Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Kaempferia parviflora on Ischemic Brain Injury in the ratWathita Phachonpai, Sinthuporn Maharun, Supaporn Muchimapura et al.Problem statement: Stroke often causes irreversible neuronal damage and related behavioral deficits. The lack of effective and widely applicable pharmacological treatments for ischemic stroke patients may explain a growing interest in traditional plant medicines. We investigated the ability of consuming Kaempferia parviflora extract, a Thai medicinal plant reputed for neuroprotective effects against brain damage, reduced infarct volume and improve neurological … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2012 · 9,088 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuroprotective Effect against Cerebral Ischemia of Passiflora foetidaJintanaporn Wattanathorn, Natcha Sattroopinat, Terdthai Tong-Un et al.Problem statement: Although cerebral ischemia induced by stroke has been regarded as the important problem worldwide, the therapeutic efficacy is still inadequate. Since the free radicals are implicated in the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia, the prophylactic protection against stroke with neuroprotective agent possessing antioxidant effect has gained much attention. Therefore, this study was designed to determine whether the alcoholic extract … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2012 · 8,242 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynergistic Effect of Insulin on in vitro Development of Immature Bovine OocytesMojtaba Dashtizad, Abd Wahid Haron, Rosnina Yusoff et al.Problem statement: Development of efficient culture system to support embryonic development would be valuable when quality of produced embryos was important. However, the rate of bovine embryo production in vitro was still lower than expected. Present study, including of three experiments, was carried out to investigate the effect of insulin on nuclear maturation and subsequent development of immature bovine oocytes … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 10,433 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Antifungal Bacteriocin-Synthesizing Strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis as the Perspective Biopreservatives for Protection of Raw Smoked SausagesL.G. Stoyanova, E.A. Ustyugova, T.D. Sultimova et al.Problem statement: Screening for the effective bacteriocin-synthesizing strains of Lactococcus lactis as the perspective biopreservatives was performed. We used a raw milk and dairy products from different climatic regions as well as from powerful drinks of mixed lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation: kurunga, kumiss and Iranian “Dough”, that were widely used by local population to prevent diseases. Approach: The special … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2010 · 9,683 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBio-oils from Pyrolysis of Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesMohamad Azri Sukiran, Chow Mee Chin, Nor Kartini Abu BakarProblem Statement: The palm oil industry generates an abundance of oil palm biomass such as the mesocarp fibre, shell, empty fruit bunch (EFB), frond, trunk and palm oil mill effluent (POME). For 80 million tonnes of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) processed last year, the amount of oil palm biomass was more than 25 million tones. The objectives of this study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 11,184 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComplexes of 2-Thioacetic Acid Benzothiazole with Some Metal IonsEmad Yousif, Yang Farina, Khawla Kasar et al.New metal complexes of the ligand 2-thioacetic acid benzothiazole with the metal ions Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Sn(II) were prepared in alcoholic medium. The prepared complexes were characterized by FTIR Spectroscopy, electronic spectroscopy, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. From the spectral measurements, monomer structures for the complexes were proposed. Square planar geometry was proposed for the copper … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,846 accessesView PDF Cite
