Consumption of antioxidant dietary agents, curcumin and vitamin C, protects cellular DNA from gamma-radiation
Background: Exposure to ionizing radiation results in genotoxicity and the unrepaired lesions in cellular DNA results in cell cycle arrest, reproductive death, interphase death, division delay, chromosome aberrations, mutations, etc. leading to the intensive destruction of cells and violation of their proliferative capacity there by adversely affecting the mammalian system. Since ionizing radia...
متن کاملبررسی ارتباط بین پلی مورفیسم ژن کد کننده بخش‌های ایمونوگلوبولینی و موسینی نوع یک سلول T و بیماری رینیت آلرژیک
Background and purpose: Âllergic rhinitis is one symptomatic nasal disorders induced after contact with allergen in atopic individuals. Ït leads to ÏgË-mediated inflammation of the membranes lining the nose. Ïn addition to environmental factors, genetic predispositions play an important part in susceptibility to this disease. The aim of the present study was to determine the association betwe...

Background: Risk factors of non-communicable disease (NCD) origin from early life, and exposure to environmental pollutant may be a predisposing factor. This study aimed to investigate the association of air quality index (AQI) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) with some NCD risk factors in a sample of Iranian children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was con...
متن کاملQuantitation of genome damage and transcriptional profile of DNA damage response genes in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells exposed in vitro to low doses of neutron radiation
Background: Humans are exposed to ionizing radiation from different sources that include natural, occupational, medical, accidental exposures. Evaluation of the effect of low level of neutron exposure to human cells in vitro has important implications to human health. Attempts were made to measure genome damage, transcriptional profile of DNA damage response and repair genes in peripheral blood...
متن کاملA genome-wide scan to detect signatures of recent selection in Australian Merino sheep
Domestication and selection are processes that conserve the pattern of genetic diversities between and within populations. Identification of genomic regions that are targets of selection for phenotypic traits is one of the main aims of research in animal genetics. An approach for identifying divergently selected regions of the genome is to compare FST values among loci to estimate the genetic v...
