Almost all countries are facing obesity endemic, although great variation exists between and within countries.Sedentary lifestyle high fat (high caloric) diet have increased globally as a result of industrial, urban mechanic changes developing countries.Improved economic status promotes the metabolic syndrome in age groups particularly young adults.Developing counties became desperate need for establishing new polices strategies regulated managed programs; order to encounter factors highly...

Purpose The purpose of the study was to investigate spalling phenomenon in ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beams on exposure a standard fire curve (ISO 834) under sustained load. Design/methodology/approach variables this were steel dosage, polypropylene (PP) fibres and loading levels. research investigated seven – three which contained with 2 vol.%, another had 4 vol.% dosage seventh beam combination (2 vol.%) PP (4 kg/m 3 ). tested for 1 h levels (20, 40 60 per...

Background: This study aims to examine various solvent extracts of Cyphomandra betacea (tamarillo) also known as the tree tomato, for their bioactive constituents and antioxidant activity.The its effect on cancer cell death using two types lines (liver breast cell).Methods: The first part evaluates nutritional composition tamarillo.Then, phytochemical profiling GC-MS analysis in ethanolic tamarillo extract was conducted.Different fractions n-butanol, ethyl acetate aqueous were obtained from...

The establishment of the fire resistance concrete structures reinforced with fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars is a prerequisite to widespread applications fibrous rods in buildings. This paper presents results an experimental study, which was conducted investigate performance beams carbon FRP (CFRP) bars. were designed over-reinforced and subjected standard heating curve floor furnace. Full service load applied half hour before start test kept constant for duration test. A non-uniform...

The exposure of concrete elements to high temperatures during fire can cause major risk life safety and the serviceability a building. One main reasons for this is due spalling which caused by pore pressure thermal stresses. Previous research has indicated that inclusion polypropylene fibres reduces explosive spalling. However, containing fibre still be vulnerable fire. This paper presents outcomes investigating effect using steel in addition reduce concrete. experimental part study...

Objective: To identify and determine the composition of antioxidant compounds, to evaluate abilities Gac fruit parts (peel, pulp, seed aril) grown in Malaysia.Methods: LC-MS/MS was used for identification compounds UV-Vis estimation contents phenolics, flavonoids, carotenoids. Lycopene β -carotene were quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography. DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl) ferric reducing power assays employed capacities.Results: Phytochemicals found amongst all...

Cocoa is a rich source of polyphenols that has been traditionally used as the treatment several types inflammation related disease. The response to comprises consecutive release mediators and enlistment circulating leukocytes, such macrophages. Currently, Cocoa-derived polyphenolics have shown anti-inflammatory effects in vivo, but therapeutic benefits vitro remain unclear. Therefore, this study, effect cocoa polyphenolic extract (CPE) on RAW 264.7 macrophage cells sensitized by...

This study was conducted to investigate the pharmacological activity of cocoa polyphenols (CPs) on visceral obesity markers and possible mechanisms. In this study, Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were fed either a low‐fat diet (LFD) or high‐fat (HFD). After 12 wk intervention, only one group HFD ( n = 10/group) treated at dose 600 mg/kg bw/day CPs (HFD + CPs) for 4 wk. The gene protein expression levels phosphorylation AMPK‐activated kinase α/β (AMPK α/β) measured using real time‐PCR Western...

The diversity of bioactive compounds underlies the potential use and application medicinal plants as an excellent source dietary supplements. Fruits that are found to be rich in multi-phytochemicals seriously being considered ‘super’ fruits due their unique antioxidants. Gac fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng), is one those phytonutrients because all its fractions (i.e. aril, seeds, pulp peel) have been widely used folk healing ancestral medicine. But, entire potentiality towards...

Objective: To investigate the impact of extracts Gac fruit parts (peel, pulp, seed, and aril) on cell viability angiogenesis markers human retinal pigment epithelial (ARPE- 19) cells under high glucose conditions. Methods: The effect peel, seed aril ARPE-19 was determined using MTT assay, Trypan blue dye morphological changes were observed light microscopy. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent-based assay performed to evaluate reactive oxygen species (ROS), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)...

AbstractAbstractFire resistance of timber structures is a vital issue health and safety in building design. Timber columns represent an important structural element their fire should be considered during In particular, effect loading slenderness among the parameters which performance fire. This paper represents outcomes research performed at Fire Research Institute, University Ulster to investigate heavy taking into account two factors. The factors included parametric study are level...

Imposing axial restraint against column thermal expansion during fire causes additional forces to be generated and develops excessive buckling deformations. Hence, an early failure can take place which may lead partial of the building fire. This paper discusses extensive experimental study is being undertaken investigate effect on performance under high temperatures. The details program, factors included in parametric study. A loading rig was specially designed permit application load...

A decrease in the lineage commitment of multipotent Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to bone forming osteoblast and an increase fat adipocyte is more common marrow elderly persons. link between methylation status MSC differentiation remains unclear. Therefore, we hypothesize that hypomethylation may decide fate decisions MSC. In current study, murine derived-C3H10T1/2 cell was used examine role mechanism on potential into osteoblasts or adipocytes. C3H10T1/2 were treated with Periodate oxidized...
