lens culinaris/necrosis

Spontaneous regression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rare. There are few reports discussing spontaneous regression associated with serum lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive alpha fetoprotein (AFP-L3). We describe a case of HCC with a high level of AFP-L3, which showed a rapid increase in alpha

Symptoms suggestive of virus infection in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) fields in Dara'a in southern Syria have been observed, in epidemic proportions, almost annually since 1994. A similar epidemic was observed on many lentil genotypes at the ICARDA farm, near Aleppo, as well as in other locations

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang (Decoction for Reinforcing Middle Jiao and Replenishing Qi) on deficiency of N-glycan/nitric oxide (NO) and islet damage induced by injecting two medium doses of streptozotocin (STZ). METHODS Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection

During the 1999 to 2001 growing seasons, symptoms consisting of mosaic, stunting, yellowing, wilting, shortening of internodes, and phloem discoloration were observed in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) grown in the Department of Chuquisaca in southern Bolivia. In some fields, approximately 10% of the

T cells respond to mitogenic or antigenic stimulation by proliferation and by turning on cytokine gene expression. Here we have analysed the kinetics and nature of cytokine production in human peripheral blood-derived T lymphoblasts stimulated with anti-CD3 antibodies or Lens culinaris lectin (LCL).

In June 2008, lentil plants (Lens culinaris Medik. cv. Crimson) in a field in Kendrick, ID exhibited symptoms including stunting, leaf chlorosis, reddening of abaxial leaf surfaces, root browning, and necrosis. Roots were surface sterilized, plated on water agar, and pure cultures were obtained

OBJECTIVE Upregulated expression of endothelial adhesion molecules and subsequent binding to cognate monocytic receptors are established paradigms in atherosclerosis. However, these proteins are the scaffolds, with their posttranslational modification with sugars providing the actual ligands. We

A strain of the pathogenic fungus Ascochyta lentis isolated from lentil ( Lens culinaris) was studied to ascertain its capability to produce bioactive metabolites. From the culture filtrates were found three new anthraquinone derivatives, named lentiquinones A (1), B (2), and C (3), and the known
