Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Cooling and Supplemental Bovine Somatotropin on Milk Production relating to Body Glucose Metabolism and Utilization of Glucose by the Mammary Gland in Crossbred Holstein CattleSiravit Sitprija, Somchai Chanpongsang, Narongsak ChaiyabutrProblem statement: The low milk yield and shorter persistency of lactation of dairy cattle is the major problem for the dairy practices in the tropics. High environmental temperatures and rapid decline of plasma growth hormone level can influence milk production. Regulation of the milk yield of animals is mainly based on the mechanisms governing the quantity of glucose extracted by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRal-Binding Protein is Required for the Maturation and Function of Dendritic CellsJozef Borvak, Mukesh Sahu, Varun Joy et al.Problem statement: Dendritic Cells (DCs) integrate responses of innate and adaptive immune system via transmitting pro-inflammatory and regulatory signals to naïve cells within draining lymph nodes. DCs have high capacity for endocytosis, both Clathrin-Dependent (CDE) and Caveolin-Dependent (CvDE). Approach: We have recently shown that ATP-hydrolysis by the multifunctional transporter protein RLIP76 is the primary determinant of the rate of CDE. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2010 · 8,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNasal Administration of Quercetin Liposomes Modulate Cognitive Impairment and Inhibit Acetylcholinesterase Activity in HippocampusTerdthai Tong-Un, Supaporn Muchimapura, Wathita Phachonpai, Jintanaporn WattanathornProblem statement: Oxidative stress is a major factor implicated in the degeneration of cholinergic neurons in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Several reports have indicated that antioxidant intake is beneficial to delay or inhibit the progression of this disease. Presently, Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors are the mainstay of therapy for AD. Quercetin, one of the flavonoids in fruits and vegetables, has a powerful … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,170 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 abstractDetermination of the Salivary Anti-Phenolic Glycolipid-1 Antibody in Leprosy Patients as a Tool to Monitoring MultidrugtherapyN. L.B. Bonfitto, A. C.F. Motta, R. B. Furini et al.Problem statement: The upper airways has a great importance as a route of M. leprae infection and because of the possibility of identifying relevant tools by systematic patient evaluation, the detection of leprosy patients by means of salivary markers becomes important. The aim of this study was to analyze anti-phenolic glycolipid 1 (anti-PGL-1) salivary and serum titers as parameters for … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,117 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Statistical Procedures for Analysis of Genetic Diversity in Domestic Animal PopulationsM. R. Nassiry, A. Javanmard, Reza TohidiProblem statement: A wide range of studies for the assessment of genetic diversity in livestock breed were conducted using genetic distance. For high-accuracy and unbiased estimation sampling methods, criteria of choosing type of DNA markers, distance measurement strategies, cluster analysis will be important for any genetic diversity projects. Approach: Main objective of this short review is focusing on application statistical … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,646 accessesView PDFCite

Species or subspecies of different chromosome constitution could mate to produce healthy hybrid offspring in a normal ratio of males and females. If any of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 8,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of S-Nitroso-N-Acetylpenicillamine and S-Nitroso-Captopril Co-Administered with Cysteine on Blood Glucose Concentration in an Animal ModelSacha Campbell, Ruby Alexander-Lindo, Tara Dasgupta et al.The study sought to test the hypothesis that co-administration of SNAP and cysteine or CapSNO and cysteine in normoglycaemic rats may further reduce glucose tolerance. An oral glucose tolerance was carried out and the plasma nitrite concentrations were measured and taken as the biochemical markers of in vivo NO formation. The results showed blood glucose levels were significantly elevated at … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,221 accessesView PDFCite
