This was achieved by evaluating the effect of CUR NP on the levels of oxidative stress parameters (lipid peroxidation‚ nitric oxide and reduced glutathione)‚ caspase-3 and tumor necrosis factor-α and the activities of acetylcholinesterase and Na+‚ K+-ATPase in the cerebral cortex of CP-treated rats. The present study also extended to investigate the effect of CUR NP on the

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION/LITERATURE REVIEW THE ERYTHROCYTES A cell that contains haemoglobin and can carry oxygen to the body. Also called a red blood cell (RBC). The reddish colour is due to haemoglobin. Erythrocytes are biconcave in shape which increases the cells surface area and facilitates the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This shape is maintained by a cytoskeleton composed of several proteins. Erythrocytes

stage is its subsequent oxidation to adipic acid with an excess of strong nitric acid in the presence of copper and vanadium catalysts. Only 3-8 % conversion of cyclohexane is obtained in the first step. Recycling of the large amount of cyclohexane unreacted and separation of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone from cyclohexane present major problems. In the second step the highly corrosive nature of nitric acid and the nitrous oxide gas produced create reactor material issues and serious environmental problems

referring to a mixture of wet and dry deposition (deposited material) from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. The precursors‚ or chemical forerunners‚ of acid rain formation result from both natural sources‚ such as volcanoes and decaying vegetation‚ and man-made sources‚ primarily emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) resulting from fossil fuel combustion. In the United States‚ roughly 2/3 of all SO2 and 1/4 of all NOx come from electric

Show that these results illustrate the law of constant proportions. 4. Carbon and oxygen are known to form two compounds. The carbon content in one of these is 42.9% while in the other is 27.3%. Show that this data is in agreement with the law of multiple proportions. 5. On analysis‚ it was found that black oxide of copper and red oxide of copper contained

Biochemical Pathways of Heavy Metals Poisoning BIO101 (Principles of Biology) 6 July 2012 Abstract The biochemical pathways of heavy metal poisoning are routes by which the metals pass in the body as they impair and destroy normal cellular and organ activity. The most common types of heavy metal poisoning are caused by lead‚ arsenic‚ cadmium and mercury. They are also the most extensively studied at the moment. Lead poisoning occurs mainly by the inhibitory effect that the metal imposes on enzymes

yield benzoin. Thiamine catalyst along with water and ethanol were added to the benzaldehyde‚ then NaOH was added until the solution turned yellow. After recrystallization‚ the product was benzoin. Step two was the oxidation of benzoin to benzil. Nitric acid was added to the benzoin and heated‚ this was followed by recrystallization to yield the benzil. In step three the benzil from step two was to be synthesized tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The benzil and 1‚3-diphenylacetone were mixed with ethanol

Causes and Effects of Air Pollution. Earth is everybody’s home and nobody likes to live in a dirty home. Of all the changes swirling among us‚ those that affect the natural environment seems to hold the most serious implication for human life. From a long period of time‚ people have been polluting the earth surface‚ but because of earth’s own ability to absorb and purify minor quantities of pollutants‚ the problem has been minimal. It is significant

* Bharat stage 1 to 4 emission norms are emission standards that focus on regulating pollutants released by automobiles. Most sulphur dioxide comes from power plants that use coal as their fuel. Automobiles produce about half of the nitrogen oxide. When wood‚ household garbage‚ plastic‚ or leaves are burned‚ they produce smoke and release toxic gases. The smoke contains vapors and solid compounds suspended in the air called particulate matter. The particulate matter and toxic gases released
