In Lima during the summer months, ambulatory sales do not meet quality standards for the sale of bottled water. A recent study by Shotyk et al, reported elevated levels of antimony in potable water stored in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers1 For this reason, the concentration of antimony in bottled water was studied in three samples during the months of February and March of 2013 of ambulatory sale on Alfonso Ugarte and Nicolás de Piérola avenues of metropolitan Lima in relation to the environmental temperature of sampling and the time of packaging. It was found that the average concentration of antimony on Alfonso Ugarte avenue was 1610 ng/L, The average concentration of antimony on Nicolás de Piérola avenue was 1600 ng/L. The antimony concentration of the samples of bottled water of ambulatory sale on Alfonso Ugarte and Nicolás de Piérola avenues was less than the máx...

En Lima durante los meses de verano, la venta ambulatoria no reúne los estándares de calidad para la venta de agua embotellada. Un estudio reciente de Shotyk y colaboradores, reportó niveles de antimonio elevados en el agua potable almacenada en envases de tereftalato de polietileno (PET). Por eso, se estudió la concentración de antimonio en agua embotellada de venta ambulatoria, en tres muestreos durante los meses de febrero y marzo del 2013 en las avenidas Alfonso Ugarte y Nicolás de Piérola de lima metropolitana en relación a la temperatura ambiental de muestreo y al tiempo de envasado. Se encontró que la media de concentración de antimonio en la avenida Alfonso Ugarte fue de 1610 ng/L, la media de concentración de antimonio en la avenida Nicolás de Piérola fue 1600 ng/L. La concentración de antimonio de las muestras de agua embotellada de venta ambulatoria en las avenid...

The purpose of this study was to assess whether the loss of fur and changes in liver enzymes, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), produced in albino mice by oral administration of carbon tetrachloride and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (1:1), 2 mL/kg dose, are reversible processes when administered modified aloe gel (GSM) orally daily dose of 8 mL/kg of weight. Tests carried out at 13, 18 and 33 days from starting treatment with GSM, was evidenced significant and progressive decrease in AST and ALT without significant variations in proteins and phosphatases; whereas triglyceride level by the effect of GSM (group B), experienced significant decrease during the first week compared to mice given CCl4+DMSO mixture (group A), specimens that also recovered the fur on its chest and muzzle at 33 days of starting the experiment. The mice in the groups: control, GSM, DM...
