The incidence of type 2 diabetes and the resultant metabolic syndrome are rapidly increasing. In this study, we investigated the effects of cycloartane triterpenoids on the adipocyte differentiation and glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes together with its mechanism. The cells were treated for lipid accumulation with different concentration of cycl

Large-scale river diversions on the lower Mississippi River are considered to be an important component of wetland restoration efforts in coastal Louisiana. Diversions are used primarily for salinity control but increasingly proposed also as a major way to deliver sediments and nutrients to coastal wetlands impacted by the construction of flood con

Friedelin and lanosterol have been isolated from twigs of Garcinia prainiana.Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The compounds were examined for their effects on 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In the MTT assay, it was found that the compounds had no cytotoxic effects up to 25 mM. Adipocyte differentiation analysis was carried out by Oil

ظلت قضية المعصية التي صدرت عن نبي الله آدم -عليه السلام- والتي قد تاب الله تعالى عنه، تشغل حيزاً كبيراً من أفكار الباحثين، وظلت هذه المسألة ذات أبعاد تمسك البعض بها وأعطوها شمولية غير متناهية-خ�

The natural antioxidant contents in the ethanol extract of the seeds of four varieties of Roselle (UKMR-1, UKMR-2, UKMR-3, and UMKL-1) and Kenaf (V36) were evaluated. The ground seeds were extracted in ethanol by a Soxhlet apparatus. The results indicated that the highest seeds’ extract yield was V36 (27%), followed by UKMR-2 (21%), UMKL-1 (20%),

Rain fade slope is very useful knowledge used to design of the fade countermeasures in satellite communication link. Recently, ITU-R has proposed fade slope model by limiting elevation angle up to 500. Rain fade slope was measured from downlink of space-earth path of MEASAT3 in Kuala Lumpur (3.30 N, 101.70 E), Malaysia for one year period during 1s

Increased public awareness posed for global climate change has led to greater concern over the impact of environmental changes due to constant emissions of air pollutants from industrial production. Wet scrubbers have important advantages when compared to other air pollution control devices. They can collect particulates like flammable and explosiv

The chapter starts with a section on ageing and memory. It aims to provide some answers as to why increased age is commonly associated with a decline in cognitive ability, especially memory performance. A section on AD is first presented, followed by a discussion of the potential of newly developed of non-biological explanations for the disease. Th

Statistical analysis is fundamental information for system engineer to design and plan satellite communication link. Fade duration is one aspect of fade dynamics that contributes designing of fade mitigation techniques (FMT). This paper presents statistical analysis on fade duration on high elevation angle (77.4°) in Ku-band carried out in Kuala L
