Histological observations of 24 h oral administration of the extract of Sorghum bicolor on albino rats
The histological effects of oral administration of the alcoholic extract of Sorghum bicolor on albino rats were investigated. The alcoholic extract was dried and resuspended in distilled water and the following quantities were administered orally to the albino rats per kg body weight: 10, 100, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2900 mg while normal saline solution served as control. The rats were dissected after 24 h....

Cloning and sequence analysis of translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 10 homolog (yeast) gene (TIMM10) from the giant panda
TIMM10 is a member of the family of small Tim proteins, which is an important translocase located in inner mitochondrial membrane. It is a significant and interesting work to study it. The cDNA of TIMM10 was cloned successfully for the first time from the Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) using RT-PCR technology, which was also sequenced and analyzed preliminarily. The cDNA fragment cloned is 307...
