Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPhenotypic Diversity of South African Indigenous Goat Population in Selected Rural AreasTlou Caswell Chokoe, Tlou Cornelia Matelele, Ayanda Maqhashu et al.Phenotypic characterisation of indigenous goat populations is crucial in providing information on goat types and their attributes and may play an important role as guideline for conservation and sustainable us of these resources. The objective of this study was to characterise indigenous goat populations in rural areas of South Africa. Appearance of indigenous goat phenotypes and their typical features were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2020 · 8,233 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssociation of Anthropometric and Metabolic Variables with Cardiovascular Disease among Urban and Rural OriginBadaruddoza, Kushal Gill, Raman KumarProblem statement: We have examined the prevalence and association of cardiovascular diseases with respect to obesity and metabolic risk factors clustering among urban and rural Punjabi males aged 20-55 years. Obesity has been defined by increased Waist Circumference (WC), Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Hip Ratio (WHR). Metabolic traits such as increased total cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoproteins have also … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 7,468 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInheritance of Leaf Characters in Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.)Alfredo Morales, Dania RodríguezThis study aimed to establish foundational knowledge regarding the inheritance patterns of two foliar traits (leaf morphology and midrib pigmentation) in Ipomoea batatas. To overcome the challenges associated with discretely classifying color and shape frequencies, five morphometric descriptors were employed. Two of these parameters addressed leaf shape (Circularity and Aspect Ratio), while three characterized the color of the central vein … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 3 Jul 2026 · 1,409 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDihydroartemisinin Attenuates HBV-Induced Proliferation and Migration in LO2 cells via EMT Pathway ModulationYingde Nong, Caifang Ma, Wei Huang et al.Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a derivative of artemisinin, possesses well-documented anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated the inhibitory effects of DHA on hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced cellular alterations in LO2 cells and elucidated underlying molecular mechanisms. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were measured in HBV patients and analyzed for correlations with HBsAg, anti-HBs, and HBeAg. In vitro, LO2 cells were infected with clinical HBV … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 8 Jan 2026 · 2,071 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExpression of Exosome-Derived MicroRNAs miR-21 and miR-135 are Differentially Regulated Among Dental Pulp Stem CellsMatthew Hunsaker, Brandon Richards, Adelle Fuller et al.Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) are a type of mesenchymal stem cell that has the potential to differentiate into various types of cells and tissue. Previous research has demonstrated that DPSCs can be easily accessed and isolated from both permanent and deciduous teeth, such as wisdom teeth or third molars, although there is less information available about the mechanisms and … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2023 · 10,533 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Diplotypes Associated with Meat Productivity in Cattle Breeds Common in the Territory of the Republic of KazakhstanAskar Mirzahmetovich Nametov, Indira Saltanovna Beishova, Alena Valentinovna Belaya et al.Technologies for genetic labeling of economically useful traits using polymorphic variants of genes that control the rate of growth and development of animals make it possible to assess the genetic potential of an animal immediately after birth, which significantly reduces time and financial costs. This study aimed to identify paired combinations of the genes growth hormone, growth hormone receptor, and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 17 Aug 2022 · 6,187 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelates of Resistance to Gastro-Intestinal Parasites Infection in South African Communal Indigenous Goat PopulationsTakalani Judas Mpofu, Khathutshelo Agree Nephawe, Bohani MtileniThe study was conducted to investigate the correlates of resistance to Gastro-Intestinal Parasites (GIPs) infection in South African communal indigenous goat. A total of 288 goats were randomly sampled for fecal and blood collection. Infection intensity was estimated through determining the fecal egg per gram using a modified McMaster technique. Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Hemoglobin (Hgb) and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2020 · 7,200 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Investigation of Organelle Genomes of Extra Nuclear Sunflower Mutants with Variegated PhenotypeIrina Dremuk, Nikolay Kozel, Mariya Logacheva et al.The comparative analysis of complete chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA sequences of the original inbred line 3629 and three extra nuclear mutant lines variegated-1, variegated-15, variegated-17, obtained by the N-nitroso-N-methylurea induced mutagenesis, was done. The studied mutant lines were presented two different phenotypes with diverse chlorophyll content: Pale/green mutant line variegated-17 with 1.8% relative (to 3629 line) chlorophyll content in mutant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 24 Oct 2017 · 7,633 accessesView PDF Cite
