Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXERCISE TRAINING REVERSES THE DELETERIOUS EFFECT OF SUCROSE INTAKE ON INSULIN RESISTANCE AND VISCERAL FAT MASS DEPOSITION ON MICEJulio Cesar Mendes Soares, Vanderlei Folmer, Gustavo Puntel, João B.T. Da RochaAbnormal fat deposition has been identified as an important mechanism of obesity-associated with insulin resistance. Literature data also indicate that exercise can improve insulin action. The heme pathway enzyme δ-Aminolevulinate Dehydratase (δ-ALA-D) is a good marker for oxidative stress and this sulfhydryl enzyme is inhibited in such oxidative pathologies diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2014 · 7,319 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSYNERGY OF A NOVEL ANTIBIOTIC ADJUVANT ENTITY AGAINST MULTI DRUG RESISTANT ENTEROBACTERIACEAEManu Chaudhary, Anurag PayasiIn the present investigation, we investigated the in vitro interaction of ceftriaxone plus sulbactam with disodium edetate, a Non Antibiotic Adjuvant (NAA) against selected clinical isolates and in vitro susceptibility studies were also performed. The isolates were tested against a range of ratios of ceftriaxone and sulbactam using a microdilution checkerboard method. Having determined the appropriate ratios of ceftriaxone plus … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 1 Nov 2013 · 7,416 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiotic Resistance and Chromium Reduction Pattern Among ActinomycetesPreeti Jain, Alina Amatullah, Samiul Alam Rajib, Hasan Mahmud RezaActinomycetes, one of the most important groups of microbes, exhibit many interesting activities such as degradation and transformation of organic and metal substrates together with production of antibiotics. With these bioactivities, actinomycetes would play an important role in the webs of the marine environment. The present study was designed to evaluate the antibiotic resistance pattern, antibiotic producing potential and chromium … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 8,905 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWheat Resistance to the Adult Insect of Sunn Pest, Eurigaster Integriceps PutNima Sanaey, Tohid Najafi MirakSunn pest is one of the most serious pests of wheat and barley in Asia, North Africa and Eastern Europe. Using of resistant cultivars is an effective strategy for Integrated Pest Management (IPM). In order to identify the resistant wheat to sunn pest, 79 Iranian bread and durum wheat cultivarslines were evaluated for resistance to natural infestations of sunn pest … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2012 · 8,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Protease Inhibitors on Metabolic Complications and Lipodystrophy in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected PatientsMohd Khaza, K. Laxmi Prasad, M. EstariProblem statement: Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)-associated metabolic complications include lipoatrophy (loss of Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue (SAT) and insulin resistance. The risk of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected patients receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) especially protease inhibitors has not been well defined. Approach: We conducted an analysis in the Hospital of Rajeev Gandhi Institute of Medical … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 6,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractα-Lipoic Acid Therapy Modulates Serum Levels of Some Trace Elements and Antioxidants in Type 2 Diabetic PatientsSalwa Kamal El-Nabarawy, Mona Abd El-Gelel Mohamed, Mohamed Mahmoud Ahmed, Ghada Hany El-ArabiProblem statement: The metabolism of several trace elements has been reported to alter in diabetes mellitus. The disturbance of their serum levels may have a role in the pathogenesis and progress of this disease. In addition, the reports about the status of antioxidants and antioxidant enzymes in diabetic patients are very contradictory. Though α-Lipoic Acid (LA) has long been touted … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExogenous Pyocyanin Alters Pseudomonas aeruginosa Susceptibility to CiprofloxacinGary D. Grant, Tian Tian Zhang, Lee S. Gloyne et al.This in vitro cell-based study identified the contributing role of pyocyanin in the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ciprofloxacin. Problem statement: P. aeruginosa is the major pathogen in the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) lung with pyocyanin being a critical component of its virulence. Prevalence is high and, once acquired, chronic infection is difficult to eliminate. Ciprofloxacin remains a crucial oral agent … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,792 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Exercise Training on Adiponectin Receptor Expression and Insulin Resistance in Mice Fed a High Fat DietNaglaa Fathy Alhusseini, Nasr Arafat Belacy, Enas Mohammed Kasem, Mona Maher AllamProblem statement: Adiponectin is an adipocyte secreted hormones, exerts its effects via the specific receptors. AdipoR1 and adipoR2 and plays a pivotal role in lipid and glucose metabolism. Approach: We investigated the effect of increased physical activities on insulin resistance and if this effect is modulated through adiponectin receptor expression. Results: We also assessed the effect of High Fat Diet … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmune Response and Pasteurella Resistance in Rabbits Fed Diets Containing Various Amounts of Black Cumin SeedsNabiela M. El Bagir, Imtitha T.O. Farah, Safia M.B. Elhag et al.Problem statement: The consumption of black cumin (Nigella sativa) seed has immunomodulatory and anti-bacterial activity, but in rabbits this had not yet been tested. Approach: In the present studies, rabbits were fed diets without or with black cumin seed and antibody production, phagocytotic activity, hypersensitivity and resistance against Pasteurellosis were assessed. Results: Feeding black cumin seed significantly increased serum concentrations … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiple Antibiotic Resistances of Vibrio Isolates from Coastal and Brackish Water AreasS. Manjusha, G. B. Sarita, K. K. Elyas, M. ChandrasekaranAn experiment was designed to assess the occurrence of multiple antibiotic resistances in Vibrio spp. from different (brackish and marine) environments. Water samples from nine marine landing sites and two coastal inland aquaculture farms were screened for the Vibrio spp. and assessed their resistance to twenty-two different antibiotics, which are commonly encountered in the aquatic ecosystem. Tissue samples (shrimp, mussel … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,077 accessesView PDFCite
