Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metals and Anion Levels in Some Samples of Vegetable Grown Within the Vicinity of Challawa Industrial Area, Kano State, NigeriaJ. C. Akan, F. I.A. Abdulrahman, V. O. Ogugbuaja, J. T. AyodeleProblem section: Effluents from the surrounding industries such as tannery and textile are used by vegetable farmers for the irrigation of their crops. These effluents may contain some toxic metals which bioaccumulate along the food chain. Moreover the uptake of such toxic metals by crops is governed by their availability and concentration in the soil. Therefore such crops may accumulate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,270 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross-Latitudinal, Seasonal and Diurnal Comparisons in Thyroid Hormone Concentrations in Sled DogsKriya L. Dunlap, Arleigh J. Reynolds, Kent R. Refsal et al.Problem Statement: Hypothyroidism has been a common disorder in humans and dogs. Amongst a sundry of functions, the thyroid gland plays a key role in metabolism and consequently, hypothyroidism has been a common diagnosis for a decrease in performance in sled dogs. Research has indicated that a variety of environmental factors influence thyroid hormone production, of which, light exposure, climate, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,184 accessesView PDFCite

KrishnaProblem statement: Traditional image retrieval systems are content based image retrieval systems which rely on low-level features for indexing and retrieval of images. CBIR systems fail to meet user expectations because of the gap between the low level features used by such systems and the high level perception of images by humans. To meet the requirement as a preprocessing step … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,581 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhat is Xenohormesis?Joseph A. Baur, David A. SinclairPolyphenols such as resveratrol and quercetin, which are produced by stressed plants, activate sirtuin enzymes and extend the lifespan of fungi and animals, ostensibly by mimicking the beneficial effects of caloric restriction. This observation raises an interesting question: Why should foreign molecules that are non-nutritive and seemingly unrelated to any endogenous molecule modulate the same biochemical pathways that mediate the … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 10,386 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormesis and Exercise: How the Cell Copes with Oxidative StressLi Li Ji, Zsolt Radak, Sataro GotoContraction-induced production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species has been shown to cause oxidative stress to skeletal muscle, heart and other organs. As an adaptive response, muscle antioxidant defense systems are upregulated in response to exercise to restore intracellular prooxidantantioxidant homeostasis. Thus, both young and old animals and humans involved in regular exercise have shown reduced oxidative damage during acute … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Combined Phytohemagglutinin And α-Ketoglutarate Pharmacology Study of Gut Morphology and Growth in Older Adult RatsR. Filip, A. Harrison, S. G.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Bacillus subtilis 'PB6' (ATCC - PTA 6737) on Clostridium difficile Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in Animal ModelsEric Peys, Jerry Varghese, Ponusami Suresh et al.The administration of probiotic bacteria is emerging as a potential means of preventing the onset or recurrence of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) and of attenuating inflammatory activity and preventing relapses in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We evaluated the efficacy of Bacillus subtilis 'PB6' (ATCC - PTA 6737) in a hamster model of antibiotic-induced CDAD and in a rat model … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,097 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunodeficient Parameters in the HIV-1 Transgenic Rat ModelSulie L. Chang, Frank Ocasio, Jose A. BeltranRecently an HIV-1 transgenic (HIV-1Tg) rat model was created that carries a gag-pol-deleted HIV-1 genome under the control of the HIV-1 viral promoter. However, other viral proteins are expressed in most organs and tissues, and are found in the circulating blood. Since HIV-1 targets the immune system in humans, we examined two immunological parameters, leukocyte-endothelial adhesion (LEA) and inflammatory cytokine … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,834 accessesView PDFCite
