Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Cinnamomum cassia Stem-Bark Extracts on the Synthesis and Secretion of Insulin in RIN-m5F CellsAnanias Hodi Kgopa, Sebolaishi Doris Makhubela, Motetelo Alfred Mogale, Leshweni Jerry ShaiCinnamomum cassia (C. cassia) crude stem-bark extracts possess some hypoglycemic properties through inhibiting the uptake of glucose by the intestines and/or enhancing insulin sensitivity. To further investigate the mechanism through which the hypoglycemic effect is exerted, this research explored the influence of the extracts of the crude stem-bark of C. cassia, with various polarities, on particular aspects of glucose consumption … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 5 Apr 2022 · 5,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMomordica balsamina Fruit Extracts Enhances Selected Aspects of the Insulin Synthesis/Secretion PathwayAnanias Hodi Kgopa, Leshweni Jerry Shai, Motetelo Alfred MogalePrevious studies have suggested that crude plant extracts of the anti-diabetic medicinal plant, Momordica balsamina (MB) may exert their anti-diabetic effect through either enhancement of insulin sensitivity or inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption. However, the effects of these MB extracts on insulin synthesis and secretion are not well documented in the literature. Therefore, a main purpose of the current research … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 17 Dec 2020 · 6,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBioengineering Assessment on Sloppy GroundMu'azu Mohammed Abdullahi, Nazri Bn Ali, Kamarudin Bn Haj AhmedProblem statement: Soft engineering solution of sloppy surface utilizes mechanical and hydrological effects of vegetation. The hydrological effects driven by transpiration, induces an increase in matric suction and consequently tension also increase along with the decrease of moisture. Therefore once the horizontal stress of the soil exceeds the limit of tensile strain of the soil cracks occurs. Approach: The negative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSimulation of Vegetative Induced Deformation in an Unsaturated SoilNazri Bn Ali, Mu’azu Mohammed AbdullahiProblem statement: Tree root water-uptake increases soil strength by increasing the soil matric suction due to pore pressure dissipation in a soil mass, inducing increases in vertical total stress or water extraction, the effective stress to which the soil strata is subjected to may also increase. This causes volume change which might be detrimental to geotechnical structures and shallow foundation. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEnhancing the Urea-N Use Efficiency in Maize (Zea mays) Cultivation on Acid Soils using Urea Amended with Zeolite and TSPOsumanu Haruna Ahmed, Aminuddin Hussin, Husni Mohd Hanif Ahmad et al.Problem Statement: Ammonia loss significantly reduces urea-N use efficiency in crop production. Efforts to reduce ammonia loss are laboratory oriented, as such limited in reflecting actual field conditions. This paper reports the effects of urea amended with triple superphosphate (TSP) and zeolite (Clinoptilolite) on soil pH, soil nitrate, soil exchangeable ammonium, dry matter production, N uptake, fresh cob production and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 8,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnalysis Plant Growth, Yield and Efficiency of Nitrogen Fertilization in Paddy using Green Manure of AzollaSetyono Yudo Tyasmoro, Akbar SaitamaThe development and improvement of cultivation techniques can be done to improve soil fertility; one of the techniques is the application of organic matter. This research intends to study the interaction between Azolla application treatments with different doses of inorganic fertilizers and find out the appropriate dose of Azolla for inorganic fertilizers. This study was conducted in the experimental field … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2023 · 6,532 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Sorbitol Calcium Chelate on Yield and Calcium Nutrient Absorption of PeanutChang Liu, Yupeng Li, Wentao Huo et al.Sorbitol has the effect of promoting nutrient absorption, so it has the potential to produce excellent fertilizers. In this study, sorbitol calcium chelate was synthesized using sorbitol as the chelating agent. The effects of sorbitol calcium chelate on peanut were investigated, with the goal of promoting peanut yield and improving the utilization of calcium fertilizer. Field experiments were carried out … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 19 Apr 2021 · 7,365 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Bioaccumulation and Detoxification Mechanism of Neodymium on the Shoot of Rice SeedlingsKailun Shi, Cheng Kun Liu, Keliang Lyu et al.Neodymium (Nd) potentially pollutes environment for its wide usage in agriculture and industry. In this study, the chemical forms of Nd and effect of Nd on rice shoots were studied after rice seedlings were exposed with 0, 1, 10, 100 and1000 μM Nd. The higher concentration of Nd inhibited shoot growth, but the lower concentration of Nd induced shoot growth. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2021 · 6,291 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInduction of Caspase-dependant Apoptosis by Enterovirus 70 in Human Lens Epithelial SRA01/04 CellsDequan Chen, Chris Duggan, Donald E. Texada et al.Enterovirus 70 (EV70), an etiological agent of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC), induces apoptosis in human Chang’s conjunctival (HCC) cells. EV70 is also able to infect and replicate in some other human cells such as human lens epithelial SRA01/04 cells and U937 cells. EV70 infection was found to induce apoptosis in SRA01/04 cells. During EV70-induced apoptosis of SRA01/04 cells, the expression … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,636 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvances in Modern Biotechnological Tools for Sustainable Control of Plant Viral DiseasesNabela Akter, Ankita Saha, Md. Abdullah Al Sabbir, Md. Motaher HossainPlant viruses pose a major threat to global food production, causing yield losses across many staple and horticultural crops. Conventional breeding for resistance is typically slow and constrained by the number of available natural resistance genes. Recent breakthroughs in biotechnology have enabled the development of accurate, flexible, and environmentally friendly technologies to confer virus resistance.
