OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anti-diabetic efficacy of orally administered bee wax coated water-soluble fraction of bee venom (BWCBVA) drug over orally administered bee wax (BW) and intraperitoneally administered whole bee venom (BV) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. METHODS Diabetes induced by intraperitoneal administration of 60 mg/kg…[Read more]

We resolve the contradiction between two recent experimental studies of the possible catalytic effect of water vapor on CH 3 OH + OH reaction and we extend the rate constant evaluation down to 200 K. The rate constants of the CH 3 OH + OH reaction catalyzed by a water molecule are computed as functions of temperature and relative humidity using…[Read more]

The adsorption of γ-globulin was evaluated with experiments with silica particles marketed as Syloid AL1-FP (SAL), XDP-3150 (SXDP), and 244FP (SFP). The influence of pH, pore sizes, and degree of surface porosity on the extent of γ-globulin immobilization was examined. Protein adsorption on these particles was largely related to their surface p…[Read more]

es to promote adequate physician review of OARs and image registrations to ensure the quality and safety of radiotherapy treatment plans.

Pirfenidone is an antifibrotic agent that is potentially effective for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, no study has reported on its prophylactic value against…[Read more]

33-56.46, CUPRAC 0.20-7.31, and FRAP 1.65-59.89. The highest TPC was given by ethanol leaf extracts (49.55 ± 1.45 g GAE/100 g), while the highest TFC was for n-hexane leaf extracts (9.68 ± 0.210 g QE/100 g). The TPC of leaves extract had a significantly positive correlation with AAI DPPH, CUPRAC, and FRAP. AAI DPPH, AAI CUPRAC, and AAI FRAP of l…[Read more]
