متن کاملAn Evolutionary Relationship Between Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase (SCD) Protein Sequences Involved in Fatty Acid Metabolism
Background: Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is a key enzyme that converts saturated fatty acids (SFAs) to monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) in fat biosynthesis. Despite being crucial for interpreting SCDs’ roles across species, the evolutionary relationship of SCD proteins across species has yet to be elucidated. This study aims to present this evolutionary relationship based on amino aci...
متن کاملA Review of the Historical Evolutionary Process of Dry and Water Maze Tests in Rodents
This research provides an overview of the historical advances of the maze tests that are widely used to assess the cognitive impairments in rodents.
