background: due to the potential public health effects of releases of uranium to the environment, isotopic determination and measurement of this radionuclide in environmental samples is very important. achieving this goal, monitoring programs for this radionuclide seems necessary to be applied in many countries. materials and methods: the uranium was separated from the water samples using anion...

ABSTRACT Background: and soils with which it comes in contact. There is dual exposure from radon in water i.e. due toinhalation of the radon released from the water into the ambient air and through ingestion whenwater is used for drinking. As radon contaminated water adversely affects the health, it istherefore fundamental from health and hygiene point of view to measure radium concentrationand...

the activity concentration of gross alpha and gross beta particles in four samples of borehole drinking water consumed in ibrahim badamasi babangida university (ibbu), lapai, niger state-nigeria was measured, using a portable single channel gas free proportional counter (mpc2000b-dp) detector. this study focused on cancer related problems and the bio-data of the environment was discussed as wel...

abstract digestive enzyme inhibitors are proteinacious or nonproteinacious compounds which reduce an enzyme activity through attaching to its active site and/or its substrate. nowadays, plant enzyme inhibitors are of great importance because 1) these have considerable effects on insect digestive enzymes and as a result on their development; and 2) the transgenic plants expressing them are safe....

objective: alpha-glucosidase, as a carbohydratase catalyses the liberation of alpha-glucose from the nonreducing end of some carbohydrates from foods in digestive tract.  consequently, retard absorption of glucose by the inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes is one of the therapeutic approaches to decrease the postprandial hyperglycemia. recently, a great deal of attention has been pai...

background ducrosia anethifolia (da) is a medicinal plant traditionally used to treat a wide spectrum of illnesses. da contains a series of antioxidant compounds, including alpha-pinene, which give it a sedative and relaxing effect. in spite of these effects of da, the effects of da essential oil on anxiety and locomotor activity in open field tests have not yet been studied. in the present stu...
