Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Polymorphism at the Insulin Like Growth Factor-I Gene in Mazandaran Native Chicken using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism MethodHossein Ali Abbasi, Mohsen KazemiProblem statement: Molecular genetics selection on individual genes is a promising method to genetically improve economically important traits in chickens. The Insulin like Growth Factor-I (IGF1) gene may play important roles in growth of multiple tissues, including muscle cells, cartilage and bone. Approach: In the present study polymorphism of the promoter and 5' untranslated region of IGF-1 gene of Mazandaran … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 8 Aug 2011 · 7,627 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdiponectin mRNA Expression in the Cat (Felis domesticus)Angela L. Lusby, Stephen A. Kania, Joseph W. Bartges, Claudia A. KirkProblem statement: Adiponectin is a hormone expressed from adipose tissue in people, rodents and dogs. Adiponectin has anti-inflammatory action with beneficial effects on cardiovascular health and insulin sensitivity. With increasing fat mass, adiponectin concentrations paradoxically decrease. Adiponectin’s role in metabolism and diabetes mellitus is of interest in feline medicine because cats are susceptible to developing type II diabetes with weight … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2010 · 7,784 accessesView PDF Cite
