Curcumin in 0.5% and 1% doses was given as a feed additive to tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) for 100 days to evaluate the effect of curcumin on fatty acid levels in brain, appetite and the growth axis‐related gene expressions. A total of 180 fish were randomly stocked into 650 l tanks and fed with basal feed during acclimatization. Three treatment groups were established, each having three replicates and each replicate had 20 fish. They were fed twice on the experimental diets of 10% body weight ration per fish. Gas chromatography analysis revealed a significant change in the amount of total saturated fatty acids and total monounsaturated fatty acids in tilapia brain. The present study indicated an increase in n‐3 (omega‐3) and n‐6 (omega‐6) polyunsaturated fatty acids in brain. Real‐time quantification of appetite‐regulating neuropeptides in brain and growth‐related gene expressions in muscle revealed a significant modulation in their mRNA expressions. This information obtained in the present study on the beneficial role of curcumin in the regulation of fatty acid levels and the expression of appetite‐regulating neuropeptides and growth‐regulating factors will contribute to research in feed intake and growth in fish.
Recurrent aphthous ulcers are the most prevalent oral mucosal disease, but the subset major aphthous ulcer is a less frequent type. These ulcers are refractory, may persist for several weeks to months, and interfere with the normal state of health. The aetiology is multifactorial and so is the treatment. We present a case of an adolescent male patient reported with multiple oral ulcers. He developed three ulcers simultaneously and suffered for 10 months despite using topical medications prescribed by different dental practitioners. We executed a multidisciplinary treatment approach that resulted in a long-term disease-free state. The treatment methods followed in our case could be a successful model to implement by medical practitioners and oral physicians when the situation demands.
Statistical observation of American Laser center states that females on an average spend over $10,207 in their lifetime to remove unwanted hairs. This study was aimed to evaluate the action of homoeopathic medicine Oleum jecoris aselli as a homoeopathic internal (3X and 30C) and external medicine (Q, 6C and 30C) in treatment of abnormal upper lip hair growth. The whole study was conducted on female volunteers eventually determining the efficacy of external application over administration of internal medicine in treatment of abnormal hair growth or Hirsutism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
