Abstract. Naibaho D, Purba E, Hanafiah DS, Hasibuan S. 2023. Improvement of morphology, biochemical characters, and molecular changes local upland rice cv. Sidikalang M3 generation through induction gamma-ray irradiation. Biodiversitas 24: 200-207. Upland cultivar is one the red cultivars North Sumatra, which has potential to be developed. However, this limited planting area due factors such as...

This study investigated the association between both polymorphisms and metabolic marker changes of leptin gene, body weight, weight gain, carcass traits, feed intake, conversion ratio. Blood samples were collected from 60 V-line Baladi Black rabbits for DNA extraction biochemical analysis. sequencing (202-bp) revealed four non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) that characterized ...

Aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) -344C/T polymorphism has been reported to be associated with serum aldosterone level, urinary aldosterone excretion, blood pressure, and left ventricular size and mass. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between CYP11B2 polymorphism and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the Korean population and the association with CYP11B2 polymorphism and ca...

Asthma is a complex inflammatory disease involving the critical actions of several important cytokines. Epidemiological data show that obesity could increase the risk of asthma, and insulin resistance, or metabolic syndrome are an important risk factor for obesity asthma. Some studies identified that upstream of the transcription start site within the TNF-α gene promoter region-308 polymorphism...

26 27 Objective: The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma is a 28 transcription factor involved in glucose homeostasis and energy metabolism. 29 A missense mutation at codon 12 in the PPARgamma2 has been associated 30 with increased body mass index and attenuated Insulin Resistance (IR) in 31 PCOS. We have recently shown a decreased Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR) in 32 PCOS. The a...

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between E-selectin +G98T, +A561C polymorphisms and different progression in Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection Xinjiang Han population, also to determine the HBV DNA copies and pre-S1 antigen (preS1Ag) in this population. Polymorphisms of the E-selectin gene in 200 chronic HBV infection (61 cases of chronic HBV carriers, chronic hepatiti...
