Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioactive Factors of Colostrum and Human Milk Exhibits a Day-Night VariationNubia Andrade Silva, Adenilda Cristina Honorio-Franca, Fernanda Regina Giachini et al.The aim of this study was to determine the chronobiological variations of cytokines (IFN-γ, TGF-β) and hormones (melatonin and cortisol). The sample was collected from 42 mothers at three stages of maturity-day 3 (colostrum), day 10 (transitional milk) and day 30 (mature milk) postpartum, at two times of day: diurnal (12:00 h) and nocturnal (24:00 h), resulting a total of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2013 · 8,190 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Leptospirosis on the Concentrations of Streptomycin in Liver and Kidneys of PigsLabrini V. Athanasiou, Vassilios Papatsiros, George Valiakos et al.Leptospirosis is a re-emerging infectious disease with zoonotic potential. Pigs are reservoir hosts of the pathogen and streptomycin is among the antibiotics proposed to eliminate leptospiral infection. The purpose of this study was to determine streptomycin concentrations and the possible effect of the presence of Leptospira in the liver and kidneys on drug distribution. Six pigs with leptospirosis and six … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2013 · 7,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Some Heavy Metals in Some Morpho-Physiological Parameters in Maize SeedlingsSali Aliu, Bekim Gashi, Imer Rusinovci et al.Nowadays the heavy-metal pollution of the soil is causing ever greater problems, exacerbated by the fact that the heavy metals accumulated in plants may, either directly or indirectly, find their way into animals and human beings. Maize is one of the world’s most important crops, ranking third after wheat and rice, so the changes induced by one of the most … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 8,432 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHair Lead Bio-Monitoring Among School Children in the Province of Cavite, PhilippinesJanet P. Macawile, Glenn L. Sia SuAirborne lead is one of the pressing environmental problems that cause neuropsychological impairments to people who are exposed to it. In assessing people’s exposure to airborne lead, bio-monitoring techniques has been used as an indicator of chemical exposure. This study aims to determine the hair lead concentrations among school children in the province of Cavite and compare the hair lead … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 22 Jan 2013 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrace Elements Distribution in the Brain of Stressed RatsZerrouk Kamal, Mohamed Najimi, Mohammed Chigr et al.Because of their ability to modulate the Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) a receptor complex, the principal aim of the current work is to assess two essential heavy metals: Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) by atomic absorption in different brain areas of stressed rats. To do so, we investigated the effect of acute immobilization stress (single 1-hour session) on the distribution … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 14 Sep 2012 · 7,288 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metal Contamination of Soils and Water Resources Kettara Abandoned MineManuel Valiente, Gustavo Perez, Marta Avila et al.Problem statement: Metal mining; together with mineral smelting and processing, have contaminated the environment surrounding mine areas throughout the world exceeding natural background concentration. Approach: These processes introduce metal contaminants into the environment through gaseous and particulate emissions, waste liquids and solid wastes. The principal objective of this study was to investigate soil and water contamination in the vicinity of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 8 May 2012 · 8,835 accessesView PDFCite
