Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioinformatics Analysis of Some Functional Genes and Proteins Involved in Obesity-Induced Type 2 DiabetesEhab M. Abdella, Rasha R. Ahmed, Mohamed B. Ashour et al.The incidence of type-2 diabetes is rising rapidly worldwide, mainly because of the increase in the incidence of obesity, which is an important risk factor for this condition. Both obesity and type-2 diabetes are complex genetic traits but they also share some nongenetic risk factors. Differences among individuals in their susceptibility to both these conditions probably reflect their genetic constitutions. … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 6 May 2013 · 12,601 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Saffron on Histomorphometric Changes of Testicular Tissue in RatMirhadi Khayatnouri, Seyed Esmail Safavi, Saied Safarmashaei et al.Problem statement: Saffron is widely used as a food flavor and has well known medicinal effects. This drug has an effect on steroid and sexual hormones. The aim of this study was investigation of Saffron orally administration on histomorphometric change of testicular tissue in rat. In this experimental study, 40 male rats are used (4 groups and 10 rats in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,965 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Intrahippocampal γ Aminobutyrate B Receptor on Pain Sensitivity during Estrous CycleMahnaz Taherianfard, Rohollah GhorbaniProblem statement: There is a relationship between sexual hormones and pain sensitivity and also a role for hippocampal GABAB receptor in nociception. Therefore, the aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the effect of intrahippocampal injection of GABAB receptor agonist (baclofen) and GABAB receptor antagonist (CGP35348) on pain sensitivity during the estrous cycle. Approach: Forty eight adult female rats … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 26 Nov 2011 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring Levothyroxine Dose during Pregnancy: A Prospective StudyJuhi Agarwal, Sirimavo Nair, Tarun SekhriProblem statement: Thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women can influence the outcome for mother and fetus at all stages of pregnancy. As the fetus is entirely dependent on maternal thyroid hormones for its development until about 13 weeks of gestation, it is important to ensure adequate thyroxine substitution in pregnant women during the first trimester. The aim of this prospective study … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 17 Nov 2011 · 9,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCell Surface Receptor Theory of Disease Infectivity; Body's Defence and Normal Body Functioning in Living ThingsUtoh-Nedosa, Uchechukwu AnastasiaProblem statement: A study of the pattern of Candida spp. infection of the human body and the mode and pattern of reaction of the human body to this infection showed that disease infectivity and self healing by plants followed the same procedures and patterns. Approach: A comparism of these procedures and patterns of natural self- healing of disease infection by … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 Oct 2011 · 7,240 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Different Exogeneous Compounds on Biosorption of EndosulfanDeepika Dave, A. K. DikshitProblem statement: Organochlorine pesticide endosulfan is widely used as a replacement for DDT and dieldrin in many parts of the world. Presence of residual pesticides in the water, air and soil environment was confirmed since 1960s. Such Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are of concern because of their long-term subtle effects on hormones, the immune system and reproduction. Therefore, it becomes … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynergistic Effect of Insulin on in vitro Development of Immature Bovine OocytesMojtaba Dashtizad, Abd Wahid Haron, Rosnina Yusoff et al.Problem statement: Development of efficient culture system to support embryonic development would be valuable when quality of produced embryos was important. However, the rate of bovine embryo production in vitro was still lower than expected. Present study, including of three experiments, was carried out to investigate the effect of insulin on nuclear maturation and subsequent development of immature bovine oocytes … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 10,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethamphetamine Regulation of Sulfotransferases in Rat Liver and BrainTianyan Zhou, Chaoqun Huang, Yue Chen et al.Problem statement: Sulfotransferases (SULTs) are important phase II drug metabolizing enzymes. They also regulate the biological activities of various hormones. To the best of our knowledge, psychostimulants regulation of SULTs is basically not studied except one article reported that Methamphetamine (METH) treatment induced rat amygdale rSULT1A1 mRNA 4.3 fold by using microarray method to identify a series of candidate genes … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,683 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Enzyme Supplementation on Performance, Carcass characteristics, Carcass Composition and Some Blood Parameters of Broiler ChickenH. HajatiProblem statement: Endogenous enzymes of broilers cannot adequately digest nonstarch polysaccharides and subsequently the ingestion of high levels of soluble NSP leads to increased digesta viscosity and reduced nutrient digestibility and absorption. Supplementation of NSPs degrading enzymes may remove the anti nutritive effects of NSPs and release some nutrients (starch, protein) from these elements. Therefore, in a completely randomized design … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,649 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Salivary Electrolytes during Normal Menstrual Cycle with Special Reference to OvulationS. Alagendran, Govindaraju Archunan, Enrique Orozco Bonnila Armando, Rosalinda Guevara GuzmanThere is evidence to imply that estrogen influences salivary electrolytes activity in women. Problem statement: In this study we investigated changes in sodium, potassium and inorganic phosphorus, calcium and magnesium which related to find out the precise day of ovulation. These changes might help to explain the fluctuation of ovarian hormones such as preovulatory estrogen surge. Approach: Human whole saliva … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,805 accessesView PDFCite
