Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a group of psycho behavioural symptoms experienced by many susceptible young women prior to menstruation. It is suggested that there is altered autonomic activity in the late leuteal phase of their endometrial cycle. The present study is aimed to see the autonomic reactivity in women suffering from PMS and to compare it with control ones. The results revealed that...

this study aimed to assess the effects of four weeks of detraining after eight weeks of intense sprint training on risk factors of atherogenic inflammatory damages. for this purpose, 42 male rats were divided randomly into two groups: sprint training group (experimental) (n=24 and weight 210±7) and control group (n=18 and weight 211±3). the training program was performed for 12 weeks, three ses...

The objective of this study was to explore the effect of the character of chitosans used, and the regeneration conditions employed on, the yield and physicochemical characteristics of regenerated products. Different concentrations of acetic acid were used to dissolve chitosans of 61.7% and 94.9% degree of deacetylation (DD), and weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 176 and 97 kDa, respective...

Abstract To determine the effects of air pollution on crop yields, weather, pollution, and maize winter wheat yield data from 331 cities in China 2014 to 2016 were collected analysed. Furthermore, support vector regression growth model applied extrapolate Beijing Hetian verify relationship between yield. Precisely, heavy usually occurred North China, but less than moderate levels affected yield...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of Eucheuma cottonii on alveolar macrophages (AM) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF) in particulate matter 10 (PM10) coal dust-exposed rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten groups, including a non exposed group and groups exposed to coal dust at doses of 6.25 (CD6.25), 12.5 (CD12.5), or 25 mg/m(3) (CD25) an hour daily for 6 ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effect of chitooligosaccharides prepared by chitosanase from Pseudomonas CUY8. Antimicrobial activities of different degrees of deacetylation (DD) and polymerization (DP) of chitooligosaccharides against various species of bacteria and fungi were measured. The antimicrobial effects of chitooligosaccharides compared with chitosan and chi...
