Background The effects of cyclosporine (Cs), a fungal cyclic polypeptide with potent immunosuppressive activity, on fertility have assumed greater significance with the increasing numbers of transplantations being performed all over the world. Current study was undertaken to investigate the potential of Satureja khuzestanica Essential Oil (SEO) as an antioxidant to mitigate Cs-induced reprotoxi...

background: the effects of cyclosporine (cs), a fungal cyclic polypeptide with potent immunosuppressive activity, on fertility have assumed greater significance with the increasing numbers of transplantations being performed all over the world. current study was undertaken to investigate the potential of satureja khuzestanica essential oil (seo) as an antioxidant to mitigate cs-induced reprotox...

Insider trading problems relating to Japanese seasoned equity offerings (SEO) have attracted the attention of many investors. The purpose of this paper is to examine SEO insider problem and to provide suggestions to solve the problem. We have several findings. First, all four of the SEO insider firms experienced negative abnormal stock returns and high trading volume just two weeks before SEO a...

dpph radical-scavenging activity of the bene hull oil (bho), sesame oil (seo), rice bran oil (rbo), the oils' methanolic (ch3oh/h2o, 80:20 v/v) or hexane extracts, and their unsaponifiable matters fraction were measured and compared with each other. as a radical-scavenger, seo was significantly stronger than rbo and bho, respectively. unlike bho and rbo, the unsaponifiable (usm) fraction of the...

The adsorption of selenite ions (SeO~-) from a dilute aqueous solution onto a freshly-cleaved calcite (1014) surface was studied with the X-ray standing wave (XSW) technique. The complex ion SeO zis found to selectively adsorb at the CO~ site via ionic exchange, forming a two-dimensional solid-solution of the form Ca(SeO3)x(CO3) 1 x at the interface. The calcite (1014), (0006) and (1120) Bragg ...

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an Internet marketing strategy that used widely for improving the volume and quality of customer traffic to a company website through search engines. This research aims to explore the importance and benefits of SEO in marketing as well as to examine the impact of SEO dimensions on online advertisement. A questionnaire was distributed personally on 121 compani...

The sieve element occlusion (SEO) gene family originally was delimited to genes encoding structural components of forisomes, which are specialized crystalloid phloem proteins found solely in the Fabaceae. More recently, SEO genes discovered in various non-Fabaceae plants were proposed to encode the common phloem proteins (P-proteins) that plug sieve plates after wounding. We carried out a compr...

The metabolism of (75)Se-labeled SeO(3) (2-) and its conversion by intact rat erythrocytes in vitro to a form which complexes with Cd and plasma proteins were studied. By utilizing both excess SeO(3) (2-) and N-ethylmaleimide to lower erythrocyte reduced glutathione (GSH) concentrations, it was shown that the uptake and metabolism of SeO(3) (2-) were GSH-dependent, the probable intermediate bei...
