Genetic polymorphisms of LPL and HL and their association with the performance of Chinese sturgeons fed a formulated diet
Authors: Y. He1*, D. Shen1*, X.F. Liang1, R.H. Lu1 and H. Xiao2
It is very important to investigate the reasons for the large individual differences in individual performance of food acceptance when using formulated diets for the successful culture of larvae and juveniles of the Chinese sturgeon Acipenser sinensis. Genetic differences of the mitochondrial control region were investigated by direct sequencing in two gr.. Read More»

Effect of chromosome constitution variations on the expression of Turner phenotype
Authors: A.V.S. Bispo, L.O. dos Santos, P. Bur�©gio-Frota, M.B. Galdino,A.R. Duarte, G.F. Leal, J. Ara�ºjo, B. Gomes, E.M. Soares-Ventura, M.T.C. Muniz and N. Santos
Turner syndrome (TS) is a chronic disease related to haploinsufficiency of genes that are normally expressed in both X chromosomes in patients with female phenotype that is associated with a wide range of somatic malformations. We made detailed cytogenetic and clinical analysis of 65 patients with TS from the region of Recife, Brazil, to determine the eff.. Read More»

Association between adipose tissue expression and serum levels of leptin and adiponectin in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Authors: S.B. Lecke, D.M. Morsch and P.M. Spritzer
We reviewed emerging evidence linking serum levels and adipose tissue expression of leptin and adiponectin in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Previous data obtained by our group from a sample of overweight/obese PCOS women and a control sample of normal weight controls, both stratified by BMI, were reanalyzed. Circulating levels of leptin and.. Read More»

Comparison of bivariate and multivariate joint analyses on the selection loss of beef cattle
Authors: V.B. Pedrosa, E. Groeneveld, J.P. Eler and J.B.S. Ferraz
For genetic evaluation of beef cattle, univariate or bivariate analyses are often performed as an alternative to decrease the complexity of matrices and mathematical models compared to multivariate analysis, which considers a larger number of joint traits. The use of bivariate methods to calculate genetic predictors may cause .. Read More»

Cloning and expression analysis of PpSUT2 encoding a sucrose transporter in pear
Authors: J. Tang, J. Lin, B.L. Zhang, Z.H. Wang, X.G. Li and Y.H. Chang
A 1794-bp cDNA fragment was amplified from mRNA isolated from pear (Pyrus pyrifolia NaKai. Cuiguan) leaves by using primers based on the sequences generated during the analysis of the pear transcriptome. The 597-amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA was compared with the sequences in GenBank, and it was found to be similar to that of members of the sucr.. Read More»

Different timing and spatial separation of parental chromosomes in intergeneric somatic hybrids between Brassica napus and Orychophragmus violaceus
Authors: L. Ding, Z.G. Zhao, X.H. Ge and Z.Y. Li
Experimental and newly formed hybrids and polyploids generated by wide crosses usually show varying degrees of cytological instability. The spatial separation of parental genomes and uniparental chromosome elimination in hybrid cells has been reported in many hybrids from plants and animals. Herein, the behavior of parental ge..

Genetic variations in MOV10 and CACNB2 are associated with hypertension in a Chinese Han population
Authors: G.L. Hong, X.Z. Chen, Y. Liu, Y.H. Liu, X. Fu, S.B. Lin and Q. Zhu
Human hypertension is a complex, multifactorial disease. Multiple variants associated with hypertension have been identified in the large numbers of genome-wide association studies, meta-analysis, and case-control studies. The present study investigated the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of five candidate genes and the susc.. Read More»

Molecular phylogenetic relationships among members of the family Phytolaccaceae sensu lato inferred from internal transcribed spacer sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA
Authors: J. Lee, S.Y. Kim, S.H. Park and M.A. Ali
The phylogeny of a phylogenetically poorly known family, Phytolaccaceae sensu lato (s.l.), was constructed for resolving conflicts concerning taxonomic delimitations. Cladistic analyses were made based on 44 sequences of the internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA from 11 families (Aizoaceae, Basellaceae, Didiereaceae, Molluginaceae, Nyctagin..

Differentiation of neonatal dorsal root ganglion-derived neural stem cells into oligodendrocytes after intrathecal transplantation into a cauda equina lesion model
Authors: Z.Y. Fu, J.G. Shi, N. Liu, L.S. Jia, W. Yuan, Y. Wang
Cauda equina syndrome (CES) is characterized by varying patterns of low back pain, sciatica, lower extremity sensorimotor loss, and bowel and bladder dysfunction. The prognosis for complete recovery of CES is dependent on not only the time before surgical intervention with decompression but also the severity of the nerve damag.. Read More»

Construction and functional study of pGN, a mammary gland-specific expression plasmid
Authors: J. Lin, Q.H. Yu, Q. Zhang and Q. Yang
The aim of this study was to construct a mammary gland-specific expression vector, pGN, and to validate its function in expressing growth hormone (GH) both in vitro and in vivo. First, the GH gene was amplified and inserted downstream of the b-casein 5'-arm. Next, the neo gene was cloned downstream of the b-casein 3'-arm as a .. Read More»
