Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Alloxan-Diabetes on Gastrin-Releasing Peptide (GRP) Immunoreactivity in the Gastrointestinal Tract, of Sprague Dawley Rats and How This May Affect Some of the Diabetic ComplicationsEdward O. Uche-Nwachi, Camille V. MitchellGastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) is the mammalian analogue of bombesin. Both neuroendocrine peptides have similar distribution, functions and immunoreactivity. The immunoreactivity for GRP has been demonstrated in the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. This peptide is reported to have various biological and pharmacological properties, which include the release of gastrointestinal hormones, control of satiety, gastrointestinal motility and stimulation of cellular proliferation … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,254 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosorption of Cr(III) by Microalgae and Macroalgae: Equilibrium of the ProcessIzabela Michalak, Agnieszka Zielinska, Katarzyna Chojnacka, Jan MatulaEquilibrium experiments of chromium(III) biosorption by microalga (Spirulina sp.) and macroalga (Pithophora varia) were investigated in this paper. Influence of the following process parameters was studied: pH, biomass concentration and temperature. The equilibrium of the process was described with Langmuir equation. The model parameters were determined at various process conditions. The best operation conditions for the process were selected: pH … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Model for Bioaccumulation of Metals in Crassostrea virginica from Apalachicola Bay, FloridaDennis A. Apeti, Elijah Johnson, Larry RobinsonKinetics of bioaccumulation of the trace metals (Cd and Zn) by C. virginica were investigated in this study. A computer program, Oyster Bioaccumulation Model (OBM), was developed to simulate the accumulation of the metals from both dissolved (water column) and particulate (food) phases by C. virginica. The model is based on two main attributes: (1) the oyster biological characteristics such … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBiological Activity of Lactic Acid Based Feed Additive and its Physiological Effect on the Animal OrganismNadezhda Nikolaevna Lantseva, Alexander Nikolaevich Shvydkov, Lyudmila Anatolyevna Ryabukha, Veronica Valeryevna EvsyukovaThe data obtained as a result of the study of the enzymatic activity of the lactic acid based feed additive LAFA, based on various bacteria, are consistent with the results of the research presented in the publications on the matter, concerning the fact that probiotic bacteria have enzymatic activity. The conducted studies revealed the leading enzymatic properties of bifidobacteria in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 4 Oct 2018 · 7,420 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBiomimetic Finite Element Analysis Bone Modeling for Customized Hybrid Biological Prostheses DevelopmentAversa Raffaella, Florian Ion T. Petrescu, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Apicella AntonioThe human femur shows a high capacity to withstand external stresses and it is due to the mass distribution, morphology, and orthotropic behaviors of trabecular and cortical bone. Faithful modeling of the femur accounting for bone distribution and material orthotropic behavior is presented. The use of biofidel model is aimed to develop an "in silico" tool that could enable the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,986 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordLentinan Properties in Anticancer Therapy: A Review on the Last 12-Year LiteratureLuca Vannucci, Petr Sima, Vaclav Vetvicka, Jiri KrizanThe effects of β-glucan in cancer are the most studied biological effects of β-glucan. From all available β-glucans, the most data are available on lentinan, mostly because it is used in clinical practice for over 20 years. Current review represent a state-of-the-art comprehensive review of knowledge obtained in last twelve years. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2017 · 12,760 accessesView PDFCite

Patel, Mahesh T. ChhabriyaProblem statement: Tuberculosis is a leading global mortality factor which has not been effectively controlled, with 1.7 million deaths per year and 8.9 million new cases. Aerobic microbe Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB) is the causative agent of tuberculosis. Although many active antitubercular agents have since been developed, drug resistance will continue to be a problem. Therefore, there is a clear … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 3 Nov 2011 · 7,432 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBiocontrol of Soil Fungi in Tomato with Microencapsulates Containing Bacillus subtilisMarcela Hernàndez-Suàrez, Francisco Daniel Hernàndez-Castillo, Gabriel Gallegos-Morales et al.Problem Statement: An option to reduce pollution by synthetic agro-chemical in root plant disease management is the use of antagonist rhizobacteria belonging to Bacillus genus, because their inhibitory properties, stimulation of plant growth and crop yield increase. Approach: This study was carried out in order to evaluate if Bacillus subtilis strains could play an antagonists role of plant pathogens and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPrediction of Tumor Existence in the Virtual Soft Tissue by Using Tactile Tumor DetectorSayyed Mohsen Hosseini, Siamak Najarian, Samira Motaghinasab et al.We proposed a method to investigate the effects of the tumor existence that appear on the surface of the tissue.
