Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDihydroartemisinin-Stimulated Hyperplasia of Rat Lung Smooth MusclesUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu AnastasiaProblem statement: Dihydroartemisinin was shown to produce two types of inhibitory effects on the cardiac muscles of rats. It was also shown to stimulate haemopoiesis in the lungs, liver, spleen, intestine and kidney of rats. This study attempted to find out the nature of the effect of oral dihydroartemisinin on the lungs of Wistar albino rats. Approach: The effects of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 8 Dec 2011 · 7,024 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtra-Bone Marrow Sites of Haemopoeisis: Dihydroartemisinin Effects in Wistar Albino RatsNedosa Uchechukwu Anastasia, Saleh Mohammed, Nedosa Kenechi Stanislaus et al.Problem statement: Iron is present in ferritin, the storage form of iron in the tissues; in the respiratory cytochrome enzymes; in hemoglobin of the blood and in the myoglobin of muscle Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) has been shown to interact with heme groups in vivo and in vitro. This study investigated the effects of 5 day and 7day oral dihydroartemisinin treatments on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 2 Nov 2011 · 6,826 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Calcium Supplementation on Growth, Nutrient Digestibility and Fecal Lactobacilli in Dairy CalvesC. Yuangklang, C. Wachirapakorn, H.E. Mohamed et al.Problem statement: Based on earlier studies in veal calves and rats, the hypothesis tested was that high calcium intakes by ruminating dairy calves reduce fat digestibility, but do not affect growth performance due to enhanced colonization of the intestine with lactobacilli. Approach: In dairy calves that were fed on a combination of milk replacer, concentrate on grass hay, the effects … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,247 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractViability of Lactobacillus delbrueckii Under Human Gastrointestinal Conditions Simulated In VitroKarina Cruz Pacheco, Gustavo Valencia Del Toro, Fabian Robles Martinez, Enrique Duran-ParamoProblem statement: Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus is a lactic bacteria mostly used in the production of yoghurt and it has an important probiotic activity that brings benefits to the human body. However, the gastrointestinal tract has aggressive conditions, such as the acid pH in the stomach and the bile in the duodenum, that reduce the viability of this bacteria. Approach: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Toxic Effects of Dihydroartemisinin on the Vital Organs of Wistar Albino RatsA. U. Utoh-Nedosa, P. A. Akah, T. C. Okoye, C. O. OkoliProblem statement: The current surge in the use of Artemisinin based Combination Therapy (ACT) in the treatment of falciparium resistant malaria in the tropics and the potentials of Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a member of the artemisinin family, to produce toxic effect in the vital organs (such as the liver, heart, lungs, intestine, spleen kidney and blood cells) necessitated this research. Approach: … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Model of Intestinal Anaphylaxis in Whey Sensitized Balb/c MiceNegaoui Hanane, Kaddouri Hanane, Kheroua Omar, Saidi DjamelProblem statement: Cow’s Milk Allergy (CMA) is a common disease in childhood. Pathophysiological mechanisms involved in gastrointestinal symptoms are relatively poorly understood. Approach: Therefore, an experimental model of intestinal anaphylaxis was needed to approach the problem. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the parenteral sensitization to whey proteins through immune response and local intestine inflammation … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,126 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMetals Concentrations in Tissues of Tilapia gallier, Crarias lazera and Osteoglossidae Caught from Alau Dam, Maiduguri, Borno State, NigeriaG.A. Dimari, F.I. Abdulrahman, J.C. Akan, S.T. GarbaAn analysis of intestine, liver, stomach and gill tissue concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Co, Pb, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cd and Zn) in three commercially important fish species (Tilapia gallier, Crarias lazera and Osteoglossidae. caught within Alau Dam between the periods of January to August, 2007. These heavy metals were determined using Perkin-Elmer AAnalyst 300 Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,485 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Alloxan-Diabetes on Gastrin-Releasing Peptide (GRP) Immunoreactivity in the Gastrointestinal Tract, of Sprague Dawley Rats and How This May Affect Some of the Diabetic ComplicationsEdward O. Uche-Nwachi, Camille V. MitchellGastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) is the mammalian analogue of bombesin. Both neuroendocrine peptides have similar distribution, functions and immunoreactivity. The immunoreactivity for GRP has been demonstrated in the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. This peptide is reported to have various biological and pharmacological properties, which include the release of gastrointestinal hormones, control of satiety, gastrointestinal motility and stimulation of cellular proliferation … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunohistochemistry Assay to Detect Turkey Coronavirus (TCoV) from Experimentally Infected PoultsThais Larissa L Castanheira, Heitor F. Ferrari, Maria Cecília R. Luvizotto, Tereza C. CardosoThe objective of this study was to develop a direct immunohistochemical assay to detect TCoV antigens in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections prepared from experimentally infected poults. The sections of ileo, ileo-cecal junction and ceca regions from intestine were prepared and submitted to two different primary antibodies, first the non-biotin labeled polyclonal antibody for the indirect method, and second the biotin-labeled polyclonal … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtein Molecular Structures, Protein SubFractions, and Protein Availability Affected by Heat Processing: A ReviewPeiqiang YuThe utilization and availability of protein depended on the types of protein and their specific susceptibility to enzymatic hydrolysis (inhibitory activities) in the gastrointestine and was highly associated with protein molecular structures. Studying internal protein structure and protein subfraction profiles leaded to an understanding of the components that make up a whole protein. An understanding of the molecular structure of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,286 accessesView PDFCite
