Authors: C.E.S. Zago, A.L. Ferrarezi, L.D. Vizotto, C. Oliveira, S.R.P. Cabral, S.R. Taboga, G.O. Bonilla-Rodriguez, L.P.R. Venancio and C.R. Bonini-Domingos
Complete blood counts and hemoglobin isoform data were gathered from 36 specimens of the turtle species Phrynops geoffroanus from the northwestern region of São Paulo State, Brazil. They were collected in an urban area. The hemoglobin profiles were obtained after red blood cell lysis and by electrophoretic migration in .. Read More»

Novel zinc protease gene isolated from Dictyostelium discoideum is structurally related to mammalian leukotriene A4 hydrolase
Authors: D. Fan and L.S. Hou
The allantoicase (allC) gene of Dictyostelium discoideum allC RNAi mutant strain was silenced using the RNA interference technique. The mutant strain is motile, aggregated, and could not undergo further morphological development. The growth rate is high and the cells show a shortened cell cycle comparing with wild-type D. discoideum. However, the mechanis.. Read More»

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Cyclemys dentata and phylogenetic analysis of the major family Geoemydidae
Authors: Y.N. Huang, J. Li, Q.Y. Jiang, X.S. Shen, X.Y. Yan, Y.B. Tang, J. Huang, Y.F. Guo, G.Q. Lan and H.S. Jiang
In the present study, the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Cyclemys dentata was determined using PCR reactions. The structural organization and gene order of C. dentata were equivalent to those of most other vertebrates. The mt genome was 16,489 bp in length, has rich A+T content, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 trans.. Read More»

Screening and characterization of new microsatellite markers in Fenneropenaeus penicillatus
Authors: J.B. Shangguan, Z.B. Li, Q.H. Li, G. Dai and Y.F. Ning
Fenneropenaeus penicillatus, with high protein and low fat, is a commercially important aquatic product in China. Microsatellite loci were developed according to the protocol of fast isolation by amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequences containing repeats. Eight new polymorphic microsatellite markers for F. penicill.. Read More»

Influence of neural stem cell transplantation on angiogenesis in rats with spinal cord injury
Authors: Z. Li, G.-H. Guo, G.-S. Wang, C.-X. Guan and L. Yue
We examined the influence of neural stem cell transplantation on angiogenesis in rats with spinal cord injury. Sixty rats with spinal cord injury were divided into an experimental group and a control group and given neural stem cells or an equivalent amount of phosphate-buffered saline by intravenous transplantation, respectiv..

Identification and evaluation of polymorphisms in FABP3 and FABP4 in beef cattle
Authors: I.M.Z. Blecha, F. Siqueira, A.B.R. Ferreira, G.L.D. Feij�³, R.A.A. Torres Junior, S.R. Medeiros2, I.I. Sousa, G.G. Santiago and A.L.J. Ferraz
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were screened in FABP3 and FABP4 by automatic sequencing of pools of DNA from crossbred animals whose phenotypes belonged to the upper and lower extremes for back fat and marbling, as well as of a pool of DNA from sires used for crossbreeding. Five SNPs were identified in FABP3 and another nine SNPs were identified i.. Read More»

Effect of GBOT on blood lipid and blood glucose metabolism in rats with atherosclerosis
Authors: A. Rong, G. Borjihan and Y.J. Qiao
We observed the variation in in vivo blood lipid and blood glucose metabolism in rats with atherosclerosis after 5-(3,4-dihydroxy-phenyl)-1-piperidin-1-yl-penta-2,4-dien-1-one (GBOT) administration. Wistar rats aged 10 weeks received a high-fat diet to establish the atherosclerosis model. Metabolic indices related to blood lipid and blood glucose were mea.. Read More»

Brycon is one of the main genera of Neotropical freshwater fish. In Brazil, Brycon species have been found in many hydrographic basins, such as the Amazon, Paraná, Paraguay, and Araguaia-Tocantins basins. We examined the phylogenetic relationships among the species Brycon orbignyanus, B. hilarii, B. cf. pesu, B. cephalu.. Read More»
