Chylomicron-remnant clearance in homozygote and heterozygote
Lymph chylomicrons radiolabelled in triacylglycerol and cholesteryl ester were injected into control and Watanabe heritable-hyperlipidaemic (WHHL) rabbits. Clearance of chylomicrons was slower in heterozygote and homozygote WHHL rabbits. Slower remnant clearance in WHHL rabbits was confirmed by monitoring the clearance from plasma of preformed chylomicron remnants. Use of chylomicron-like lipid...
متن کاملPolymorphism analysis of malaria susceptibility biomarkers in G6PD deficiency patients
Abstract Background: Several studies suggested that some traits and polymorphisms in human genome such as G6PD deficiency and other genes have protective effects on susceptibility to malaria infection . Methods: In present study we investigated the prevalence of TNF [1] -244GgA, TNF [1] - 308 GgA,TNF [1] -238GgA, NOS2-954GgC, MBL54GgA, MBL 57GgA, MBL IVSI - 5 GgA polymorphisms and G6P...
متن کاملCharacterisation of the opposing effects of G6PD deficiency on cerebral malaria and severe malarial anaemia
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is believed to confer protection against Plasmodium falciparum malaria, but the precise nature of the protective effecthas proved difficult to define as G6PD deficiency has multiple allelic variants with different effects in males and females, and it has heterogeneous effects on the clinical outcome of P. falciparum infection. Here we report a...
متن کاملHeterozygote Advantage for Fecundity
Heterozygote advantage, or overdominance, remains a popular and persuasive explanation for the maintenance of genetic variation in natural populations in the face of selection. However, despite being first proposed more than 80 years ago, there remain few examples that fit the criteria for heterozygote advantage, all of which are associated with disease resistance and are maintained only in the...
متن کاملa comparative study of the relationship between self-, peer-, and teacher-assessments in productive skills
تمایل به ارزیابی جایگزین و تعویض آن با آزمون سنتی مداد و کاغذ در سالهای اخیر افزایش یافته است. اکثر زبان آموزان در کلاس های زبان از نمره نهایی که استاد تعیین میکند ناراضی اند. این تحقیق جهت بررسی ارزیابی در کلاس های زبان انگلیسی به هدف رضایتمندی زبان آموزان از نمره هایشان انجام گرفته است که در آن نمرات ارائه شده توسط سه گروه ارزیاب (ارزیابی خود دانشجو، همسالان واستاد) در مهارت های تولید (تکل...
