[ 1 ] - Histomorphometric changes of small intestine in pregnant rat
Food intake of rats increases during pregnancy. This requires changes in the structure of the small intestine to absorb additional food. The aim of the present study was to investigate the morphological changes in the layers of small intestine in rats during pregnancy. Duodenum, jejunum and ileum of 18 pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats (day 7, 14 and 21 of pregnancy) were collected. Villous height a...
[ 2 ] - روش نوین تعیین زودهنگام آبستنی موش صحرایی
مقدمه و هدف: تایید زودهنگام آبستنی و تعیین زمان دقیق آن در موش صحرایی در پژوهش بر روی موش صحرایی آبستن کاربرد زیادی دارد. تاکنون روش های مختلف غیرتهاجمی مانند مشاهده پلاک واژنی (روز 1 بعد از جفتگیری؛ دقت 25%)، سونوگرافی (روز 8 بعد از جفتگیری؛ دقت 22%)، مشاهده بزرگ شدن شکم و ملامسه جنین (روز 16 بعد از جفتگیری، دقت تقریبا 100%) و یا همزمان سازی با کمک هورمون ها ارائه شده است. هدف پژوهش کنو...
[ 3 ] - Expression of Melanocortin 4 Receptor mRNA in Male Rat Hypothalamus During Chronic Stress
The effects of chronic stress and glucocorticoids receptor antagonist (RU486) on expression of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) mRNA in arcuate nucleus (ARC) of male rats were evaluated. In this study, adult male Sprague Dawley rats were placed into four groups (n=6/group) stress, RU486, stress/RU486, and control groups. In stress group, the rats were restrained, 1 h/day, for 12 days. In RU486 gr...
[ 4 ] - Long term malnutrition and mRNAs expression of RFRP-3 and KiSS-1 in hypothalamus of female ovariectomized rats
Introduction: Arginine-phenylalanine-amide-related peptide-3 (RFRP-3) is an inhibitor of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion and an appetizer. Kisspeptin is a stimulator of GnRH and a regulator of energy metabolism. The objectives of the present study were to compare the effect of long term malnutrition on expression of RFRP-3 mRNA in dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMH) and Ki...
[ 5 ] - Lactation effect on the mRNAs expression of RFRP-3 and KiSS-1 in dorsomedial and arcuate nuclei of the rat hypothalamus
Introduction: Arginine-phenylalanine-amide-related peptide-3 (RFRP-3) and kisspeptin are believed to be inhibitor and stimulator of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion, respectively. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of lactation on the expression of RFRP-3 mRNA in dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMH) and KiSS-1 mRNA in arcuate nucleus (ARC) of hypothalamus...
[ 6 ] - Cloning and Expression of Mannheimia haemolytica PlpE Gene in Escherichia coli and its Immunogenicity Assessment
Mannheimia haemolytica is responsible for considerable economic losses to cattle, sheep, and goat industries in many parts of the world. This bacterium isone of the causative agents of shipping fever in cattle. Current vaccines against M. haemolytica are moderately efficacious since they do not provide complete protection against the disease. Production of a...
[ 7 ] - The effect of human wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells on MC4R, NPY, and LEPR gene expression levels in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes
Objective(s): Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease resulting from inflammatory destruction of islets β-cells. Nowadays, progress in cell therapy, especially mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) proposes numerous potential remedies for T1D. We aimed to investigate the combination therapeutic effect of these cells with insulin and metformin on neuropeptide Y, melanoco...
[ 8 ] - Decreased Expression of Arginine-Phenylalanine-Amide-Related Peptide-3 Gene in Dorsomedial Hypothalamic Nucleus of Constant Light Exposure Model of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Objective An abnormality in pulse amplitude and frequency of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion is the most characteristics of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). On the other hand, arginine-phenylalanine-amide (RFamide)-related peptide-3 (RFRP3) inhibits the secretion of GnRH in mammalian hypothalamus. Therefore, the current study evaluated the expression of RFRP3 mRNA in dorsomed...
