Similarly, low concentrations of the mucus and fillet extract enhanced the effects of morphine in the abdominal constriction test. Collectively, these results suggest a scientific basis for the folklore practice of eating haruan fish in the post-operative period for pain relief: Haruan extracts have antinociceptive activity and enhance the activity of other antinociceptive agents.

The potential of arachidonic acid (AA) in pharmaceutical field had been discovered for a long time. AA is known as a fatty acid that can help information transfer of nerve systems, other than involves in growth and repair of skeletal muscle tissue. Microorganisms such as yeasts are one of the sources that can be commercialized as AA producer. By using microorganisms, the production process become less complicated compared to using animal source, and the 'Halal' standard can be fixed. The works done in this research investigate the optimum condition for AA production from yeast. In this research, the best culture condition that produced the highest yield of AA was determined by varying the pH, the carbon source and the agitation speed. The range of pH is 5 to 9. The carbon sources that were used are sucrose, starch and the mixture of sucrose and starch. Speed of incubator shaker was set at 50 rpm, 150 rpm and 250 rpm. Extraction of lipid was done by using twostep Bligh and Dyer (1959) method. Chloroform and methanol were added in specific ratio before centrifugation. The lower phase which contain lipid was collected. After evaporation, the lipid extract was dissolved in small volume of chloroform and methanol. The lipids obtained were analyzed in gas chromatography. The highest dry biomass concentration was produced at a culture at pH 7 and 250 rpm agitation rate by using sucrose while the highest yield of AA was produced at pH 7 and 150 rpm agitation rate by using sucrose as carbon source. AA production from yeast had shown advantages over other sources. Further studies on optimization of AA production should be directed at varying other significant parameters including nutrients needed and method of extraction. The findings in this study will be helpful for other research about AA in the future.

The freshwater snail Indoplanorbis exustus, locally known as siput kiki, was collected from three sampling stations, namely Ranau, Membakut and Kota Belud on the west coast of Sabah, Malaysia.These areas have rice fields, and are known to be exposed to pesticides and other agrochemicals. The snails contained 87.77+0.80% water in flesh and 42.77+0.01% in shell. Magnesium (4.31 ug/g), iron (28.0 ug/g) and nickel (1.5 ug/g). Manganese (21.4 ug/g), lead (13.5 ug/g) and calcium (313.40 ug/g) were higher in the shell than in the flesh (Mn 14.83 ug/g, Pb 4.00 ug/g, Ca 290.15 ug/g). Copper and zinc were evenly distributed in the flesh (0.12 ug/g, 6.75 ug/g)and shell (0.21 ug/g, 6.25 ug/g). The levels of the heavy metals in the flesh were still well below the levels toxic to human. [Author's abstract].
