Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Bovine Cartilage on the Growth of Mouse B16F10 Melanoma Cells in vitro and in vivoArax Tanelian, Dalal F. Jaber, Nayla S. Al Akl, Alexander M. AbdelnoorEarlier reports indicated that Bovine Cartilage (BC) had anti-tumor effects but only a few in vitro and in vivo investigations were conducted to assess its mechanism of action. The aim of this study was to investigate some of the proposed mechanisms of action of BC on mouse melanoma cells both in vitro and in vivo and to determine if its … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2016 · 7,491 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of a Mushroom (Coriolus versicolor) Based Probiotic on Goat HealthKingsley Ekwemalor, Emmanuel Asiamah, Sarah Adjei-Fremah, Mulumebet WorkuMaintenance of an adequate immune response is essential to goat health. CorPet biomass is a mushroom (Coriolus versicolor) based probiotic used as an immune-stimulant in man, horses and small animals. Fifteen BoerXSpanish goats were used in a crossover design to evaluate the effect of a commercial mushroom based probiotic across two periods on resilience of goats to gastrointestinal parasites in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 4 Oct 2016 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBinding Interaction between Bovine Serum Albumin and Chicoric Acid, a Food Functional ComponentHaifang Xiao, Quancai Sun, Xuebo Liu, Yuanda SongFuorescence, FTIR and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy were used to explore the binding between chicoric acid and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). Binding characteristics at various levels of temperature have been calculated. The results indicated that chicoric acid statically quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA. The binding constants (Ka) were 4.14×105 L mol-1 at 273K and 4.29×106 L mol-1 at 298 k. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2016 · 7,556 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBinding Mechanism of Bovine Serum Albumin to Troxerutin by Synchronous Fluorescence Spectroscopy and ChemometricsTianhu Wang, Yi Yan, Yinsheng LuoPrevious works have reported the binding of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) to troxerutin by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. In order to extend the investigation of their binding characteristics, the study presented here was designed to evaluate their interaction by the synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and Multivariate Curve Resolution With Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS) under simulative physiological conditions. The Evolving Factor Analysis … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 14 May 2016 · 7,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of Immunological Responses by Dietary Arthrospira platensis and Possibility of Field Applications as Alternative to Antibiotics in Broiler ChickenShinsuke Katayama, Yumi Kayahara, Tomoko WatanabeArthrospira platensis is one of the candidates expected to replace antibiotics by its immunostimulatory effects in broiler industry, but the evaluation aimed at field applications is not enough. Here, we measured general immunological indicators such as specific antibody responses against sheep red blood cell and Brucella abortus, serum immunoglobulin concentrations and monocyte phagocytic capacity of broiler chickens, which assigned to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2016 · 7,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Acute Bronchiolitis on Cardiac Functions and Serum microRNA-122 and 499Mona Abd El-Gelel Mohamed, Khalid Mahmoud ZayedBronchiolitis is an acute inflammatory injury of the bronchioles that is usually caused by a viral infection, most commonly Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). This study aimed to verify the direct injurious effect of acute bronchiolitis on the myocardium and serum level of microRNA-122 and 499 (miR-122 and miR-499) of infected infants. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine phosphokinase-isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2016 · 7,259 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation of Oxytocin (OTR) and Estrogen Receptor (ER) mRNA in the Canine Placenta with the Detected Circulating Levels of Oxytocin and Estrogen during Pregnancy and ParturitionGisele Almeida Lima Veiga, Marcella Pecora Milazzotto, Marcilio Nichi et al.Placenta is considered an important endocrine organ during gestation, as well as can also serve as a target organ for sex steroids and pituitary hormones, mainly for the cascade of events that trigger parturition. In order to initiate studies on the canine placental endocrinology regarding estrogen and oxytocin, the present study verified the correlation among the Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2015 · 8,277 accessesView PDFCite
