Chromosomal Aberrations (CA) may play a key role in turner initiation, promotion and progression stages of carcinogenesis. Presence of such CA in the normal Peripheral Blood Culture (PBC) could be used to identify individuals ...

Cadmium (Cd) enters estuarine water by surface runoffs from mines, phosphate fertilizers from agricultural fields and other anthropogenic sources which may pose a threat to the fauna inhabiting these waters. Bivalve molluscs ...

Manganese and Nickel doped Zinc Ferrite (MNZF) nanoparticle Mn sub(0.3)Ni sub(0.3)Zn sub(0.4)Fe sub(2)O sub(4) is used in fabrication of room temperature (25-30 degrees C) NH sub(3) gas sensor in large scale industries. ...

Genotoxicity is the property of various factors that can damage the genetic material within a cell and may lead to mutations. A number of assays are available to detect damage occurring at the DNA level and have been ...

The genotoxic effect of Lynoral (ethinyloestradiol, an oestrogen) was studied using mouse bone marrow cells treated in vivo, employing a chromosomal aberration assay and micronucleus test. The dose and time-yield effects ...

Recent studies indicate that most species are best conserved in their natural community, which results in niche conservation. Depletion of any species is an irreversible change. In the present study the habitat ecology, ...

The present study investigates the effect of Amaranthus tricolor on some hepatic enzyme activities in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The serum levels of glucose, total protein, and bilirubin were significantly increased ...

This study is part of a multidisciplinary and integrated project over the Mondego Estuary-Portugal, which aims to estimate the impact of the anthropic effects and natural forcing in the energy and matter circulation. The ...
