The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of various storage media at 20 °C in maintaining the viability of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLF) over time. HPLF were maintained at 20 °C in skim milk (SM), whole milk (WM), freshly prepared Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS), Save-A-Tooth(r), natural coconut water (NCW), coconut water industrialized (ICW) and tap wa...

Physical and chemical changes were compared with soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil , rice oil, rapeseed oil, lard, palm oil and coconut oil in continuous water spraying and heating system (Table -1 , Fig,-1•`4). Thermal oxidative changes such as viscosity increasing ratio, carbonyl and iodine value , showed close relation with the initial iodine value of these oils. However, in coconut oil ...

Industrialization and urbanization have led to the release of increasing amounts of heavy metals into the environment. Metal ion contamination of drinking water and waste water is a serious ongoing problem especially with high toxic metals such as lead and cadmium and less toxic metals such as copper and zinc. Several biological materials have attracted many researchers and scientists as they o...

This work focuses primarily on the comparative response of rat liver enzymes to oral administration of the watersoluble fraction of 95% ethanol extract of Nauclea latifolia Sm. (Rubiaceae) leaves with 10% coconut oil meal and normal rat chow fed for 8 weeks. Forty-eight mature male albino rats of the Wistar strain weighing between 200 and 230 g were divided into two experimental groups. In expe...

Coconut, Cocos nucifera L., is a tree that is cultivated to provide a large number of products, although it is mainly grown for its nutritional and medicinal values. Coconut oil, derived from the coconut fruit, has been recognised historically as containing high levels of saturated fat; however, closer scrutiny suggests that coconut should be regarded more favourably. Unlike most other dietary ...
