The protective effect of red cabbage extracts against hyperthyroid induced by Lthyroxine
in male rabbits was studied. Forty animals were divided randomly into
four groups. Group A: Healthy rabbits, Group B: Healthy rabbits received (100
mg/kg.b.w) red cabbage extract, Group C: hyperthyroid rabbits were given an oral
dose of (20μg/kg b.w) L-thyroxine once daily for four weeks to induce
hyperthyroidism and group D: hyperthyroid rabbits received red cabbage extract. At
the end of the experiment, blood samples were taken for biochemical analysis. The
obtained results revealed that hyperthyroid rabbits induced by L-thyroxine had
significant increase(P<0.01) in serum levels of triodothyronine (T3), Thyroxine

Maize (Zea mays L.) seeds were subjected to accelerated aging treatment for, 3,
7, and 14 days at 45 ±1 C° and 100% relative humidity. These artificially aged seeds
were compared to control (Unaged seeds) for evaluation of vigor in seeds.
Accelerated aging of Maize seeds up to three days had significant effect on
germination percentage & solute leakage. However, further increase in aging period
caused an increased in solute leakage and a decrease in germination percentage.
Germinability was lost completely at 14 days of accelerated aging. In addition, the
reduction in germination percentage was correlated with decrease in seedling length,
germination speed index, seed vigor index, seedling fresh & dry we

The nucleon momentum distributions ( NMD) for the ground state and elastic
electron scattering form factors have been calculated in the framework of the coherent
fluctuation model and expressed in terms of the weight function (fluctuation function).
The weight function has been related to the nucleon density distributions of nuclei and
determined from theory and experiment. The nucleon density distributions( NDD ) is
derived from a simple method based on the use of the single particle wave functions of
the harmonic oscillator potential and the occupation numbers of the states. The feature of
long-tail behavior at high momentum region of the NMD has been obtained using both
the theoretical and exper
