DIFFERENTIATION-INDUCING EFFECT OF PIPERITENONE OXIDE, A FRAGRANT INGREDIENT OF SPEARMINT (MENTHA SPICATA), BUT NOT CARVONE AND MENTHOL, AGAINST HUMAN COLON CANCER CELLS

The n-hexane extract from spearmint (Mentha spicata) leaves was purified via a bioassay-guided fractionation scheme, which was based on the induction of differentiation in a RCM-1 human colon cancer cell line.One of the criteria of a differentiation marker is the formation of ducts determined visually us polo assn mens sweaters using phase contrast

In practical applications, the us polo assn mens sweaters safe operation of large-diameter prestressed concrete cylinder pipes (PCCPs) depends on the loading performance under internal water pressure.However, there is lack of damage tests for the full-scale large-diameter PCCPs due to economic cost and experimental difficulty.In this paper, a full-

Abstract Increasing evidence indicates that Nrf-2, named the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor, may perform anticancer function.In this study, a series of novel substituted phenyl- (3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)-prop-2-en-1-one (indolyl-chalcone) derivatives were synthesized and their effects on Nrf-2 activity were observed.We found that compound

In order to investigate the microbiological safety of sanitary tissues made of recycled scrap papers in Iran, random samples were taken for one year with the cooperation of the Iranian Standard and Industrial Research Institute (Karaj unit), of 44 types of sanitary tissues, two samples of each type including tissues, toilet papers and dippers as we

The effect of taylor te400 thinning of young spruce stands by 500 trees/ha on biological activity in the soil profile was studied in the mountainous area of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids.The biological activity of soil was determined under optimal laboratory conditions by tests of soil respiration, catalase activity and intensity of cellulose decom
