Bacterial response to siderophore and quorum-sensing chemical signals in the seawater microbial community
Download2001
Background Oceans are iron-deficient and nutrient-poor environments. These conditions impart limitations on our understanding of and our ability to identify microorganisms from the marine environment. However, less of knowledge on the influence of siderophores and N-acyl homoserinelactone as...

Beneficial effects of simulated gastro-intestinal digests of fried egg and its fractions on blood pressure, plasma lipids and oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rats
Download2014
Majumder, Kaustav, Jahandideh, Forough, Morton, Jude S., Davidge, Sandra T., Kaufman, Susan, Chakrabarti, Subhadeep, Panahi, Sareh, Wu, Jianping
Background We have previously characterized several antihypertensive peptides in simulated digests of cooked eggs and showed blood pressure lowering property of fried whole egg digest. However, the long-term effects of this hydrolysate and its fractions on blood pressure are not known. Therefore,...

Betulinic acid prevents alcohol-induced liver damage by improving the antioxidant system in mice
Download2014-01-01
Yi, Jine, Xia, Wei, Wu, Jianping, Yuan, Liyun, Wu, Jing, Tu, Di, Fang, Jun, Tan, Zhuliang
Betulinic acid (BA), a pentacyclic lupane-type triterpene, has a wide range of bioactivities. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of BA and the potential mechanism underlying the ability of this compound to prevent liver damage induced by alcohol in vivo....

Biology and integrated management of wheat stem sawfly, cephus cinctus norton (hymenoptera: cephidae), with a discussion of needs for future research
Download2011
Dosdall, Lloyd M., Spaner, Dean M., Cárcamo, Hector A., Beres, Brian L.
The wheat stem sawfly, Cephus cinctus Norton (Hymenoptera: Cephidae), is historically one of the most important economic insect pests in the northern Great Plains of North America. Within this geographical region, the areas subjected to greatest attack are southern Alberta and Saskatchewan,...
