Regulatory Efficacy of Scopoletin, a Biocoumarin on Aortic Oxido
Available online a t www.scholarsresearchlibrary.com Scholars Research Library Der Pharmacia Lettre, 2015, 7 (10):57-67 (http://scholarsresearchlibrary.com/archive.html) ISSN 0975-5071 USA CODEN: DPLEB4 Regulatory efficacy of scopoletin, a biocoumarin on aortic oxido lipidemic stress through antioxidant potency as well as suppression of mRNA expression of inos gene in hypercholesterolemic rats C. Shanmuga Sundaram 1 , U. S. Mahadeva Rao 2 and Nordin Simbak 2 1Department of Biochemistry, Prof. Dhanapalan College of Arts and Science, Chennai, India 2Faculty of Medicine and Health Science, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin, Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Preceding work in our laboratory has revealed that scopoletin, one of the main bioactive coumarin from fruits of Morinda citrifolia, exerts anti-diabetic activity in in vitro partly by averting α glucosidase and α amylase action. However, its aorto/vaso protective impact-based research is still incomprehensible. The present study looks into the regulatory efficacy of scopoletin on aortic lipid profile, radical scavenging status, endothelial factors and aortic morphology in dyslipidemic rats. Rats fed with normal diet serve as control [Group (G) 1], rats fed with cholesterol- enriched diet (CED) (4 % cholesterol and 1 % cholic acid) for 45 days (G2), rats fed with CED for 45 days + scopoletin (10 mg/kg, body weight/day orally) for the last 30 days (G3) and scopoletin alone rats (G4). Blood and aortic tissue were taken immediately and used for various biochemical, histological and molecular analyses. A pronounced increase in the levels of aortic lipid profile, lipid peroxidation along with substantial suppression in the activities of aortic antioxidant and endothelial factor was observed in G2. -
Tobias Okamoto Alm
THE TOOL BELT A Masculine Jewellery Practice Tobias Okamoto Alm Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design Jewellery + Corpus Master, Essay Spring 2014 Tutor: Christina Zetterlund ABSTRACT This essay is built upon the argument that the tool belt is a piece of jewellery and it investigates where and how the tool belt affects social dynamics in society. It explores the intersections between equipment, accessory, and adornment; where practical and social functionality coexist in a symbiosis. The text adopts a critical gender perspective on jewellery and masculinity; it examines the strategies employed in masculine environments in order to be able to wear jewellery without the risk of feminization. It describes a process of myth creation, surrounding an idealised masculinity built upon rationality and resourcefulness, glorifying the professional construction worker. Acknowledging the tool belt as a piece of jewellery diversifies and enriches the jewellery field. It also expands the perspective on jewellery and masculinity, while opening up for further investigation of the relationship between adornment and gender dynamics. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................................................................................................ 1 JEWELLERY IN SOCIETY .................................................................................................................................................................................
