The effect of dietary-induced vitamin B-6 (B-6) deficiency on the intake of the taste solutions, sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium saccharin (NaSacc), quinine sulfate (QS), and hydrochloric acid (HCl) wa…
The possible relationship between plasma androgenic activity and acne vulgaris was investigated. Plasma testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels were determined in healthy girls dur…
A 30-year-old pregnant woman complained of muscle weakness at 29 weeks' gestation. She was hypertensive with severe hypokalemia. Lower plasma renin activity and higher aldosterone level than the norma…
Previously, we have demonstrated the potential of plasma 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) as an easily detectable biomarker for skeletal muscle injury in rats. Here, we examined whether plasma 2HG was superio…
The principal objective of this study was to determine the effect of a short period of severe dietary zinc restriction on both prebreakfast and postbreakfast plasma zinc concentrations. After an overn…
Index-matched indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes for capacitive touch screen panels have been fabricated to improve optical transmittance and reduce the difference of reflectance (deltaR) between the e…
A headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) method was developed and optimized for gas chromatographic separation and determination of commonly found organotin compounds in human urine after po…
Serum biotin concentrations, erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), reduced glutathione (GSH) and plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBAR…
We investigated the charge transfer interactions between luminescent quantum dots (QDs) and redox active dopamine. For this, we used pH-insensitive ZnS-overcoated CdSe QDs rendered water-compatible us…
One of the most widespread synthetic routes to coumarins is the condensation of esters and phenols via the Pechmann reaction. Despite the industrial and technological importance of the reaction, its m…
A comparative analysis of stereo-electronic properties of five cholinesterase reactivators (pralidoxime (2- PAM), trimedoxime, obidoxime, HI-6, and HLo-7) and six "K-oximes" was performed to assess th…
There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that corticosteroids contribute to the increased neural excitability observed during ethanol withdrawal. In the present study, this was further investiga…
The osmosensitivity of peripheral vasopressin release was studied during healthy thermoregulation and endotoxin-induced fever. There was an increase in osmosensitivity following bolus injection of sal…
Oxylipins, the oxidation products of unsaturated fatty acids (FA), are potent endogenous mediators being involved in the regulation of various biological processes such as inflammation, pain and blood…
Reticuloendothelial system (RES) clearance function correlates with the mortality rate associated with stresses that can induce shock. Likewise, experimental rat heat stress (ERHS) mortality rate is a…
The N-terminal acetylation of melanophore-stimulating hormone (MSH) increases the melanotropic potency of the peptide. This modification may be important in amphibians, where MSH causes skin darkening…
To clarify the effects of lead on fetal premature rupture of the membranes (PROM), blood lead concentrations were measured using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry in 332 women, aged 16-35 y…
Versatility in test-objects for ultrasonic Doppler units is desirable. The test-object described comprises a thin-walled plastic tube embedded in tissue-mimicking material. Blood is simulated using a …
BACKGROUND: Several observational studies have recently suggested an inverse association of circulating levels of vitamin D with blood pressure. These findings have been based mainly on Caucasian popu…
Pollution vulnerability of the Owerri regional water supply aquifer was evaluated as a basis for developing appropriate protection strategy for the groundwater resource. The assessment was accomplishe…
