sesamum angustifolium/dental caries

Alternaria sesami causes leaf spot disease in Sesamum orientale. Conidium germination, inoculation, penetration and colonization of the pathogen on the plant surfaces were studied using scanning electron microscopy. Electron microscopy analysis revealed multiple germ tubes from conidium that spread

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate how a novel laparoscopic approach allows the development of a mouse model for endometriosis after seeding menstrual endometrium from donor mice into the abdominal cavity of syngeneic recipient mice. METHODS A step-by-step video description of the techniques used to adapt the

An experimental tumor model was developed to study the organ preference of malignant tumors. The primary tumor ER 15-P was induced by inoculation of 1 mg methylcholanthrene in 0.1 ml sesame oil into the left femoral muscle of a female C57/Bl6J mouse. The tumor was palpable 100 days after induction.

Long-term treatment of mature virgin female rats with a high dose of testosterone (24 weeks at a total dose of 300 mg) was associated with the development of endometrial adenomatous hyperplasia and resulted in a high incidence of adenocarcinoma when administered in combination with

Sesame oil has been used in traditional Taiwanese medicine to relieve the inflammatory pain in people with joint inflammation, toothache, scrapes, and cuts. However, scientific evidence related to the effectiveness or action mechanism of sesame oil on relief of pain and inflammation has not been

We examined the impact of dietary fatty acid intake on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxic shock. C57Bl/6J mice were fed for 6 weeks with a commercial laboratory chow (CC) or with test chows containing 7% (w/w) canola oil (CO), sesame oil (SeO), soybean oil (SO), or virgin olive oil (OO). The

UNASSIGNED Ovarian hormones have been shown to regulate body weight, intra-abdominal fat accumulation and plasma level of cytokines. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of estrogen replacement therapy on visceral adipose tissue, plasma level of apelin, lipid profiles, and glucose in

The present study demonstrated the change in interleukin-1 (IL-1) production of peritoneal macrophages during the estrous cycle in golden hamsters and discussed its possible roles in ovarian function. Macrophages were collected from the peritoneal cavity at 0900 h on various days of the estrous
