Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvidence of Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Autism and Implications for TreatmentDaniel A. Rossignol, J. Jeffrey BradstreetClassical mitochondrial diseases occur in a subset of individuals with autism and are usually caused by genetic anomalies or mitochondrial respiratory pathway deficits. However, in many cases of autism, there is evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction (MtD) without the classic features associated with mitochondrial disease. MtD appears to be more common in autism and presents with less severe signs and symptoms. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 16,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAltered Sulfur Amino Acid Metabolism In Immune Cells of Children Diagnosed With AutismJung H. Suh, William J. Walsh, Woody R. McGinnis et al.Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a behaviorally defined neurodevelopmental disorder whose etiology is poorly understood. Recent studies have shown that autistic children may be experiencing increased inflammation and oxidative stress. Altered immune regulation may be one contributing factor to inflammation and oxidative stress in autistic children. Sulfur amino acid (SAA) metabolism plays a critical role in regulating blood leukocyte functions … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 10,789 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImportance of blood gas measurements in perinatal asphyxia and alternatives to restore the acid base balance status to improve the newborn performanceH. Orozco-Gregorio, D. Mota-Rojas, M. Alonso-Spilsbury et al.Prolonged or intermittent asphyxia in utero and during farrowing weakens piglets and renders them less capable of adaptation to extrauterine life. Piglets with lesser viability at birth have increased blood pCO2 and blood lactic acid concentrations and decreased blood pH. Moreover, the ability to thermoregulate during an acute cold stress is inversely related to umbilical blood lactate concentrations. Blood gas … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Heat Shock Transcription Factor Family in Entamoeba histolyticaConsuelo G. García, Ma. De la Luz Macias Argüelles, D. Guillermo P Ishiwara et al.The HSTF is a master molecule involved in the transcriptional control of several genes during different types of stress. This transcription factor is a very conserved protein identified in different organisms from bacterial to human. Entamoeba histolytica is the protozoan responsible for the human amoebiasis. This parasite is exposed to different kind of stress as changes in the pH, temperature, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,182 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Properties and Dose-Dependent Effects of Monkey Fruits (Artocarpus lakoocha) against Paracetamol-Induced Hepato-Renal Toxicity in RatsMd. Yousuf Ali, Md. Reaz Morshed, Md. Sakib Hossen et al.In this study, the antioxidant potentials and protective effect of ethanolic extract of monkey fruits (Artocarpus lakoocha) (AL) was investigated against paracetamol-induced toxicity in rats. AL which contains high concentration of polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins and protein, exhibited high radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power. Administration of paracetamol (500 mg/kg) for seven consecutive days caused severe oxidative stress in … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2018 · 8,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Flaxseed Supplementation on Lipid Metabolism, Oxidative Balance and Genetic Damage in GoatsMaria Eugenia Cecchini, Dardo Roma, Franco Magnago et al.Epidemiological evidence indicates that flaxseed reduces oxidative stress and cholesterol levels in blood. In this study we evaluated the lipid profile, oxidation of plasma lipids and genetic damage in goats fed on a diet supplemented with flaxseed. Thirteen adult male goats were split in two experimental groups; one of them was fed on a conventional diet of alfalfa and ground … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 22 May 2018 · 7,657 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR): A Novel Agent for Sustainable Food ProductionOdoh Chuks Kenneth, Eze Chibuzor Nwadibe, Akpi Uchenna Kalu, Unah Victor UnahPlant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) involves the use of large array of soil bacteria to improve yield, plant growth and sustainable food production. As free living and symbiotic rhizobacteria, PGPR exert its role by colonizing extracellular and/or intracellular rhizoenvironment in the quest for carbon source. In the past decades, focus has been on developing a biosafety agro base approach void … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 19 Apr 2018 · 14,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHepatoprotective Effect of Vitamin EElias Adikwu, Brambaifa NelsonDrugs and some chemical agents are known to induce hepatotoxicity in humans which is of great concern to clinicians. Chemical agents are been screen daily for their hepatoprotective properties. Among these chemical agents is vitamin E which has drawn wide attention due to it reported hepatoprotective property as reported by researchers. This study collected and evaluated reports to ascertain the … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 15 Mar 2013 · 8,003 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicroanatomy and Histochemistry of the Salt Glands of the Kentish Plover, Charadrius alexandrines (Aves, Charadriidae)Bashir M. JarrarProblem statement: Histological and histochemical investigations on the salt glands of birds are very limited. The present study was performed to characterize the microanatomy and histochemistry of the salt glands of the Kentish plover (Charadrius alexandrines). Approach: Salt glands of the bird under study were fixed, dehydrated, cleared, impregnated and blocked out by paraffin wax. Paraffin sections were utilized in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntrinsically Unstructured Proteins: Potential Targets for Drug DiscoveryPathan Salma, Chintan Chhatbar, Sriram SeshadriProblem statement: The function of a protein is dependent on its three-dimensional structure. However, numerous proteins lacking intrinsic globular 3D structure under physiological conditions had been recognized. These proteins are frequently involved in some of the most critical cellular control mechanisms and it appears that their rapid turnover, aided by their unstructured nature in the unbound state, provides a level … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
