Stroke is among the leading causes of disability and mortality in many countries of the world. The pathogenic mechanisms of ischemic stroke are very complex and have not been completely understood. The aim of this study was to estimate the amino acid (AA) pool in the brain hemisphere cortex of rats during Subtotal Cerebral Ischemia (SCI).

A reactor microbial sensor device and a membrane microbial sensor device are low-cost and convenient analytical tools, which are useful for assessment of constitutiveness and inducibility of enzyme systems for transport and initial metabolism of substrate in microbial cells.

Rickets, a metabolic disease restricted to an age group before epiphyseal growth plate fusion, and is diagnosed by typical skeletal deformities and characteristic radiological features. The commonest etiology of rickets worldwide is nutritional deficiency of vitamin D and/or calcium, followed by primary renal phosphate wasting disorders

The hyperpolarization of neuronal membranes through the activation of potassium and chloride channels is a significant mechanism involved in the antinociceptive effects of various drugs. Thus, in this study, we aimed to determine whether potassium or chloride channels mediate the peripheral antinociceptive effects of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). The mechanical paw pressure test was utilized as an algesimetric method.
