a1–Antitrypsin: Anti-inflammatory roles in exercise and atherosclerosis
a1-Antitrypsin, also known as serum trypsin inhibitor, is an acute phase protein that is upregulated in response to tissue damage and infection. More specifically this glycoprotein affords the host protection against enzymes that are released by immune inflammatory cells. The most notable of these enzymes is neutrophil elastase. Neutrophil elastase has the ability to damage vasculature and in doing so may contribute to...

Variation in antioxidant and aroma compounds at different altitude: A study on tea (Camellia sinensis L. Kuntze) clones of Darjeeling and Assam, India
Plants at high altitude are subject to enhanced oxidative stress due to high UV fluence (resulting from air rarefaction) compared to places at low altitude. For survival, plants have developed specific cell protective compounds viz. the flavonoids. Flavonoid derivatives (viz. flavonoid glycoside) may also serve as precursor of aroma producing compounds and are thus relevant in studies on plant quality under varying UV...

The effects of mannan-oligosaccharides on cecal microbial populations, blood parameters, immune response and performance of broiler chicks under controlled condition
A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) on cecal microbial populations, immune responses to phytohaemagglutinin-P (PHA-P) and sheep red blood cell (SRBC) and performance (weight gain and feed conversion ratio) of broiler chicks under strict controlled condition. Sixty four day-old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 12 battery cages pens of 4 chicks each and were fed...
