Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAmelioration of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase, Insulin like Growth Factor-1 Gene Expression and Insulin Receptor Substrate-1 in Liver Tissue of Insulin Resistant Rats Treated With L-CarnitineHala M. GhanemProblem statement: It has been reported that genes expression (inducible Nitric Oxide (iNOS). Insulin-like Growth Factor-1(IGF-1) have a role in both glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance. The aim of this study was designed to evaluate the amelioration of the iNOS, IGF-1 genes expression as well as IRS-1 in liver tissues of rats fed high fructose diet treated with Lcarnitine. Approach: … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,264 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDetection of Exogenous Heavy Metal Pesticide Residues in Traditional Chinese Medicine Based on Fluorescent Carbon Quantum DotsYanan He, Shuyin WangThe analysis method based on fluorescent probes has received increasing attention due to its high sensitivity, fast response, and real-time visualization characteristics. Therefore, the application of fluorescent probes for rapid detection of heavy metal pesticide residues in traditional Chinese medicine is of great significance. This study innovatively synthesized B/N co-doped carbon quantum dots using 3-aminophenylboronic acid as the raw material, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 10 Apr 2026 · 1,610 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Organic Based N Fertilizer on Dry Matter (Zea mays L.), Ammonium and Nitrate Recovery in an Acid Soil of Sarawak, MalaysiaSusilawati Kasim, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid et al.Problem statement: Exchangeable ammonium (NH4+) could be recovered by humic and fulvic acids from humic substances. The ability of these acids in fixing or retaining NH4+ has been demonstrated in many findings and reports. Both acids could affect the plant growth, nutrients uptake by enhancing photosynthesis rate and root growth among others. Thus, in this study, the effect of both … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 8,244 accessesView PDF Cite

Expousure to petroleum products can cause health problems to humn and animals and affect marine animals and wildlife habitats. Approach: The objective of this study was to developed a technology for the remediation of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 18 Nov 2011 · 8,183 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordComparison of Selected Soil Chemical Properties of Two Different Mangrove Forests in SarawakEmpi Rambok, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Despite few studies of forest health and environmental conditions of mangrove forest in Sarawak, the data was not sufficient to facilitate baseline data and direct comparison of mangrove forest health obtained for different location of mangrove forest in Sarawak. On this regard, determination of contemporary mangrove soil condition was essential to addressing mangrove forest for forest health, carbon … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 9,648 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSpatial Variability of Soil Inorganic N in a Mature Oil Palm Plantation in Sabah, MalaysiaAbdul Rahim Anuar, Kah Joh Goh, Tee Bee Heoh, Osumanu Haruna AhmedThe identification and understanding of soil factors influencing yield variability of oil palm enable their efficient management. Soil samples were therefore collected from a fertilizer response trial on oil palm to study the spatial inorganic N distribution and some selected soil chemical properties as affected by long-term N fertilizer applications. The experiment was conducted on mature oil palms grown on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,686 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFoliar and Soil Application of Potassium Nitrate Affects the Tolerance of Salinity and Canopy Growth of Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne var Boulevard)S.J. Tabatabaei, F. FakhrzadTwo experiments were conducted to determine the effect of KNO3 application on perennial ryegrass salinity tolerance. Two NaCl levels (0 and 60 mM) factorially combined with four KNO3 (KN) levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 mM) as the treatments. The KN was applied either to the soil or foliarly sprayed. The results showed that in both experiments the increased salinity … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,052 accessesView PDF Cite
