response to ACTH was dose-dependent and 0.1 unit per ml of A...

In this work, the individual and interactive effects of temperature pH on proteolytic activity Lactococcus lactis LCL strain in milk were studied by quadratic Response Surface Methodology. The selected variables have been analysed using a Central Composite Design maximum response (proteolysis rate) under optimum values satisfactory fit model was realized. mathematical relationship two significa...

Results: Response of skin warty lesions to treatment with intralesional 5-FU was as following: complete response was seen in 200 (80.0 %), partial response was seen in 37 (14.8 %) of cases and no response was recorded in 13 (5.2 %) of cases. There was no significant association between size of warty lesion and response to intralesional 5-FU (p = 0.154), but there was significant association bet...

The purpose of this study was to develop a valid prediction of maximal oxygen uptake from data collected during a submaximum bench stepping test among children ages 8-12 years. Twentyseven active subjects (16 male and 11 female), weight 36.1 kg, height 144.4 cm and VO2 47.4 ± 7.9 ml/kg/min participated. Subjects completed a maximal oxygen consumption test with analysis of expired air and a subm...

Seawater ultrafi ltration (UF) as a pretreatment of reverse osmosis (RO) process in a thermal power plant was investigated using a 100 kDa hollow fi ber membrane. The choice of the UF physical backwash conditions remains arbitrary or ensuing from a sensibility study. As the optimum must take into account the factors interactions, we led a response surface study to analy...
