Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProtection of Terminalia belerica Roxb. Against Iron Overload Induced Liver Toxicity: An Account of Its Reducing and Iron Chelating CapacityBibhabasu Hazra, Rhitajit Sarkar, Nripendranath MandalExcess iron deposition in the liver catalyses the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which in turn initiate oxidative damage of protein and nucleic acids leading to several human diseases. The fruits of Terminalia Belerica Roxb. (TB) has been most commonly used not only in stimulating gastrointestinal health, but also in treatment of various hepatic disorders. The present study was … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 20 Nov 2012 · 7,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImplications of Method Chosen for Analysis of Fatty Acids in Meat: A ReviewLivia Facuri Araujo Macedo, Ellen Cristina Quirino Lacerda, Roberio Rodrigues Silva et al.The influence of the beef Fatty Acid (FA) profile on human health, has become a recurring concern. For an analysis of the lipid composition of food, it is necessary that the complex lipids be quantified in a suitable form for subsequent analysis of their composition by gas chromatography. The choice of appropriate methods of lipid extraction and esterification of fatty … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,633 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Functional Effect of Kaempferia Parviflora on Ischemic Stroke in RatsWathita Phachonpai, Sinthuporn Maharun, Terdthai Tong-Un et al.Problem statement: Oxidative stress has been implicated as important factors in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia-induced behavioral deficits particularly memory. Growing attention is being paid to traditional medicinal plants possessing antioxidant activity, as they have been proved therapeutically/prophylactically fruitful against stroke condition. Present study provides evidence of the neroprotective effects of a Thai traditional herb, Kaempferia Parviflora (KP) extract, against … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 16 Mar 2012 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnticonvulsant Effect of Pitavastatin in Mice Induced by PentylenetetrazoleKhayatnouri MirhadiProblem statement: The 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) have been unequivocally shown to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality by their lipid-lowering actions. It has been suggested that statins appear to have therapeutic benefits in diseases that are unrelated to elevated serum cholesterol levels. The aim of this study was to evaluation the effect of intraperitoneally injection of different doses of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,507 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProtective Effect of Enicostemma littorale Blume Methanolic Extract on Gentamicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in RatsNiraj Mukundray Bhatt, Kinjal Chauhan, Sharad Gupta et al.Problem statement: The Amino glycoside antibiotics cause drug induced nephrotoxicity at therapeutic doses and thus limits the use clinically. Oxidative stress is one of the main reasons for the development of nephrotoxicity. Approach: In light of this the aim of the present study was to investigate the role of mitochondrial as well as post-mitochondrial oxidative stress in the development of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2011 · 9,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPotential, Implications and Solutions Regarding the Use of Rendered Animal Fats in AquafeedsJesse T. Trushenski, Rebecca T. LochmannProblem statement: In the past, aquafeeds were comprised largely of fish meal and fish oil derived from marine reduction fisheries. In addition to being highly palatable and readily digested by cultured fishes, these feedstuffs were historically inexpensive sources of protein, energy and essential nutrients. However, increasing cost and concerns over safety and sustainability have greatly incentivized the transition from fish … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 13,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEfficacy of Pravastatin in Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI) and Protease Inhibitor (PI)-based HAART in HIV-Infected PatientsSusan A. Eaton, Anita P. Rahman, Sean T. Nguyen et al.Pravastatin has generally been considered a safe and effective option for HIV-infected patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). However, pravastatin concentrations are known to significantly decrease with concomitant efavirenz (EFV) use. Currently there are no studies determining if these reductions in pravastatin possibly translate into an attenuation of its lipid lowering efficacy when used in HIV-infected patients on non-nucleoside … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMaize Oil Can Replace Fish Oil in The Diet of Grouper Postlarvae (Epinephelus Coioides) Without Adversely Affecting Growth or Fatty Acid CompositionJin Niu, Yong-Jian Liu, Li-Xia Tian et al.This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary lipid sources on growth, survival and body composition of 40 day post hatch larval grouper, Epinephelus coioides. Fish were fed fish meal and protein hydrolysate based diets for 32 days with either 100% maize oil or 100% fish oil in triplicate from 40-day after hatching to slaughter size (fish weight: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,279 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDietary Fats and Heart Disease: From Prenatal to Postnatal EnvironmentSukhinder K. CheemaProblem statement: Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and is dramatically increasing in developing countries. Preventive approaches, such as dietary and lifestyle changes can have major health implications to prevent the onset of heart disease. Besides healthy nutrition in the adult life, maternal nutrition during pregnancy and lactation can also have a significant impact on the outcome … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 10 Aug 2012 · 7,433 accessesView PDFCite
