Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCardiovascular Effect of Capparis spinosa Aqueous Extract. Part III: Antihypertensive Effect in Spontaneously Hypertensive RatsZeggwagh Naoufel Ali, Mohamed Eddouks, Jean Baptiste Michel et al.This study aims to evaluate the hypotensive activity of Capparis spinosa aqueous extract (CSAE) in spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats. CSAE was lyophilised and administrated daily at a dose of 150 mg kg-1 for 20 days. CSAE administration produced a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure after eight days of oral administration (p 0.05) after 20 days of oral administration. We … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 9,327 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractColourimetric Determination of Phospholipase Activities in Balamuthia mandrillarisSyed Razi HaiderBalamuthia mandrillaris is a recently identified protozoan pathogen that can cause fatal granulomatous encephalitis however the pathogenesis and pathophysiology associated with Balamuthia encephalitis remain unclear. We have recently isolated B. mandrillaris from a 33-years old male who died of encephalitis. Using this isolate, we demonstrated for the first time that B. mandrillaris exhibited phospholipase activities. More specifically, B. mandrillaris exhibited … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLimits and Opportunities for Autonomous User Organisations in Denmark and SwedenJørgen AnkerThe Nordic welfare states generally support and facilitate the formation of civil society organisations and they provide relatively good opportunities for participation and interest mediation. The Nordic welfare states are also recognised for their efforts to limit social inequality and for seeking to provide acceptable living conditions even for the most vulnerable and excluded groups. This article focuses on the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,752 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNaloxone benzoylhydrazone activates Extracellular Signal-Regulated Protein Kinases and modulates Nociceptin Opioid Peptide Receptor activityDeepak R. Thakker, Ghazi F. Altememi, Chitra D. Mandyam et al.Naloxone benzoylhydrazone (NalBzoH) is often used as a nociceptin opioid peptide (NOP) receptor antagonist. However, NalBzoH is also a mixed μ antagonist/κ and δ opioid agonist and its actions at the NOP receptor range from an antagonist to partial agonist, depending on the effector response/system studied. We now report that NalBzoH activates endogenously expressed κ3 opioid, but not NOP, receptors … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAqueous Extract of Inonotus bliquus (Fr.) Pilat (Hymenochaetaceae) Significantly Inhibits the Growth of Sarcoma 180 by Inducing ApoptosisCaifa Chen, Weifa Zheng, Xiaowen Gao et al.Inonotus obliquus (Fr.) Pilat (Hymenochaetaceae) has been widely used as a folk medicine to treat various cancers in Russia, Poland and most of Baltic countries for literally more than four centuries. However, in spite of its therapeutic significance for cancers, this fungus has not been studied systematically for the mechanisms of antitumor activity. In this study, we report the effects … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 21,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWound Healing Process of Uncomplicated “Rusterholz” Ulcer, Following Treatment by Wooden Block and Hoofgel® in Bovine Hoof: Histopathological AspectsH. Azarabad, I. Nowrouzian, E. Soleymani et al.A broad and very detailed histopathological knowledge on cutaneous wound healing particularly in human skin is available, but few studies have documented this event in bovine claw sole ulcers. It seems the mechanism of wound healing might be basically the same followed by second intention healing which is finished in a period of time by formation of granulation tissue in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,847 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLQ-Moments: Application to the Log-Normal distributionAni Shabri, Abdul A. JemainMudolkar and Hutson (1998) extended L-moments to new moment like entitles called LQmoments (LQMOM). The LQMOM are constructed by using functional defining the quick estimators, where the parameters of quick estimator take the values p = 0, α = 1 for the median, p = 1/4, α = 1/4 for the trimean and p = 0.3, α = 1/3 for … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Mechanisms for Altered Glucose Homeostasis in HIV InfectionPaula W. HruzA complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to HIV-associated insulin resistance remains elusive. Complex interrelationships between genetic predisposition, disease-related body changes and multidrug therapy all contribute to alterations in glucose homeostasis. These abnormalities can be differentiated between acute and reversible changes directly induced by HAART medications and more chronic and less reversible changes due to the development of lipodystrophy … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,877 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment on Biocides Bioaccumulation in Mullet Liza klunzingeri in Kuwaiti Waters, off the Arabian GulfA.H. Bu-Olayan, B. V. ThomasBiocides, such as formaldehyde (HCHO), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and glutaraldehyde (C5H8O2) that are commonly used in thermal, desalination and power plants and industries were tested on the commercially important mullet fish, Liza klunzingeri to determine the environmental contamination in the stressed ecosystem of Kuwait Bay sites. Multi-factor Probit analysis toxicity tests (96 h) on L. klunzingeri showed the lowest observed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstruction of a Glucose Biosensor by Immobilizing Glucose Oxidase within a Poly(o-phenylenediamine) Covered Screen-printed ElectrodeMiao Yuqing, Chen Jianrong, Wu XiaohuaThe glucose biosensors were prepared by the electropolymerization of the non-conductive polymer, Poly(o-phenylenediamine), onto a planar screen-printed electrode. A fabrication procedure was performed to decrease the waste of expensive enzyme. The amperometric glucose response was measured by the potensiostating of the prepared glucose biosensors at a potential of 0.3 V with ferrocene as mediator. Results show that the obtained biosensors … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,836 accessesView PDFCite
