Analysis of polyphenols, phytosterols, and bitter principles in Teucrium L. species
Tập 7 - Trang 542-550 - 2012
Total polyphenols, tannins, β-sitosterol, and bitterness values were determined
in native and cultivated populations of Teucrium L. species from Croatia (T.
arduini L., T. botrys L., T. chamaedrys L., T. flavum L., T. montanum L., T.
polium L., and T. scordium L. subsp. scordioides Schreb.). Teucrium species have
long been present in folk medicine for diverse medicinal uses, but little is
known ab...
Increased antidepressant-like effect of desipramine combined with central stimulants (caffeine and amphetamine) in mice
Tập 7 - Trang 391-396 - 2012
Desipramine is a widely used antidepressive agent that inhibits the reuptake of
noradrenaline and serotonin, and central stimulants such as caffeine and
amphetamine help to release noradrenaline and serotonin. This work aimed to
evaluate whether the combination of these agents could produce a stronger
antidepressant-like effect than either of the drugs alone. To this end, male
mice were treated wi...
Micropropagation of Vitis vinifera L. cv. ‘Malagouzia’ and ‘Xinomavro’
Tập 5 - Trang 839-852 - 2010
The effects of six basal media on in vitro shoot proliferation of the greek
grapevines Vitis vinifera L. cv. ‘Malagouzia’ and ‘Xinomavro’ were investigated.
Galzy and Zlenco proved to be the most effective for ‘Malagouzia’ and
‘Xinomavro’, respectively. If only BA was present in the medium, shoot
development was poor and the plantlets were chlorotic. When the medium was
supplemented with BA and NA...
Small mammal mycophagy in hemiboreal forest communities of Lithuania
Tập 6 - Trang 446-456 - 2011
The diets of small mammals in different hemiboreal spruce-dominated,
oak-dominated and mixed forests in western part of Lithuania were studied by
examination of fungal spores in fresh fecal pellets of caught animals. In the
diets of mice (Apodemus spp.), bank voles (Myodes glareolus), and common and
pygmy shrews (Sorex araneus and S. minutus), 22 different fungal taxa were
identified, 15 of which ...
The study of hyaluronic acid compounds for neutron capture and photon activation therapies
Tập 9 - Trang 922-930 - 2014
The therapy of radioresistant tumors remains an urgent problem in medicine. To
solve this problem neutron capture therapy (NCT) and photon activation therapy
(PAT) are used. The essential feature of this such technique is the uptake of
tumor chemical elements, which interact with thermal neutrons (NCT) and X-rays
(PAT). The aims of the investigation were to study a biodistribution of the
complexes...
Crossing fitness valleys during the evolution of limpet homing behaviour
Tập 5 - Trang 274-282 - 2010
Evolution is often considered a gradual hill-climbing process, slowly increasing
the fitness of organisms. Here I investigate evolution of homing behaviour in
simulated intertidal limpets. While the simulation of homing is only a possible
mechanism by which homing may have evolved, the process allows an investigation
of how evolution may occur over different fitness landscapes. With some fitness
l...
The effect of rapid and depot testosterone and estradiol on spatial performance in water maze
Tập 7 - Trang 596-602 - 2012
Men and women differ in some cognitive functions including spatial abilities.
These differences seem to be affected by sex steroids, but the results are
controversial. The aim of this work is to describe the effects of rapid or depot
testosterone and estradiol on spatial memory in rats. Thirty-two adult male
Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups. Five groups were gonadectomized, and one
group was...
In vitro growth of some species of Ascochyta Lib.
Tập 7 - Trang 1076-1083 - 2012
Fungi from the genus Ascochyta are generally facultative saprotrophs, which
cause diseases in both monocots and dicots. Over 1 000 species belonging to this
genus have been identified, 18 of which infect monocot plants from the family
Poaceae. This study analyses the effects of temperature and light on the growth
of selected fungi which infect monocots (A. agrostidis, A. avenae, A.
brachypodii, A....
Constitutive protein content of procaspases in murine tissue
Tập 7 - Trang 957-963 - 2012
Caspases are proteases most notably involved in apoptosis and inflammation.
Although mRNA content is better described, the constitutive protein content of
procaspases between tissue types is not well documented. Since mRNA and protein
content do not necessarily correlate, we aimed to discern protein content
differences between various tissues. Protein content of procaspase-1, -8, -9,
and -12 was a...
Antioxidant supplementation influences the neutrophil tocopherol associated protein expression, but not the inflammatory response to exercise
Tập 2 - Trang 56-70 - 2007
Intense exercise induces inflammatory-like changes and oxidative stress in
immune cells. Our aim was to study the effects of antioxidant diet
supplementation on the neutrophil inflammatory response and on the tocopherol
associated protein (TAP) expression after exhaustive exercise. Fourteen
male-trained amateur runners were randomly divided in two placebo and
supplemented groups. Vitamins C (152 m...
