Manganese Blocks Intracellular Trafficking of Shiga Toxin and Protects Against Shiga Toxicosis
Infections with Shiga toxin (STx)Âproducing bacteria cause more than a million deaths each year and have no definitive treatment. To exert its cytotoxic effect; STx invades cells through retrograde membrane trafficking; escaping the lysosomal degradative pathway. We found that the widely available metal manganese (Mn2+) blocked endosome-to-Golgi trafficking of STx and caused its degradation in […]
Evaluation of the total phenolics and quercetin content of foliage in mycorrhizal grape (Vitis vinifera L.) varieties and effect of postharvest drying on quercetin yield
Hexavalent chromium removal from aqueous medium by activated carbon prepared from peanut shell: Adsorption kinetics; equilibrium and thermodynamic studies
Activated carbon was prepared from peanut shell by chemical activation with KOH. Unoxidized activated carbon was prepared in nitrogen atmosphere which was then heated in air at a desired temperature to get oxidized activated carbon. The prepared carbons were characterized for surface area and pore volume and utilized for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous […]
Comparison of gastric ulcerogenicity of percolated extract of Anacardium occidentale (Cashew Nut) with indomethacin in rats
In traditional Iranian medicine; the core of the fruit of Anacardium occidentale (cashew nut) has been used in the management of the pain. In this study gastric ulcerogenicity effect of the percolated extract of A. occidentale was investigated in rats. The extract or indomethacin (200; 300; 400 and 800 mg/kg) was administrated orally. In the […]
Effects of the ethylene inhibitor aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) on fruit abscission and yield on pruned and unpruned macadamia trees
A Trial Investigating the Symptoms Related to Pine Nut Syndrome
Polyphenol-Rich Foods in the Mediterranean Diet are Associated with Better Cognitive Function in Elderly Subjects at High Cardiovascular Risk
The potential for using Walnut (Juglans regia L.) shell as a raw material for wood-based particleboard manufacturing
Preparation of peanut hull-based activated carbon by microwave-induced phosphoric acid activation and its application in Remazol Brilliant Blue R adsorption
Peanut hull; an agricultural solid waste abundantly available in China; was utilized as a precursor for preparation of activated carbon via microwave induced phosphoric acid chemical activation. To optimize the preparation conditions; the effects of the concentration of phosphoric acid; microwave power and radiation time on the adsorption property (expressed in terms of the iodine […]
Association of Plasma Phospholipid Long-Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids with Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Older Adults: The Cardiovascular Health Study
BACKGROUND: Experimental studies suggest long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) may reduce risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Prior studies evaluating fish or n-3 PUFA consumption from dietary questionnaires and incident AF have been conflicting. Circulating levels of n-3 PUFA provide an objective measurement of exposure. METHODS AND RESULTS: Among 3;326 US men and women […]
