The objective of this study was to investigate intestinal nutrient transporter and enzyme mRNA in broilers selected on corn- and soybean-based (line A) or wheat-based (line B) diets. We investigated the peptide transporter PepT1, 10 amino acid transporters (rBAT, b(o,+)AT, ATB(o,+), CAT1, CAT2, LAT1, y(+)LAT1, y(+)LAT2, B(o)AT, and EAAT3), 4 sugar transporters (SGLT1, SGLT5, GLUT5, and GLUT2), ...

وراثت مقاومت سفیدبالک گلخانه، Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)، به دو ترکیب ایمیداکلوپرید و کلرپایریفوس مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. در این پژوهش، از جمعیت فیلستان ورامین (FL) عنوان والد مقاوم فردیس کرج (FR) حساس استفاده شد. مقدار ترتیب حدودا 62/13 91/14 برابر بود. عدم وجود اختلاف معنی‌دار LC50 روی تلاقی‌های F1 (R♂×S♀) Fʹ1 (R♀×S♂) نشان داد که T. نوع اتوزومی (غیرجنسی) است. ه...

The yolk sac membrane plays a major role in the transport of nutrients from the yolk contents to the chick embryo. We examined whether the yolk sac membrane expresses genes for nutrient digestion, enzymes, and nutrient transporters. We evaluated relative mRNA abundance of the digestive enzymes aminopeptidase N (APN) and sucrase-isomaltase (SI); the nutrient transporters oligopeptide transporter...

L-arginine transport is crucial for macrophage activation because it supplies substrate for the key enzymes nitric oxide synthase 2 and arginase I. These enzymes participate in classic and alternative activation of macrophages, respectively. Classic activation of macrophages is induced by type I cytokines, and alternative activation is induced by type II cytokines. The granulocyte macrophage co...

BACKGROUND Acute infectious diarrhea is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to characterize antimicrobial resistant diarrheagenic Escherichia coli strains isolated from diarrheic children in Tehran, IR Iran. PATIENTS AND METHODS In total, 550 stool samples from diarrheic pediatric patients, aged less than 60 month...

Karrikins are active components of smoke that can promote seed germination and regulate seedling morphogenesis. However, the role karrikins as alleviators abiotic stress remains largely elusive. In this study, we examined whether exogenous application karrikin1 (KAR1) might improve drought tolerance in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera cv. PennA4), investigated underlying mechanism. We f...
