Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVED PREDICTION FOR MEDIUM OPTIMIZATION USING FACTORIAL SCREENING FOR DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID PRODUCTION BY SCHIZOCHYTRIUM SP. SW1Vidyah Manikan, Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Mohd Hafez Mohd Isa, Aidil Abdul HamidDocosa Hexaenoic Acid (DHA) is an essential fatty acid that plays major role in human health. It is typically extracted from fatty fish and this puts pressure on global fish stock. DHA obtained from fish is also prone to contamination. Schizochytrium is a potential alternative source, having the ability of accumulating considerable amounts of DHA. Modification of medium components and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 15 Jan 2014 · 7,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractREMEDIAL EFFECTS OF VITAMIN E AND L-ARGININE ON PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY IN STREPTOZOTOCIN-INDUCED DIABETIC RATSIsmaeel Bin-Jaliah, Samah El-Attar, Eman F. Khaleel et al.It was shown that hyperglycemia in diabetic patients is the main factor of diabetic peripheral neuropathies. Various pathways related to oxidative stress, vascular defect and defective endothelium dependent relaxation have been implicated in the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. A substantial number of studies have shown that antioxidant treatment are promising therapeutics that can prevent or correct reduced motor nerve … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2013 · 8,041 accessesView PDFCite
