Lipoxygenase inhibitors reduce blood pressure in hypertensive rats. The vasodepressor effect of lipoxygenase inhibitors may be related to increased production of prostaglandin (PG) I2 since lipoxygenase-derived fatty acid hydroperoxides inhibit PGI2 synthase. This hypothesis was examined in rats made hypertensive by infusion of angiotensin II (200 ng/min i.p.) for 12 to 14 days. In hypertensive...

The crystalline quality of the AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) structure grown on a 200 mm silicon substrate has been investigated using UV-visible microRaman scattering and photoluminescence (PL). The visible Raman scattering probes the whole nitride stack with the Si substrate and shows the presence of a small component of residual in-plane stress in the thick GaN buffer re...

Sequence polymorphism is a well-known phenomenon of postnatal dental development. Individual sequence polymorphisms include the dm2-c/c-dm2* orders of eruption in the deciduous dentitions, and the M2-P2/P2-M2 and C-M2/M2-C eruption sequences in the permanent dentition (S. M. GARN and A. B. LEWIS, J Dent Res 36:992-995, 1957; S. M. GARN and A. B. LEWIS, in BROTHWELL, D.R. (ed) Dental Anthropolog...

Ten years have passed since the beginning of graphene research. In this period we have witnessed breakthroughs both in fundamental and applied research. However, the development of graphene devices for mass production has not yet reached the same level of progress. The architecture of graphene field-effect transistors (FET) has not significantly changed, and the integration of devices at the wa...

Potatoes are a high-value crop with shallow root system and high fertilizer requirements. The primary emphasis in potato production is minimizing nitrogen-leaching losses from the zone through fertigation. Therefore, field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years, 2018–2019 2019–2020 to assess effect of nitrogen irrigation amount frequency on tuber yield, water balance components prod...

BACKGROUND Previous studies of the association between intake of dairy products and colorectal cancer risk have indicated an inverse association with milk, however, the evidence for cheese or other dairy products is inconsistent. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify the shape of the dose-response relationship between dairy products and colorectal cancer risk. ...
