Molecular characterization of interferon regulatory factor 1 in Bubalus bubalis
Authors: N.B. Stafuzza, M.M. Borges and M.E.J. Amaral-Trusty
Interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) is functionally diverse in the regulation of immune response and is considered to be an important candidate gene for studying disease susceptibility in mammals. In this paper, we characterized the whole sequence of the IRF1 gene in river buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) and compared genomic and the amino acid sequences betwe.. Read More»

Correlation between adiponectin and hemorrhagic shock in mice
Authors: X. Gong, Y. Liu, S. Yao, J.F. Zheng, F. Wan, X.D. Xiang and X.P. Chai
The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between adiponectin (ADPN) and hemorrhagic shock (HS) and the recovery after HS. This is significant for further understanding of the pathophysiological processes of HS and the development of better treatments. In total, 72 male C57BL/6 mice were assigned randomly to three groups: control, HS, and reco.. Read More»

Effects of propofol and etomidate pretreatment on glucocorticoid receptor expression following induction of sepsis in rats
Authors: C. Wang, N. Liu, R.-M. Li, Y. Zhang, L. Shen and J.-Y. Xiong
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of etomidate and propofol pretreatment on the expression of glucocorticoid receptor and the prognosis of sepsis. The sepsis rat was used as a model. During glucocorticoid treatment, etomidate and propofol were applied alone or together at different time points. Survival curves, glucocorticoid receptor expr.. Read More»

An efficient protocol for tissue sampling and DNA isolation from the stem bark of Leguminosae trees
Authors: R.M.L. Novaes J.G. Rodrigues M.B. Lovato
Traditionally, molecular studies of plant species have used leaves as the source of DNA. However, sampling leaves from tall tree species can be quite difficult and expensive. We developed a sequence of procedures for using stem bark as a source of DNA from Leguminosae trees of the Atlantic Forest and the Cerrado. Leguminosae i.. Read More»

Transcriptome analysis of skeletal muscle at prenatal stages in Polled Dorset versus Small-tailed Han sheep
Authors: N. Liu, J.N. He, W.M. Yu, K.D. Liu, M. Cheng, J.F. Liu, Y.H. He, J.S. Zhao and X.X. Qu
The objectives of the present study were to identify additional genes that may play important roles in the regulation of skeletal muscle growth and development, and to provide fundamental information for understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms. Eighteen cDNA libraries were constructed from the longissimus muscle of Polled Dorset (PD) and Small-t.. Read More»

Genotype and allele frequencies of MDR1 gene C1236T polymorphism in a Turkish population
Authors: G. g�¼m�¼��-akay, A. r�¼stemo��lu, A. karada�� and A. sunguro��lu
Human P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is encoded by the MDR1 gene, which is located on chromosomal region 7q21 and consists of 28 exons. To date, over 50 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported for the MDR1 gene. The effect of these polymorphisms on P-gp function or their clinical impact is in most cases unknown, but some of the SNPs are known to .. Read More»

Molecular markers in commercial Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) hybrids susceptible to multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus
Authors: L.F.C. Ribeiro D.B. Zanatta J.P. Bravo R.M.C. Brancalh�£o M.A. Fernandez
The silkworm Bombyx mori L. is particularly susceptible to virus diseases, especially B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV). Disease resistance, along with high productivity, are important selection criteria for developing commercial hybrids of B. mori. We used bioassays and molecular markers linked to susceptibility/resistance.. Read More»

Incidence of neural tube defects in Afyonkarahisar, Western Turkey
Authors: S.T. Onrat H. Seyman M. Konuk
The incidence of neural tube defects is higher in Turkey compared to that of developed countries. To prevent congenital malformations, understanding of the current status is necessary, which should be followed by public-based activities. We examined the incidence rate of neural tube defects (NTDs) in Afyonkarahisar. According .. Read More»

Characterization of yolk sac proteins of Bos indicus cattle embryos
Authors: F.S. Matsumoto V.C. Oliveira C.A.F. Man�§anares C.E. Ambr�³sio M.A. Miglino
The yolk sac is an embryonic membrane that is essential for the embryoâÂ?Â?s initial survival in many mammals. It also plays an important role in the production of proteins necessary for development. We studied proteins of the yolk sac in bovine embryos at up to 40 days of gestation. We examined the yolk sac of 17 bovine embryos at different gestational per.. Read More»

Authors: R.M.C. Brancalh�£o E.F.B. Torquato M.A. Fernandez
A multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus previously isolated from infected Bombyx mori L. larvae (BmMNPV) in Paraná state, Brazil, was inoculated into B. mori larvae to examine susceptibility and cytopathology in silk gland cells. The anterior, middle and posterior silk glands were removed from the infected silkworm at different.. Read More»
