Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAttenuated Superoxide Dismutase Induction in Retinal Cells in Response to Intermittent High Versus Continuous High GlucoseMichael A. Ihnat, Ronald C. Kaltreider, Jessica E. Thorpe et al.High glucose, particularly in oscillating conditions, produces an increase in oxidative stress and has been shown to result in an increase in diabetic complications, retinopathy in particular. The hypothesis of this work was that chronic exposure to intermittent high glucose results in an attenuated induction of an antioxidant response as compared to continuous high glucose exposure in isolated retinal cells … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,453 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Hydroxylated Compounds on Properties and Emission of Palm BiodieselRoila Awang, Choo Yuen MayThe Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) attempted the search for a viable alternative fuel leading to a possible substitution to the conventional diesel since 1982, using palm oil derived fuel. Numerous studies have shown that most exhaust emission encountered with conventional diesel fuel are reduced with biodiesel,with the exception of nitrogen oxides (NOx). This paper is reported on the effect … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,144 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Cost Long Distance Detector for Explosives and Chemical Analysis by IEC ApplicationGeorge H. Miley, Heinrich Hora, Frederick Osman et al.A radiation source for detecting specific chemicals at several meter distances even behind walls, car doors or other barriers is the application of Million electron Volts (MeV) neutrons from nuclear fusion reactions at such low intensities to avoid any danger for human bodies. The chemical analysis consists in the neutron activation of nuclei emitting then gamma radiation of lines very … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCiprofloxacin Does Not Exert Nephrotoxicity in RatsAsli Baykal, Figen Sarigül, G Süleymanlar et al.Ciprofloxacin, a member of the fluoroquinolone class, is an antibiotic used as a treatment for infections including the Anthrax bacteria. Studies concerning the safety and efficacy of ciprofloxacin have been controversial with respect to nephrotoxicity. Using rats orally treated with ciprofloxacin (400mg/kg/d), the effects of this drug were analyzed measuring several indications of nephrotoxicity: β-NAG, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Rhizobacterial Inoculation on Growth of the Sweetpotato CultivarY. Farzana, O. RadizahSweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is the most important of local tuber crops in Malaysia. It is usually planted on marginal soils such as peat and sandy soils. Malaysian consumes a lot of sweetpotato and its production requires high fertilizer input, which can lead to increased production cost and environment problems. The use of bio-fertilizer and bioenhancer such as N2 (nitrogen) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,869 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreased Production of Nitric Oxide Contributes to Renal Oxidative Stress in Endotoxemic RatBahar Tunçtan, Belma Korkmaz, Hatice Yıldırım et al.Overproduction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species leads to oxidative stress and decreased total antioxidant capacity, which is responsible for high mortality from several diseases such as endotoxic shock. Nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) during endotoxemia is the major cause of vascular hyporeactivity, hypotension and multiple organ failure. In this study, we investigated whether increased production … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 8,638 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmerging Contaminants in Agriculture and Ways to Reduce them Emerging Contaminants in AgricultureSandra Pérez-Álvarez, Eduardo Fidel Héctor Ardisana, Marco Antonio Magallanes-Tapia et al.The accelerated development of modern agriculture in order to feed a growing world population is one of the main causes of contamination in soil, water, and air, causing diseases in animals and humans. Among the most common pollutants are nitrogenous fertilizers, pesticides, hydrocarbons, and nanomaterials. As more food is produced, pollution increases, making it necessary the transition to sustainable agriculture, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 2 · 15 Mar 2023 · 5,803 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Status of Pollutants in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, China and its Ecological Health AssessmentChun-Jiao Lu, Dan Luo, Muhammad Junaid et al.The Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) stretches along the Yangtze River from Jiangjin District, Chongqing to Yichang, Hubei in China. Since TGRA is the main source of drinking water and fresh fishery in China for millions of people, both researchers and the government have concerns for environmental pollution and ecological security in the TGRA. This review highlighted the status and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 28 Sep 2016 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Those Up Regulate Klotho and Glutathione Peroxidase-1 Gene Expression Improve Renal Function in Rats with Acute Renal FailureFatma E. El-Gendey, Shabaan A. Hemeda, Gamal A. Sosa, Naglaa F. AlhusseiniAcute Renal Failure (ARF) has traditionally been defined as the abrupt and progressive loss of kidney functions resulting in the retention of urea and other nitrogenous waste products associated with interstitial inflammation, tubular injury and increasing Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF). Mortality in patients with ARF remains high >50% in severely ill patients. Klotho gene is a new anti-aging gene.
