Protective effect of Allium sativum (garlic) aqueous extract against lead-induced oxidative stress in the rat brain, liver, and kidney
The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the ameliorative activity of Allium sativum against lead-induced oxidative stress in the brain, liver, and kidney of male rats. Four groups of male Wistar stra...

Statistical Analysis of Small Ellerman Bomb Events
The properties of Ellerman bombs (EBs), small-scale brightenings in the Hα line wings, have proved difficult to establish because their size is close to the spatial resolution of even the most advanced telesco...

Endomorphin-1 induces antinociception without immunomodulatory effects in the rat
Rationale: Although there is evidence that central opioid receptors are involved in immunomodulation, it has been only recently that an endogenous agonist, designated endomorphin-1, possessing high selectivity an...

Cardenolide connection between overwintering monarch butterflies from Mexico and their larval food plant,Asclepias syriaca
The majority (85%) of 394 monarch butterflies sampled from overwintering sites in Mexico contain the same epoxy cardenolide glycosides, including most conspicuously a novel polar glycoside with a single genin-...
