An assessment of the impact of South Asian ethnicity on body composition, dimensions and proportions in children and adolescents, and their potential for risk of metabolic syndrome by Shah, Mahjabeen

“…South Asians (SA) are a high-risk group for cardiometabolic disease, which is partly attributed, to their ‘thin-fat’ body composition (BC) phenotype. Generally, SAs have a higher % fat mass (FM) and less skeletal muscle mass (SMM), together with a more abdominal distribution of body fat, compared with white Europeans (WE) at equivalent body mass index (BMI) values. …”

Allicin-induced cellular destruction of haemoflagellate protozoa, Trypanosoma evansi in mice by Abu Hassan, Zainal Abidin, Baba, Mohd Shukri

“…Groups of male ICR mice were infected with a lethal dose of the parasite (1×105 parasites per mouse) and each group was either treated intraperitoneally with berenil (0.01 mL per mouse, a commercial anti-trypanosomal drug) on D+3 post-infection as the positive control group, treated orally with allicin (0.1 mL of 15 µg/mL allicin solution per mouse) for 30 days starting from D-7 pre-infection as the experimental group, or left untreated as the negative control group. Thin-stained blood smears were prepared from each mouse every alternate day, starting from D+3 post-infection and continued until the animal succumbed or until D+90 post-infection. …”
