The Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Pyrrolizidine alkaloid poisoning is triggered by ingestion of plant material having these alkaloids as examined through medical microscopy using a microscope. The plants can be eaten as food, for medicinal uses or as contaminants of other agricultural crops. As monitored through medical microscopy using a microscope, cereal crops and forage crops are at time infected […]

The Prions and Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Prions are natural proteins of animal tissues that may misfold and turn contagious. They are not considered as viruses or cellular organisms as observed by means of medical microscopy using a microscope. In their normal noninfectious status, these proteins may be included in cell to cell interaction as monitored through medical microscopy using a microscope. […]
