Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractZinc Deficiency and Associated T-Cell Dysfunctioning among Human Immunodeficiency Virus SeropositivesM. Andrew Pradeep, M. Thiruvalluvan, V. Nalini, J. Stella MaryProblem statement: All the nutrients in the diet play a crucial role in maintaining an optimal immune response. In both, deficient and excessive intake of nutrients can have negative consequence on the immune status and susceptibility to a variety of pathogens. Zinc is an essential micronutrient for human growth development and immune function. It plays a vital role in structure … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,037 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Garcinia Atroviridis on Oxidative Stress and Atherosclerotic Changes in Experimental Guinea PigsAdel. A. Amran, Zaiton Zakaria, Faizah Othman, Paden MoratProblem statement: Oxidative stress plays a major role in hypercholesterolemia induced atherosclerosis. Garcinia atroviridis has been shown to exhibit antioxidant properties. Approach: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Garcinia atroviridis on the oxidative stress in guinea pigs fed with high cholesterol diet. Twenty-four male Guinea pigs were divided into four groups. Group I served as control while … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiation Induced DNA Double Strand Break Studies of a Metal Sensitive Novel Bacterial Isolate from East Calcutta WetlandSanhita Chowdhury, Anindita Chakraborty, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriProblem statement: This study was an attempt to isolate anaerobic microbes with potential for DNA double strand break repair using methanogen specific medium (DSMZ 120) from East Calcutta Wetland in India. It also intended to verify the specificity of the medium for isolation of the desired family of microbe. Approach: Culture based technique was used to obtain the pure isolate … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLack of Association of Glutathione S-transferase Gene Polymorphisms in Iranian Prostate Cancer SubjectsB. Sahar Ansari, R. Vasudevan, M. Mirinargesi et al.Problem statement: Glutathione S-transferase is super family genes that encode enzymes which involve in the detoxification of the cell and protects DNA from damage. Conflicting results was found in several studies in association with GSTT1 and GSTM1 gene polymorphisms and prostate cancer. In this study, we determined the association between the GSTT1 and GSTM1 gene polymorphism and prostate cancer in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,273 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBridging from Cells to Cognition in Autism Pathophysiology: Biological Pathways to Defective Brain Function and PlasticityMatthew P. Anderson, Brian S. Hooker, Martha R. HerbertWe review evidence to support a model where the disease process underlying autism may begin when an in utero or early postnatal environmental, infectious, seizure, or autoimmune insult triggers an immune response that increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the brain that leads to DNA damage (nuclear and mitochondrial) and metabolic enzyme blockade and that these inflammatory and oxidative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 17,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Triggers for Intervention in Aging, Disease and TraumaJoan Smith SonnebornHormesis refers to the ability of a chemical or physical agent to condition the physiological state of an organism to tolerate stress with low doses of otherwise harmful agents. Evolutionary evidence shows that the survival and longevity of species hinge on their optimal ability to resist stress challenge. Hormesis is a potent strategy to stimulate latent repair processes to tolerate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,895 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenotoxic Profile of Motor Garage WorkersNandan M. Shastri, Hemlata PantProblem statement: One way to study the effects on an exposed population is to conduct monitoring studies, using relevant biological parameters with a short term manifestation, such as cytogenetic analysis express the damages to the DNA or to the chromosomes resulting from exposure can be identified. The present study was thus designed to elucidate the effect motor garage environment on … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 15 Oct 2011 · 8,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of HCV Components and Pathological Reactions in Apoptotic Hepatocytes from Chronically HCV-infected PatientsViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.Analysis of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-infected hepatocytes at the cellular level may contribute to elucidate the mechanisms of HCV pathogenesis. In this work, the presence of HCV components and pathological reactions in apoptotic hepatocytes from chronic HCV-infected patients were studied by electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Eight samples of liver biopsies from patients with chronic hepatitis C were studied by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite
