Whole grain cereals contain a wide range of phytochemicals and it is often difficult to ascribe protective effects on metabolic health to any one particular constituent.The interactions among bioactive components, which contribute highly to the total antioxidant capacity of cereals, represent the first step in the evaluation of food potential healt
The designing and assessment of a local exhaust ventilation system coupled with hybrid collectors for air pollution control of an alloy steel company
Background and aims: Air pollution is a risk factor for human health and the environment.Due to the nature of the process and also to employing melting furnaces, the production and emission of some pollutants such as harmful dust is very high in the steel industry.Therefore, considering the importance of the issue, control of dusts of an alloy stee
A Study on the Kinetics and Effects of Three Combustion Fuels on Retort Carbonization of Corn Husk and Cob
The drive to move Snacks away from fossil fuels and related products has drawn significant attention to biomass and biomass-related products in recent times.This study reports the effect of three forest biomass sources namely acacia auriculiformis, terminalia randii, and delonix regia as combustion fuels in a retort heated, low-temperature and top-
Intrinsic dynamics study identifies two amino acids of TIMP-1 critical for its LRP-1-mediated endocytosis in neurons
Abstract The tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) exerts inhibitory activity against matrix metalloproteinases and cytokine-like effects.We previously showed that TIMP-1 reduces neurite outgrowth in mouse cortical neurons and that this cytokine-like effect depends on TIMP-1 endocytosis mediated by the low-density lipoprotein receptor-r
ABBaH: Activity Breaks for Brain Health. A Protocol for a Randomized Crossover Trial
Introduction: Extended periods of sitting may have detrimental effects on brain health.However, the effects of breaking up prolonged sedentary periods with frequent, short physical activity bouts on mechanisms to improve brain health remain unclear.Therefore, this study aims to investigate the immediate effects of uninterrupted sitting and frequent
