Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTailor-Made Enzyme Carriers: Preparation and Use of Adsorbents Specifically Designed to Immobilize Allosteric Enzymes in Activated ConformationZahra SalemiProblem statement: The enzyme immobilization has experienced substantial growth in the recent past and an ever increasing amount of study has been reported on various aspects of immobilized enzymes. In most of these investigations, catalytic activities are found to be diminished as compared to the enzyme free in solution. Approach: Hydrophobic adsorbents were prepared containing L-leucine or citric acid, two … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,564 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioInfoPhysics Models of Neuronal Signal Processes Based on Theories of Electromagnetic FieldsKang Cheng, Chang H. ZouProblem statement: The aphasia is one of human language and action related brain associative diseases. The mechanisms of the diseases and the brain association are still unclear. In this study, we proposed our models of the neuronal signal processes, in a view of BioInforPhysics, to understand the mechanisms. Approach: Our models are based on today’s solidest Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) theoretic … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 10 Feb 2010 · 6,903 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Activity of Plant Extracts in Boer GoatsM. Worku, R. Franco, J. H. MillerProblem statement: The effect of extracts from Neem (Azadirachta indica), Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) and Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) with added copper sulfate, on female Boer goats infected with gastrointestinal parasites (GIN) was evaluated. Approach: Following initial screening for infection, animals were artificially infected with a mix containing approximately 80% Haemonchus contortus and 20% Trichostrongylus spp. After 21 days, fecal samples were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 21 Dec 2009 · 8,477 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 · 6,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Model of Intestinal Anaphylaxis in Whey Sensitized Balb/c MiceNegaoui Hanane, Kaddouri Hanane, Kheroua Omar, Saidi DjamelProblem statement: Cow’s Milk Allergy (CMA) is a common disease in childhood. Pathophysiological mechanisms involved in gastrointestinal symptoms are relatively poorly understood. Approach: Therefore, an experimental model of intestinal anaphylaxis was needed to approach the problem. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the parenteral sensitization to whey proteins through immune response and local intestine inflammation … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKidney Function Indices in Mice after Long Intake of Agaricus brasiliensis Mycelia (=Agaricus blazei, Agaricus subrufescens) Produced by Solid State CultivationDalla Santa Herta Stutz, Rubel Rosália, Vitola Francisco Menino Destéfanis et al.Problem statement: Agaricus brasiliensis (=Agaricus blazei, Agaricus subrufescens) or Sun mushroom has widespread use for potential health benefits such anti-tumor and immunomodulatory effects. Studies detected that others edible mushrooms affected renal metabolism and despite the widespread use of A. brasiliensis there are no studies that address biological effects on the renal function indices after their oral administration.
