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 abstractEffect of Exercise Training on Adiponectin Receptor Expression and Insulin Resistance in Mice Fed a High Fat DietNaglaa Fathy Alhusseini, Nasr Arafat Belacy, Enas Mohammed Kasem, Mona Maher AllamProblem statement: Adiponectin is an adipocyte secreted hormones, exerts its effects via the specific receptors. AdipoR1 and adipoR2 and plays a pivotal role in lipid and glucose metabolism. Approach: We investigated the effect of increased physical activities on insulin resistance and if this effect is modulated through adiponectin receptor expression. Results: We also assessed the effect of High Fat Diet … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLife Extension by Anti-Aging Drugs: Hormetic Explanation?A.M. VaisermanA number of chemicals including antioxidants, vitamins and hormones are widely advertised as anti-aging drugs (geroprotectors). It is usually believed that life-extending capacity of geroprotectors may be attributed to their specific anti-aging mechanisms, even without solid scientific evidence. The analysis of the survival data gathered by both anti-aging and hormetic interventions demonstrates that many essential similarities exist between them. The … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Alloxan-Diabetes on Gastrin-Releasing Peptide (GRP) Immunoreactivity in the Gastrointestinal Tract, of Sprague Dawley Rats and How This May Affect Some of the Diabetic ComplicationsEdward O. Uche-Nwachi, Camille V. MitchellGastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) is the mammalian analogue of bombesin. Both neuroendocrine peptides have similar distribution, functions and immunoreactivity. The immunoreactivity for GRP has been demonstrated in the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. This peptide is reported to have various biological and pharmacological properties, which include the release of gastrointestinal hormones, control of satiety, gastrointestinal motility and stimulation of cellular proliferation … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical Effects of Recombinant Porcine Somatotropin on Pig Fetal Growth and Metabolism: A ReviewD. Villanueva-García, S. A. Olmos-Hernández, D. Mota-Rojas et al.Prenatal development is mainly dependent on a close interrelation between nutritional supply use and regulation by hormones and growth factors. Mechanisms during early embryonic development are sensitive to manipulation through selected management strategies of the sow and modifications of this strategy may serve as a model for the examination of molecular and cellular events controlling early embryonic growth. The administration … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeptin and Adiponectin in the HIV Associated Metabolic Syndrome: Physiologic and Therapeutic ImplicationsSotirios Tsiodras, Christos MantzorosLeptin and adiponectin represent two newly discovered adipose tissue derived hormones with important roles in energy homeostasis and insulin resistance. Their interrelations with the manifestations of the HIV associated metabolic syndrome and specific somatomorphic changes i.e. fat redistribution is reviewed. A synopsis of published studies is presented and the potential role of leptin and adiponectin is discussed. We have described … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 10,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormonal and Metabolic Disorders of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection and Substance AbuseJag H. Khalsa, Frank Vocci, Adrian DobsThere are an estimated 200 million users of an illicit drug in the world today. In addition, an estimated 40 million people are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and an estimated 180 million people are infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Both the use of an illicit drug and the co-occurrence of infections are associated with a … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNanoceramic Matrices: Biomedical ApplicationsWilli Paul, Chandra P. SharmaNatural bone consisted of calcium phosphate with nanometer-sized needle-like crystals of approximately 5-20 nm width by 60 nm length. Synthetic calcium phosphates and Bioglass are biocompatible and bioactive as they bond to bone and enhance bone tissue formation. This property is attributed to their similarity with the mineral phase of natural bone except its constituent particle size. Calcium phosphate ceramics … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,361 accessesView PDFCite
