Biological fluids can be considered to contain information-rich mixtures of biochemicals and particles that enable clinicians to accurately diagnose a wide range of pathologies. Rapid and inexpensive analysis of blood and other bodily fluids is a topic gaining substantial attention in both science and medicine. One line of development involves microfluidic approaches that provide unique advanta...

Evaluate the interaction of dietary betaine and carnitine on subsequent circulating metabolomics immune cell response. This study was a complete factorial with or without added (276 5600 mg/kg as fed analyzed) 2 levels (26 382 analyzed). Thirty two dogs (range 2–11) were used. All assigned to one four treatment foods: control, control plus betaine, carnitine. foods for ninety days. Blood analys...

To date, the positive environmental impact of microalgae-based technologies has been demonstrated in numerous studies. However, there is still a number major technical and economic obstacles to overcome. Therefore, further research innovation are needed for development commercial exploitation large-scale integrated sustainable processes, based on robust ‘industrial’ microalgal strains novel pho...

Introduction: Medicinal plants such as Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (CA) have been studied over the years for their protective and curative potentials against a myriad of common global health challenges hepatorenal injuries.
 Objectives: To ascertaining effects hydromethanol leaf extract CA (HMLECA) on hepato-renal parameters in adult male wistar rats.
 Method: A total 18 rats were divid...

Abstract Background Woody plants with high glucose content are alternative bioresources for the production of biofuels and biochemicals. Various pretreatment methods may be used to reduce effects retardation factors such as lignin interference cellulose structural recalcitrance on degradation lignocellulose material woody plants. Results A hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid (HPAC) was several types ...

A practical approach to reduce the interferences of biochemicals and hematocrit ratio (Hct%) in the determination of whole blood glucose using multiple screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) test strips is described. SPCE test strips with and without glucose oxidase [i.e., GOD(+)-SPCEs and GOD(-)-SPCEs] were used and the chronoamperometric currents of test glucose solutions with various spiked ...

BACKGROUND Microbial production of biofuels and biochemicals from renewable feedstocks has received considerable recent attention from environmental protection and energy production perspectives. Many biofuels and biochemicals are produced by fermentation under oxygen-limited conditions following initiation of aerobic cultivation to enhance the cell growth rate. Thus, it is of significant inter...
