Relationship between plasma folate and homocysteine concentrations in alcoholics according to liver enzyme activity. (3/52)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between folate and homocysteine levels in alcoholics taking into consideration the liver enzyme activity as sensitive markers of hepatocellular injury. Folate and homocysteine concentrations did not differ between alcoholics classified according to the liver enzyme activity. The association between folate and homocysteine levels exists in the alcoholics with normal liver enzyme activity and in the controls. Therefore, we concluded that before the liver hepatocellular injury due to alcohol abuse, the correlation between folate and homocysteine concentrations in alcoholics exists as in the healthy controls. In the presence of hepatocellular injury, the association disappears. (+info)

History shows that the dish of marinated boiled meat in Indonesia has been known since the 9th century CE in ancient Java. This can be seen from some of the inscriptions, and reliefs of the temples in Java that tells "Ganan, hadanan prana wdus" or "buffaloes and goats served with vegetables". However, whether the buffalo and goat meat mentioned in these records was the same dishes like stews today is still uncertain.[5] For centuries, Indonesia has attracted world traders for its natural resources. Exotic flavors of Indonesian spices such as nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon have attracted traders. Foreign traders and immigrants brought their culture, which gradually blended into everyday Indonesian culture. This assimilation has developed a blend of traditions of the archipelago, including culinary.

Kopi is the Indonesian word for coffee. Luwak is a local name of the Asian palm civet in Sumatra.[1][8] Palm civets are primarily frugivorous, feeding on berries and pulpy fruits such as figs and palms. Civets also eat small vertebrates, insects, ripe fruits and seeds.[9] Producers of the coffee beans argue that the process may improve coffee through two mechanisms, selection and digestion. Selection occurs as the civets choose which cherries to eat - i.e. those that are most ripe and flawless. Digestive mechanisms may improve the flavor profile of the coffee beans that have been eaten. The civet eats the cherries for the fleshy pulp, then in the digestive tract, fermentation occurs. The civet's protease enzymes seep into the beans, making shorter peptides and more free amino acids.[10] Early production began when beans were gathered in the wild from where a civet would defecate as a means to mark its territory. On farms, civets are either caged or allowed to roam within defined boundaries.[1] ...

This was an experimental animal study in which the researchers describe an animal model of alcohol withdrawal (abstinence), which allowed them to test mice behaviours linked to depression. They also investigated the effect of antidepressants in mice that had voluntarily drank alcohol for 28 days and, using a microscope, they examined parts of the brain linked to alcoholism/depression. The researchers selected nine-week-old male mice known by the numbers C57BL/6J. The mice were weighed and handled daily for seven days so that they became accustomed to their cages and the laboratory. There were two parts to the study. In the first part, 36 animals were randomly assigned to one of three groups. All were given two bottles allowing them a free choice of alcohol or water for 28 days, and they had all been injected with a marker that stains developing nerve cells. The behaviour of one group of 12 mice was tested after one day of abstinence, and a second group of 12 was tested after 14 days. The ...
