OBJECTIVE
Proinflammatory eicosanoids (cyclooxgenase and lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid) released by alveolar macrophages play an important role in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. We investigated the effect of prefeeding rats for 21 days with enteral diets that provided the
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pentobarbital, halothane, and chloralose anesthesia on the endogenous release of cholecystokinin-33 (CCK-33) in dogs prepared with duodenal fistulas. Release of CCK-33 was induced by intraduodenal infusion of a medium-chain triglyceride
BACKGROUND
Diazinon (DZN) is a widely used organophosphate insecticide. Although mechanism of DZN cardiovascular toxicity is primarily mediated through inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, however, DZN causes remarkable atropine-insensitive hypotension in rats. It has been proved that oxidative
Female Wistar rats were ovariectomized (OVX) and separated into two groups that received either estradiol cypionate (EC, 40 μg/kg, sc; OVX-EC) or vehicle (corn oil, sc; OVX-oil) for 14 consecutive days. On the 7th day of treatment, a subset of animals from both the OVX-oil and OVX-EC groups was
BACKGROUND
This paper is based on ethnobotanical interviews conducted from 1996-2000 in Trinidad and Tobago with thirty male and female respondents.
METHODS
A non-experimental validation was conducted on the plants used for urinary problems and diabetes mellitus: This is a preliminary step to
Because of excessive eltrafiltration (UF), the RP 6 dialyzer requires a closed recirculating dialyzate delivery system. The purpose of this study is to present the characteristics of the RP 6 dialyzer on a single needle system which programs the UF rate of this dialyzer. The single needle system
Aluminium phosphide (AlP), a very toxic pesticide also known as the rice tablet, releases phosphine gas upon contact with water, moisture, or gastric acid. Its mortality rate in humans is 70-100 % due to cardiogenic shock and refractory hypotension. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a simple ketonic
