Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRELATIONSHIPS AMONG INDICATORS OF FITNESS, FATNESS AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK FACTORS IN ADOLESCENTSRobert Malina, Stephen-Mark Cooper, John Young et al.In adults, fatness and low cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with a higher prevalence of chronic disease risk and mortality. The association between measures of physical fitness and fatness upon cardiovascular risk in youth, however, is less clear. The effects of adiposity and physical fitness upon cardiovascular disease risk factors in youth are receiving increasing attention but studies that have examined … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2012 · 8,114 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Hyypoglycemic and Hypolipidemic Activity of Nyctanthes Arbortristis Linn against Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic RatsKrishna Murti, Manish Kaushik, Aditi KaushikProblem statement: The present study was aimed to explore the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activity of Nyctanthes arbortristis linn roots against Streptozotocin (STZ) induced experimental rats. Approach: Ethanolic extract of roots of Nyctanthes arbortristis was administered to streptozotocin induced rats.Glibenclamide was used as a standard drug. Blood glucose levels were determined after oral administration of a dose of Nyctanthes arbortristis (200 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2012 · 7,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVitamin C Alleviates Chronic Chlorpyrifos Induced Alterations in Serum Lipids and Oxidative Parameters in Male Wistar RatsS. F. Ambali, M. Shittu, J. O. Ayo et al.Problem statement: Although the increase incidence of cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes mellitus has been attributed to changing life style, the role of environmental contaminants is currently being given considerable attention. Pesticides, including Organophosphate (OP) insecticides are one of the most pervasive environmental contaminants that are deliberately released into the environment. Chlorpyrifos (CPF), a widely used OP insecticide has been … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2012 · 7,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomarkers of Oxidative DNA Damage and Soluble Fas/Fas Ligand in Type 2 Diabetic PatientsMohamed H. Mahfouz, Ibrahim A. Emara, Ghada A. OmarProblem statement: Involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications has been proposed. 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) has been reported to serve as a new sensitive biomarker of the oxidative DNA damage in vivo. Apoptosis via Fas/Fas Ligand (FasL) interactions has been proposed to be a major T-cell-mediated effector mechanism in autoimmune diabetes. This study was undertaken to investigate whether … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2012 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnticonvulsant Effect of Pitavastatin in Mice Induced by PentylenetetrazoleKhayatnouri MirhadiProblem statement: The 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) have been unequivocally shown to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality by their lipid-lowering actions. It has been suggested that statins appear to have therapeutic benefits in diseases that are unrelated to elevated serum cholesterol levels. The aim of this study was to evaluation the effect of intraperitoneally injection of different doses of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,507 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Intraperitoneally Injection of Different Doses of Lovastatin on Pain and Inflammatory Response Induced by Formalin in MiceKhayatnouri MirhadiProblem statement: The 3-Hydroxy-3-Methyl Glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) have been unequivocally shown to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Their lipid-lowering actions are by reversible and competitive inhibition of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, a precursor of cholesterol. It has been suggested that statins appear to have therapeutic benefits in diseases that are unrelated to elevated serum cholesterol levels, such as … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,679 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary Inclusion of Probiotics, Prebiotics and Synbiotic and Evaluating Performance of Laying HensMohammad Zarei, Mohammad Ehsani, Mehran TorkiProblem Statement: This study was conduct to compare effects of various commercial feed additives on performance of laying hens. Approach: To evaluate effects of dietary inclusion of feed additives (Yeasturer, A-Max, Thepax, Fermacto and Biomin) on performance of laying hens, 216 Lohmann LSL-Lite hens were divided in 36 cages (n = 6). Approach Hens in 6 cages (replicates) were assigned … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 9,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Dietary Supplementation with Pumpkin oil (Cucurbita pepo) on Performance and Blood Fat of Broiler Chickens during Finisher PeriodHosna Hajati, Ahmad Hasanabadi, Park W. WaldroupProblem statement: Using most of antibiotic growth promoters as feed additives has been banned by the European Union due to cross-resistance against pathogens and residues in tissues; and scientists search for alternatives to antibiotics, two days. In this view, medicinal plants and essential oils extracted are becoming more important due to their antimicrobial and stimulating effects on animal digestive systems. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2011 · 9,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAmelioration of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase, Insulin like Growth Factor-1 Gene Expression and Insulin Receptor Substrate-1 in Liver Tissue of Insulin Resistant Rats Treated With L-CarnitineHala M. GhanemProblem statement: It has been reported that genes expression (inducible Nitric Oxide (iNOS). Insulin-like Growth Factor-1(IGF-1) have a role in both glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance. The aim of this study was designed to evaluate the amelioration of the iNOS, IGF-1 genes expression as well as IRS-1 in liver tissues of rats fed high fructose diet treated with Lcarnitine. Approach: … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Enzyme Supplementation on Performance, Carcass characteristics, Carcass Composition and Some Blood Parameters of Broiler ChickenH. HajatiProblem statement: Endogenous enzymes of broilers cannot adequately digest nonstarch polysaccharides and subsequently the ingestion of high levels of soluble NSP leads to increased digesta viscosity and reduced nutrient digestibility and absorption. Supplementation of NSPs degrading enzymes may remove the anti nutritive effects of NSPs and release some nutrients (starch, protein) from these elements. Therefore, in a completely randomized design … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,649 accessesView PDFCite
