Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolymorphisms in the 5’ Flanking Region and First Exon of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Gene in Southern Populations of BuffaloSaber Khederzadeh, Ahmad YazdanpanahThe Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) system plays a critical endocrine role controlling nutrient metabolism in animals and it is a group of structurally-related polypeptides that regulate the growth of many types of mammalian cells. In liver, IGF-1 is dynamically regulated by lactation and energy balance. Less is known about the regulation of IGF-1 and IGF-binding protein mRNA in reproductive … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 6,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolymorphism of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Gene in Najdi Cattle PopulationsAhmad Yazdanpanah, Khalil Mirzadeh, Morteza Mamouei et al.The Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) system plays a critical endocrine role controlling nutrient metabolism in dairy cattle and it is a group of structurally-related polypeptides that regulate the growth of many types of mammalian cells. In liver, IGF-1 is dynamically regulated by lactation and energy balance. Less is known about the regulation of IGF-1 and IGF-binding protein mRNA in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 7,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical Alterations Induced by Amylin in Wistar RatsMohamed Mohamed Soliman, Zein Shaban IbrahimAmylin is a peptide hormone synthesized in β cells of pancreas together with insulin in response to glucose and nutrients. Amylin controls food intake and body weight but the exact mechanism is still unknown. This study aimed to examine the effects of amylin injection on hormones, metabolites and cytokines expression in rats. Wistar rats were injected amylin Intraperitoneally (IP) (10 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 7 Jun 2013 · 6,767 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Characterization of Inflammatory and Structural Markers within the Rumen Epithelium During Grain-Induced Ruminal Acidosis in Lactating Dairy CattleL. Dionissopoulos, M. A. Steele, O. AlZahal et al.The objective of this study was to characterize the mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory and structural genes in the rumen epithelium during grain-induced ruminal acidosis in lactating dairy cattle. A total of 16 rumen-fistulated, lactating Holstein dairy cattle (618±35 kg of body weight, 221±32 days in milk) were used in a randomized complete block design study. All cattle were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2012 · 8,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary Fats and Heart Disease: From Prenatal to Postnatal EnvironmentSukhinder K. CheemaProblem statement: Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and is dramatically increasing in developing countries. Preventive approaches, such as dietary and lifestyle changes can have major health implications to prevent the onset of heart disease. Besides healthy nutrition in the adult life, maternal nutrition during pregnancy and lactation can also have a significant impact on the outcome … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 10 Aug 2012 · 7,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Polymorphism Exon 9-11 at the Leptin Gene Receptor in Breeder Hens of Mazandaran Native FowlsHossein Ali Abbasi, Shahabodin Gharavysi, Rohullah AbdullahpourProblem statement: Leptin a 16 kD protein synthesized by white adipose tissue and involved in regulation of feed intake, energy balance, fertility and immune function. In order to evaluate the leptin gene receptor polymorphism, we have used a Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) method. Approach: Blood samples were collected from randomly chosen 100 native fowls breeding station of Mazandaran. The … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2011 · 7,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Metalloproteinase-9 Activities of Selected Indonesian Zingiberaceae Rhizome Extracts in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Human Vascular Endothelial Cells In VitroYantiProblem statement: Atherosclerosis is associated with chronic inflammation triggered by bacterial infection that activates the breakdown of extracellular matrix protein by matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs). Zingiberaceae, a group of tropical food crops grown in Indonesia and other Southeast Asia regions, has been traditionally used for food coloring, seasoning, culinary and medicinal purposes. However, its efficacy as natural vascular protection has not … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 May 2011 · 7,869 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of ced-9 dsRNA on Caenorhabditis elegans and Meloidogyne incognitaRobert T. Gaeta, Abdellatif Bahaji, Glenda W. Polack, Alejandro Calderón-UrreaAbstract: Problem Statement: In metazoans Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is essential for proper development. Suppression of PCD is needed to guarantee cell survival and in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans the regulation of PCD is accomplished by the function of the ced-9 gene. Approach: In this work the use of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) to knock-down ced-9 gene function was tested … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 9,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic and Biochemical Aspects of Ectoine Biosynthesis in Moderately Halophilic and Halotolerant Methylotrophic BacteriaValentina N. Khmelenina, Ildar I. Mustakhimov, Alexander S. Reshetnikov et al.Problem statement: The cyclic imino acid ectoine is a widely distributed compatible solute synthesizing by halophilic and halotolerant bacteria to prevent osmotic stress at high external salinity. This water-keeping compound is used in a variety of commercial cosmetics and therapeutic products. Approach: Development of integrated, predictive functional model of the metabolic and regulatory netwoks of ectoine-producing microbes is an active … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2010 · 9,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInhibition of U6 snRNA Transcription by PTENStephanie Cabarcas, Kounosuke Watabe, Laura SchrammProblem statement: RNA polymerase III (RNA pol III) is responsible for transcribing many of the small structural RNA molecules involved in RNA processing and protein translation, thereby regulating the growth rate of a cell. RNA pol III transcribes both gene internal (tRNA) and gene external (U6 snRNA) promoters and proper initiation by RNA polymerase III requires the transcription initiation factor … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,551 accessesView PDFCite
