Differential Gene-Expression of Metallothionein 1M and 1G in Response to Zinc in Sertoli TM4 Cells
Background: Zinc (Zn) as an important trace element is essential for testicular development and spermatogenesis. Molecular mechanism of Zn action in the reproductive system may be related to metal binding low-molecular weight proteins, metallothioneins (MT). Our objective was to determine the effect of Zn on two important isoforms of MT, MT1M and MT1G genes expression on testicular sertoli cell...
متن کاملIdentification of metallothionein gene structure in sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus)
Aquatic organisms present, not only simple sources of accumulated metal, but can interact with metals, altering their toxicity. Due to exposition of biosphere with metals, organisms have developed various defense mechanisms to protect themselves against adverse effects of these ions and their compounds. Metallothionein (MT) is one of that which represents a critical mechanism for detoxification...

متن کاملMetallothionein gene expression in brown adipose tissue.
Reduced environmental temperature triggers a range of behavioml and physiological responses to maintain body temperature. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a major site of thennoregulatory heat production [ 11, and during cold exposure thennogenesis in the tissue is rapidly stimulated, through the release of noradrenaline by the sympathetic nervous system. There is a substantially increased require...
متن کاملrole of cultural iran in promotion of multilaieralism in central asia and caucasus
cultural iran is a scope that is more extended than the political territories of iran as a political unit. this concept means that cultural geography(mehdi moghanlo-1383-1) of iran is greater than its political geography which, according to history, has a long history extending west-east from kandahar to the euphrates and north-south from the persian gulf to the caucasus including transoxiana a...
