These results are consistent with Mossini et al[19]. who showed the significant reduction of Penicillium verrucosum and Penicillium brevicompactum using neem leaf extract and neem oil. The quantification of citrinin was also done by HPLC by comparing the retention times of the culture extracts with that of standrad sample of citrinin. HPLC elution profiles from the broth of P. notatum and A. niger isolates from all the tested plant extracts showed

Isolation of exosomes from human serum The initial volume of serum for the experiments was 4 mL per sample. The samples were diluted with an equal volume of PBS (AppliChem‚ St. Louis‚ MO) to decrease the viscosity. The diluted serum samples were centrifuged at 2‚000×g for 10 min and 10‚000×g for 30 min at 4 °C to remove dead cells and cell debris. The supernatant was transferred into Ultra-ClearTM tubes (Beckman Coulter‚ Indianapolis‚ IN) and centrifuged at 100‚000×g using a Beckman Optima XL-70

His descriptions of all his types of suicide are not caused by simple despair and depression; his quantification leads to more tangibility. His significant findings were in-depth descriptions and explanations of each type of suicide. He thoroughly analyzed each type through statistical interpretation.
