Natural agents against neutrophil involvement in H.Pylori induced chronic gastritis
(2010)Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the widely spread human infections and the major risk for peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer and cause for chronic gastric inflammation. The major virulence factors in the ... -
Natural antioxidants, health effects and bioactive properties of wild allium species
(2020)Background: There is an increasing interest from the pharmaceutical and food industry in natural antioxidant and bioactive compounds derived from plants as substitutes for synthetic compounds. The genus Allium is one of ... -
Natural convection in a 2D enclosure with sinusoidal upper wall temperature
(2002)Natural convection in a two-dimensional, rectangular enclosure with sinusoidal temperature profile on the upper wall and adiabatic conditions on the bottom and sidewalls is numerically investigated. The applied sinusoidal ... -
Natural convection in rectangular tanks heated locally from below
(2004)The present study was undertaken in order to gain understanding of certain aspects of natural convection in a glass-melting tank heated locally from below. Based on numerical predictions, the effects of Rayleigh number, ... -
Natural convection of liquid metal in a vertical annulus with lateral and volumetric heating in the presence of a horizontal magnetic field
(2011)MHD free convection of a liquid metal is studied in a closed vertical annulus in which the upper and bottom walls are adiabatic while the cylindrical walls are kept at different temperatures. The flow is driven by two ... -
Natural flavonoids as antidiabetic agents. The binding of gallic and ellagic acids to glycogen phosphorylase b
(2015)We present a study on the binding of gallic acid and its dimer ellagic acid to glycogen phosphorylase (GP). Ellagic acid is a potent inhibitor with K(i)s of 13.4 and 7.5 mu M, in contrast to gallic acid which displays K(i)s ... -
Natural histogel-based bio-scaffolds for sustaining angiogenesis in beige adipose tissue
(2019)In the treatment of obesity and its related disorders, one of the measures adopted is weight reduction by controlling nutrition and increasing physical activity. A valid alternative to restore the physiological function ... -
Natural insecticides from native plants of the Mediterranean basin and their activity for the control of major insect pests in vegetable crops: shifting from the past to the future
(2021)The Mediterranean basin thrives in native plant species are able to produce numerous derivatives that can be used for insect pest control. This article provides an up-to-date overview of the most important native plant ... -
Natural products and their derivatives as inhibitors of glycogen phosphorylase: potential treatment for type 2 diabetes
(2014)Glycogen phosphorylase (GP) (EC 2.4.1.1) is an important therapeutic target for the potential treatment of type 2 diabetes. The search for potent, selective and drug-like GP inhibitors which may eventually lead to hypoglycaemic ... -
Natural products-friends or foes?
(2015)A trend in the general population has been observed in recent years regarding the orientation toward preventive measures in health; in this context the increased interest from the users and researchers concerning the active ... -
Natural Products/Bioactive Compounds as a Source of Anticancer Drugs
(2022)Cancer is one of the major deadly diseases globally. The alarming rise in the mortality rate due to this disease attracks attention towards discovering potent anticancer agents to overcome its mortality rate. The discovery ... -
Natural Strategies as Potential Weapons against Bacterial Biofilms
(2022)Microbial biofilm is an aggregation of microbial species that are either attached to surfaces or organized into an extracellular matrix. Microbes in the form of biofilms are highly resistant to several antimicrobials ... -
Natural ventilation of a greenhouse with ridge and side openings: Sensitivity to temperature and wind effects
(1997)An air exchange rate model of a Mediterranean greenhouse with ridge and side openings combining temperature and wind effects as driving forces of the natural ventilation was developed and tested on experimental data. it ... -
Natural ventilation performance of six greenhouse and tunnel types
(1997)The physical basis of natural ventilation is reviewed and the ventilation performance examined of six different greenhouse and tunnel types equipped with either roof or side, or both roof and side vents. Altogether, sixteen ... -
Naturally Occurring Isohexenylnaphthazarins and Wound Healing: Experimental Study in Dogs
(2010)Background: The healing efficacy of isohexenylnaphthazarins (IHN) has been well proved on chronic or contaminated wounds. Objective: To evaluate the wound healing activity of an experimental ointment containing IHN on acute ... -
Naturally occurring subclinical ovine mastitis associated with Listeria monocytogenes
(1998)Mammary infection with and faecal excretion of Listeria monocytogenes and somatic cell counts in milk were monitored in 98 ewes in a population of 335 in two flocks. From these 98 ewes, three samples were obtained throughout ... -
