Effects of dietary aflatoxin on the hepatic expression of apoptosis genes in growing barrows.
The most common and toxic form of aflatoxin, aflatoxin B(1) (AFB(1)), is produced by molds growing on crops. Use of moldy corn can result in high concentrations of AFB(1) in swine diets, which could potentially lead to an increased incidence of aflatoxicosis, a disease associated with decreased health and performance through reduced feed intake, reduced BW gain, and impaired liver function. The...
متن کاملEffects of thiamine on growth, aflatoxin production, and aflr gene expression in A. parasiticus
Background and Purpose: Mycotoxins are secondary fungal metabolites with a very high diversity that are produced by some species of Aspergillus which frequently leads to contaminate food and agricultural products. Recently, elimination of aflatoxin contamination in food and feed has been considered by scientists worldwide. Although, the antibacterial and antifungal effects of vitamins as natura...
متن کاملEffects of alcoholic extract of Alhagi maurorum on the expression level of hepatic Caspase-3 gene in male Wistar rats following the induction of diabetes mellitus
Background: Many diseases, including diabetes, are involve in the development of liver disorders through changes in the expression of genes such as Caspase-3. In the present study, the impact of alcoholic extract of Alhagi maurorum on the expression level of liver Caspase-3 gene was investigated in male Wistar rats following the induction of diabetes mellitus by streptozotocin. Materials and me...
متن کاملEffects of Treatment with Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 and Co-culture on Expression of Piwil2 Gene in Mouse Differentiated Embryonic Stem Cells
Background Specific growth factors and feeder layers seem to have important roles in in vitro embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiation. In this study,the effects of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) co-culture system on germ cell differentiation from mouse ESCs were studied. MaterialsAndMethods Cell suspension was prepared from one-day-old embryoid bo...
متن کاملEffects of a Combination of Dietary Restriction and Exercise Training on Myocardial Apoptosis in Male Rats
Background and Objectives: Apoptosis plays a key role in pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases due to loss of terminally differentiated cardiac myocytes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate effects of combined dietary restriction and aerobic training on indices of myocardial apoptosis in male rats. Materials and Methods: In this study, 32 three-month-old male rats wer...
