Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanism of Mulberry's Effect on Intestinal Flora and MotilityHuizhen Zhao, Shijing Xie, Yuwen Li et al.Studies have indicated that mulberry consumption promotes intestinal motility and alleviates constipation, but the specific mechanism remains unclear. This study adopted a constipation mouse model to empirically analyze the effects of mulberry on intestinal motility, gut microbiota composition, and neurotransmitter levels, aiming to elucidate its mechanism of action. Key findings are as follows: 1) Compared with the model group, the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 2 Jul 2026 · 1,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferent Arrangement of Dopamine Receptors/NMDA Receptors Heterocomplexes in the Brain Regions of a Healthy Male, Female and Audiogenic Seizure-Prone Male RatsGigi Tevzadze, Elene Zhuravliova, Natia Okriashvili et al.Differences in the composition and subcellular localization of heteroreceptors in the brain can trigger central nervous system diseases, including epilepsy and autism. Protein-protein interactions between Dopamine Receptors (DRs) and GLUN2A and GLUN2B subunits are critical mechanisms that regulate dopamine and glutamate coordinated signals. These interactions may be involved in the pathophysiological predisposition of epilepsy. We hypothesized that the specificity of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 27 Apr 2022 · 6,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Different Oral Rehydration Solutions for Diarrheic Dairy CalvesEvangelina Miqueo, Jackeline Thais da Silva, Fernanda Lavínia Moura Silva et al.Regardless of the causative agent, diarrhea results in large loss of water and electrolytes, which leads to reduced performance and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate oral rehydration solutions in order to determine the most effective in restoring electrolytes and water while maintaining animal performance. Forty two calves (14 per treatment) were distributed in one of three … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 26 Nov 2018 · 8,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCastration and Passive Avoidance Learning Alter the Distribution of N-Methyl D-Aspartate ReceptorSeyed Hassan Mirzaei, Mahnaz Taherianfard, Mina Tadjali, Mahbobeh KohkaloyehIn neurophysiological studies on learning and memory, L-glutamate receptors especially N-Methyl, D-Aspartate glutamate (NMDA) receptors have a major role in different aspect of the learning and memory. Two sites of mammalian brain that show high density of these receptors are CA1 region of hippocampus and Purkinje cell layer of cerebellum. Twenty four Sprague-Dawley rats were used in 4 groups: Control … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 1 Apr 2014 · 6,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVED PREDICTION FOR MEDIUM OPTIMIZATION USING FACTORIAL SCREENING FOR DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID PRODUCTION BY SCHIZOCHYTRIUM SP. SW1Vidyah Manikan, Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Mohd Hafez Mohd Isa, Aidil Abdul HamidDocosa Hexaenoic Acid (DHA) is an essential fatty acid that plays major role in human health. It is typically extracted from fatty fish and this puts pressure on global fish stock. DHA obtained from fish is also prone to contamination. Schizochytrium is a potential alternative source, having the ability of accumulating considerable amounts of DHA. Modification of medium components and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 15 Jan 2014 · 7,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Microbial Inoculants on Feeding Value of Spent Lentinula edodes SubstrateYunfu Gu, Min Yi, Jianzhou Chen, Xiaoping ZhangSawdust-based Spent Lentinula Edodes Substrate (SLES) is an important agricultural waste resource for its’ huge production amount, on the other hand, it is hard to recycling because of the low digestibility. For the purpose of recycling the SLES, a study was conducted to improve the feeding values of SLES via microbial inoculation. The SLES was ensiled with 0.5% (v/w) Lactic … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2012 · 7,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrenatal Exposure to Chronic Ethanol on N Methyl D Aspartate Receptor DistributionM. Taherianfard, B. Geramizadeh, E. Evazi, M. SharifiProblem statement: Effect of chronic exposure to ethanol on NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor distribution in chick embryo brain chronic ethanol intake leads to the development of dependence on and tolerance to ethanol in both human and animals. The glutamate system plays a major role in mediating ethanol effects on brain and behavior. The aim of the present study … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2012 · 7,301 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrient and the Mind-Body Axis, in Relation to Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Amino AcidsToru Takahashi, Eri Toda, Ram B. Singh et al.Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs); obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) and cancer have become major health problems in both developing and developed countries. Physical inactivity and increased intake of energy rich proinflammatory foods in association with genetic predisposition are common primary risk factors for these problems. Mind-body interactions and mechanisms in relation to hypothalamus neurotransmitters and vagus nerve have … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNifH: Structural and Mechanistic Similarities with Proteins Involved in Diverse Biological ProcessesSurobhi Lahiri, Lakshmi Pulakat, Nara GaviniThe NifH protein is a subunit of the nitrogenase enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia. This protein contains highly conserved regions including the nucleotide binding sites, metal center ligands and the Switch I and Switch II domains. A number of proteins have structural and mechanistic similarities as well as evolutionary relationships with the NifH protein, notable … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuroprotection Afforded by GABA Against Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation-Induced Injury in Rat Cortical Brain Slices: An Hormetic Dose-Response EffectLorenzo Ricci, Massimo Valoti, Giampietro Sgaragli, Maria FrosiniThe aim of the present investigation was to assess neuroprotection exerted by GABA (100 nM-100 mM) in rat cortical brain slices subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation. Neuronal injury and neuroprotection were assessed by measuring the release of glutamate and lactate dehydrogenase and tissue water content. Results demonstrate that GABA exerted neuroprotective effects according to a U-shaped, hormetic-like, concentration-response curve, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,166 accessesView PDFCite
