Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeciation of Arsenic Across Water-Sediment Interface of Falgu RiverRajeeva Ranjan, Rekha Rani, Ashay Bavishi et al.Two predominant species of arsenic compounds, As(III) and As(V), are found in soils and natural water and they have been classified as carcinogens. The focus of the present study was to examine the speciation of Arsenic (As) across the water-sediment interface at the confluence of drainage for Gaya city and the Falgu River. Gas Chromatography (GC) coupled to Inductively Coupled … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2012 · 6,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary Effects of Magnesium on Histamine Metabolism and Urine Acidity in Domestic FelinesSarah K. Martin, David L. Harmon, Charlotte E. Conway et al.Magnesium deficiency has been associated with increased histamine production in rats. Limitation of Mg with acidifying foods is common practice for management of urinary tract health in domestic cats. Nine healthy adult female shorthair cats were used in a 3 period random crossover experiment with fixed treatment sequences to test the effects of dietary Mg (0.06, 0.12 and 0.18% DM) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Dec 2012 · 8,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasma Fatty Acid Profile of Gestating Ewes Supplemented with FishmealMamun M. Or-Rashid, Rebecca Fisher, Niel Karrow et al.Problem statement: The very long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (>18C) cannot be adequately synthesized by ruminant tissues to meet their requirements; therefore, their concentration in body depends on the supply through feed. It may be possible to improve the essential fatty acid status of ruminant animals, during gestation by manipulating the maternal diet with Fishmeal (FM). The objectives of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPalmitate-Induced Translocation of Caveolin-3 and Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase in CardiomyocytesCatherine J. Knowles, Megan Dionne, Martina Cebova, Ilka M. PinzProblem statement: Palmitate is a known cardiac lipotoxin that blunts cardiomyocyte contractile function and induces apoptosis, likely via accumulation of the lipotoxic ceramide. Ceramide is a sphingolipid and localizes to caveolae, which are lined in the inner membrane leaflet by caveolin proteins. In this study, we investigated the effects of palmitate on caveolin proteins and on endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2011 · 7,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearch in the Improvement of Wettability of Micro-Structure in Patterned ElectrodepositionLi Guangyang, Wang Hong, Yuan Yang et al.Problem statement: The high aspect-ratio electrodeposition was widely used in the manufacture of non-silicon MEMS devices. The wetting of high aspect-ratio micro-structure in electrolyte was important to the uniformity of micro-structure. Approach: In this study, to enhance the wettability of micro-structures in electrolyte, the effect of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) and O2 plasma surface modification were discussed. Contact Angles (CA) … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2011 · 7,275 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUncommon Toxicologic Profile at Toxic Doses of CPI-613 (an Agent Selectively Alters Tumor Energy Metabolism) in Rats and Minipigs Reflects Novel MechanismClaudia Maturo, King C. Lee, Robert Rodriguez, Robert ShorrProblem statement: CPI-613 is a novel anticancer agent and the toxicological profile has not been assessed. Accordingly, the objective of these studies was to thoroughly evaluate the Toxicokinetic (TK) effects of CPI-613 in rats and to compare the toxicological profile of rats to minipigs to determine if there were differences between the two animal species. Approach: These studies involved assessments … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Jun 2011 · 9,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Rumen Acid Load on Postpartum Performance and Blood Metabolic Responses in Transition Holstein CowsSadjad Danesh Mesgaran, Alireza Vakili, Alireza Heravi Moosavi, Ghasem KoolabadiProblem statement: The transition period is the most stressful time in the production cycle of a dairy cow because of depressed feed intake, endocrine and metabolic changes at parturition. The aim was to determine the effect of rumen acid load on postpartum performance and metabolic parameters in transition Holstein cows. Approach: The Acidogenicity Values (AV) of the diets were determined … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 May 2011 · 7,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of a Prophylactic Dose of Ibuprofen on Plasma Level of Interleukin 1, Interleukin 6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha in a 1500 m Running PracticeGholamreza Sepehri, Mohammad Pourranjbar, Ghollam-Reza Moshtaghi-Kashanian et al.Problem statement: there are controversies about the effects of anti-inflammatory drugs on exercised induced changes on plasma cytokines in untrained male athletes, so the primary purpose of this study was to measure the influence of a prophylactic dose of ibuprofen use on plasma cytokines during a 1500 m running race. 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 accessIn the abstractEffects of Race Distance on Physical, Hematological and Biochemical Parameters of Endurance HorsesLawan Adamu, Noraniza Mohd Adzahan, Rasedee Abdullah, Bashir AhmadProblem statement: Endurance horses are generally exposed to severe stress during endurance competitions. These horses are however conditioned to cover the long distances of the competitions at moderate speeds. Approach: This study was conducted in Malaysia to determine the post-race hematological, blood electrolyte and biochemical and physical parameters of horses of 40, 80 and 120 km endurance race categories and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2010 · 9,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Metabolite Combinations Produced by Lactobacillus plantarum on Plasma Cholesterol and Fatty Acids in PigletsT. V. Thu, Loh Teck Chwen, H. L. Foo et al.Problem statement: Hypercholesterol and fatty acids in plasma are the main causes for cardiovascular disease. Reduction of risk factors from diet that associated with cardiovascular disease has much attention in animals as well as in human.
