ROS detoxification is an essential process in protecting plant cells and their organelles, which is caused by ROS generated in stress condition. Peroxidase (POD) isozyme, Malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity are the indicators of plants for measuring pollution effects. The purpose of the present study was to investigate Cd-induced stress on POD isozymes, MDA co...

Experiment was conducted in 0.0-ha earthen ponds to promote growth performance of silver carp and Cyprinus carpio big head (cyprinid) plus phytoplankton zooplankton were estimated a pond receiving mixed fertilizer with vermicomposting, 6000 12000 kg per/ha/year (VC6 VC12) 6000, without vermicomposting (CO6and CO12). All treatments compared finally. Significant differences found diversity abunda...

During the purification of macrosphelides A and B in the cultured broth of FO-5050, we discovered two new 1 6-memberedmacrocyclic compounds, macrosphelides C (1) and D (2) (Fig. 1). This paper describes physicochemical properties structural determination and biological activities of 1 and 2. The fermentation of strain FO-5050 was carried out in the same way as reported previously1}. Compound 1 ...

D-tagatose is in development as a medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The effect of oral D-tagatose on the absorption of D-fructose was assessed when co-administered in this study. In the pilot study, male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed C14 labeled fructose and glucose concomitantly to establish dose levels for the treatment group of rats fed C14 labeled fructose together with D-taga...

AIM AND OBJECTIVE To compare and evaluate the effect of ultraviolet (UV) stabilizers (Chimassorb 81 and Uvinul 5050) on the color change of pigmented elastomer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two pigments - Red (P112 Brilliant Red) and Yellow (P106 Yellow) and two UV stabilizers Chimassorb 81 and Uvinul 5050 were studied. A total of six groups of 10 samples each were fabricated using a combination of ...

1. Changes in arterial blood pressure, blood angiotensin I, plasma angiotensin II and plasma angiotensin III were measured in conscious sodium-depleted dogs after infusion of captopril, an orally active inhibitor of converting enzyme. 2. Angiotensins II and III were measured after chromatography to remove angiotensin I, which increased in concentration after inhibition of converting enzyme and ...

B6C3F1 mice were treated with 0, 100, 500, 1500, or 6000 ppm di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) in the diet for up to 104 weeks. Blood and urine were analyzed at Weeks 26, 52, 78, and 104 from 10 animals per sex per group. Body weights and food consumption were measured weekly for the first 16 weeks, then monthly thereafter. Survival was reduced for mice receiving 6000 ppm DEHP. Overall weight ga...
