Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Salivary Electrolytes during Normal Menstrual Cycle with Special Reference to OvulationS. Alagendran, Govindaraju Archunan, Enrique Orozco Bonnila Armando, Rosalinda Guevara GuzmanThere is evidence to imply that estrogen influences salivary electrolytes activity in women. Problem statement: In this study we investigated changes in sodium, potassium and inorganic phosphorus, calcium and magnesium which related to find out the precise day of ovulation. These changes might help to explain the fluctuation of ovarian hormones such as preovulatory estrogen surge. Approach: Human whole saliva … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,805 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Polyoxypregnane Glycoside from the Roots of Dregea volubilis (L.f) Benth. ex Hook. f and its Chondroprotective EffectSaksri Sanyacharernkul, Akanit Itghiarbha, Prachya Kongtawelert et al.Problem statement: Dregea genus (Asclepiadaceae) is well known for the rich of steroid pregnane contents and these plants are famous for the potential to be applied as alternative biological activities. Dregea volubilis is the only species of Dregea genus in Thailand. The chemical and biological investigations of this plant are interesting to bioassay-guided fractionation, particularly chondroprotective effect. Approach: The research … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTopical Cyclosporine A in Corneal Graft RejectionMahmood Nejabat, Jafar Khoshghadam, Masoomeh Eghtedari, Hamid HosseiniCorneal graft rejection is now the most common cause of graft failure after penetrating keratoplasty. This study was designed to determine whether, addition of 2% topical cyclosporine (CSA) to local and systemic steroids in treatment of endothelial corneal allograft rejection, would improve the outcome. A prospective randomized treatment trial was carried out on 40 consecutive corneal graft recipients, presenting with … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAndrogen Receptor in Macrophages of Male Rat is Greater Than in FemaleKazem Ahmadi, Alan B. McCrudenThe presence and possible sex differences of androgen receptor in peritoneal macrophages was investigated using immunomagnetic beads. Macrophages were incubated with different concentrations of [3H]-5αDHT in the presence or absence of a 100 fold excess of unlabelled 5α-DHT. Labelled cells were separated from unbound steroid by immunomagnetic beads coated with anti-rat macrophage antibody. The binding identified in the rat macrophages … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,830 accessesView PDFCite
