Effect of intranasal insulin on peripheral glucose profile in dexamethasone-induced insulin resistance in Wistar rats
This study evaluates the therapeutic potential of intranasal insulin (INI) in dexamethasone-induced insulin resistance in Wistar rats. In the first phase of the study, thirteen, healthy, untreated male Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups and administered either vehicle (0.9% Normal saline, 20 µl) or insulin (2 IU) intranasally to assess intranasal delivery of insulin in brain. In the second phase of experiments, to evaluate the acute effects of intranasal insulin on peripheral blood glucose, intranasal or intraperitoneal insulin was co-administered with or without dexamethasone 10 mg/kg to 26 male Wistar rats and b...

Response surface optimization and effects of agricultural wastes on total petroleum hydrocarbon degradation
This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Goat manure (GM) and Palm oil mill effluent (POME) on total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) degradation. Microbial respiration rates (CO2 evolution) were investigated. TPHs degradation rate constants were estimated using the first-order kinetics model. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to investigate the surface morphologies and functional groups in GM and POME. The CO2 evolution rates in TPH contaminated soil treated with GM (TPHCS-GM), TPH contaminated soil treated with POME (TPHCS-POME), and the untreated TPH contaminated...

Assessment of proliferative index in different grades of breast cancers using AgNOR (Agyrophilic Nuclear Organizer Region) expression
Publication date: Available online 30 June 2018Source: Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied SciencesAuthor(s): Williams Kweku Darkwah, Gideon Aidoo, Yanhui Ao, Kwabena Owusu Danquah, Ernest Adjei, Ernest Adankwah, Alhassan KadriAbstractNucleolar organiser regions (NORs) are loops of DNA which are responsible for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcription in the nucleus of cells. NORs can be selectively stained by silver methods. The NORs agyrophilia is due to a group of nucleolar proteins, which have affinity for silver (Agyrophilic Nucleolar Organizer Regions, AgNOR proteins). The aim of the present study is to asses...

Evaluation of optimization parameters in microwave reflux extraction of piperine-oleoresin from black pepper (Piper nigrum)
This study determined a combination of operating parameters that optimize the microwave extraction of the piperine oil. The effect of irradiation time, microwave power level, feed particle size and feed-solvent ratio on piperine content and absorbed microwave energy were tested using a three-level L9-Taguchi parametric design. The results obtained placed the optimum extraction condition at 90 min of irradiation time, 350 W of microwave power, 0.1 mm of particle size and 1:12 of feed-solvent ratio. Under this optimal condition the optimal piperine oil and absorbed microwave energy of 5.64 w/w and 84.17 J/min were ...
