Hypoxia-related gene expression in porcine skeletal muscle tissues at different altitude
Authors: J. Zhang, L. Chen, K.R. Long and Z.P. Mu
Hypoxia influences many physiological processes, such as respiration, cardiovascular, neurophysiology, and digestion. Skeletal muscle is an important motor organ, which relies on oxygen of oxidation; however, the study of hypoxia in skeletal muscle is lacking. In order to understand the effect of hypoxia on skeletal muscle, we determined the expression le.. Read More»

Lack of interpopulation genetic structure in the genus Stegastes (Perciformes) with indication of local introgression
Authors: E.A. Dias Jr., A.S. Souza and W.F. Molina
The family Pomacentridae comprises about 326 species belonging to 28 genera. The genus Stegastes is composed of nearly 33 species, and 8 are endemic to the Brazilian Province, inhabiting the Brazilian coast (Stegastes fuscus, S. variabilis, S. leucosticus, S. uenfi, and S. pictus) or Western Atlantic oceanic islands (S. trinda..

Genetic diversity of wild soybean populations in Dongying, China, by simple sequence repeat analysis
Authors: Y.H. Wang, X.J. Zhang and S.J. Fan
Annual wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc.), the ancestor of cultivated soybean (G. max), is believed to be a potential gene source for further improvement of soybean to cope with environmental stress. In this study, 10 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and population genetic structure in five wild soyb.. Read More»

Expression and hypoxia adaptation analysis of the EPO gene in different tissues of plateau Tibetan pigs
Authors: B.Z. Deji, P. Shang, W.J. Danzeng, H. Zhang and Y.Z. Qiangba
This study aimed to observe the expression characteristics of the erythropoietin (EPO) gene in different tissues of Tibetan pigs and to explore the adaptation to hypoxic environments. The cDNA in heart, liver, lung, kidney, muscle, brain, and fat of Tibetan pigs was used as the template. Through the number of cycles of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR),.. Read More»

Morphological analysis and muscle-associated gene expression during different muscle growth phases of Megalobrama amblycephala
Authors: K.C. Zhu, D.H. Yu, J.K. Zhao, W.M. Wang and H.L. Wang
Skeletal muscle growth is regulated by both positive and negative factors, such as myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) and myostatin (MSTN), and involves both hyperplasia and hypertrophy. In the present study, morphological changes during muscle development in Megalobrama amblycephala were characterized and gene expression levels were measured by quantitat.. Read More»

Effects of 6-week specific low-intensity training on selected aerobic capacity parameters and HSPA1A, HSPB1, and LDHb gene expression in high-level rowers
Authors: Z. Jastrz��bski and M. �»ychowska
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effects of 6-week low-intensity training on changes in indicators of aerobic capacity and on HSPA1A, HSPB1, and LDHb expression in white blood cells in high level rowers. We hypothesized that the type of training would have an impact not only on the adaptation of athletes to the aerobic nature of the exercises,.. Read More»

The noggin2 gene of Gekko japonicus (Gekkonidae) is down-regulated in the spinal cord after tail amputation
Authors: Y. Liu, Y.L. Zhou, Y.Y. Qian, Y.J. Wang, F. Ding, X.S. Gu and M. Liu
The cDNA encoding noggin2 protein was obtained from the brain and spinal cord cDNA library of Gekko japonicus. The size of the noggin2 transcript and its expression in different tissues were analyzed by Northern blot analysis. In situ hybridization revealed positive hybridization signals in both gray and white matter of the sp.. Read More»

Evaluation of genetic similarity between accessions of Pityrocarpa moniliformis (angico-de-bezerro) using RAPD markers
Authors: F.M.S. Sousa, R.M. Mendes, R.F.M. Mendes, R.B. Araujo Neto, M.P.S.B.C. Nascimento and P.S.C. Lima
Pityrocarpa moniliformis (Benth.) Luckow and Jobson, commonly known as angico-de-bezerro, is a forage legume that occurs naturally in the Caatinga of northeastern Brazil. This fast growing, vigorous, melliferous tree is well adapted to arid terrains and its branches and leaves possess high nutritional value. However, the scarcity of information r.. Read More»

Meta-analysis of epidemiological studies of association of P53 codon 72 polymorphism with bladder cancer
Authors: D.B. Li, X. Wei, L.H. Jiang, Y. Wang and F. Xu
Although there have been many studies investigating a possible association between p53 codon 72 polymorphism and risk of bladder cancer, the results have been inconsistent. We conducted a meta-analysis of six epidemiological studies, which included 597 bladder cancer cases and 731 controls. Patients with bladder cancer had a s.. Read More»
