Genetic factors influencing cytarabine therapy

Genetic factors influencing alcohol dependence.

Plentiful data from both animal and human studies support the importance of genetic influences in substance abuse and dependence (Bierut et al., 1998; Tsuang et al., 1998; Kendler et al., 2003). This review summarizes the evidence supporting such genetic influences, places them into perspective regarding animal and human studies, discusses the importance of both genes and environment, and highl...

Genetic Factors Influencing BCG Vaccine Properties

Genetic factors influencing human serum trehalase activity.

Trehalase (EC Number 3.2.1.28; trehalose 1-glucohydrolase) is an enzyme which splits the disaccharide trehalose (1-a-D-glucopyranosyl-a-Dglucopyranoside) to glucose; and it is widely distributed in both plants and animals. It was first discovered by Bourquelot (1893) in Aspergillus niger and since then has been found in bacteria, fungi, yeast, the serum of certain fishes, and in insects (Kalf a...

Non-genetic factors influencing sow longevity

The way that sows are housed during gestation and lactation has moved towards more intensive systems so that sows can be more easily managed and production maximized. At a minimum, some of these factors have contributed to a decline in the productive life of sows in commercial pork production systems. A sow remaining in the breeding herd for fewer parities is likely to produce fewer pigs in her...
