Approach: Subjects were 10 untrained male Medical University students who … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,886 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImpact of L-Carnitine and Cinnamon on Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Expression in Heart and Brain of Insulin Resistant RatsMona A. MohamedProblem statement: Evaluate the effects of daily administration of L-carnitine and cinnamon extract for two weeks on the expression of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) genes in cardiac and brain tissues of rats with Insulin Resistance (IR). Approach: Rats were divided into 4 groups (8 animals each): Group (1) rats fed control diet (60% starch) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTransforming Growth Factor-β: An Indirect Inducer of Th17 Cell Differentiation both in Human and Murine SystemJ. SchumannSince their first description only some years ago Th17 cells have become of vital importance in immunological research. However, the role of TGF-β in Th17 cell development is still a matter of controversial discussion. Predicted to have a key function in Th17 cell differentiation in the mouse TGF-β was shown to inhibit IL-17 production of human CD4+ T cells. Moreover, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,575 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGreatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple Matrices on Factor Closed Sets in a Principal Ideal DomainA. N. El-Kassar, S. S. Habre, Y. A. AwadProblem statement: Let T be a set of n distinct positive integers, x1, x2, ..., xn. The n×n matrix [T] having (xi, xj), the greatest common divisor of xi and xj, as its (i,j)-entry is called the greatest common divisor (GCD) matrix on T. The matrix [[T]] whose (i,j)-entry is [xi, xj], the least common multiple of xi and xj, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,379 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePower Series Solution for a Two-step Reactive-diffusive Equation with Variable Pre-exponential FactorE.A. Adebile, O.K. Koriko, U.S. IdiongWe discussed in this research a power series method for solution of a two-step reactive-diffusive equation with variable pre-exponential factor. A transformation was used to fit in the geometry of the model to allow an asymptotic series expansion which is invoked in a two compartmental regions with respect to the spatial variable. Adequate matching conditions were used at the interface … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,851 accessesView PDFCite
