gases such as no and co play important roles both in normal physiology and in disease. in recent years, interest has been directed towards other naturally occurring gases, notably h 2 s, which is produced in body by three enzymes namely cbs (cystathionine beta synthase), cse (cystathionine gamma lyase) and mst (3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase), present in mitochondria and/or cytosols where...

In this study, a macro-economic model consisting of twelve behavioral equations and fourteen identity equations was estimated with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies set out in the fourth and fifth development plans. In the estimated model, the variables of development expenditures, current expenditures and tax revenues are used as fiscal policy tools and...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to be involved in the development of maize plant. However, few focused on seed development of maize. Here, we identified 753 lncRNA candidates in maize genome from six seed samples. Similar to the mRNAs, lncRNAs showed tissue developmental stage specific and differential expression, indicating their putative role in seed development. Increasing ...

The endogenous reactive oxygen species ("ROS") formation is associated with many pathologic states such as inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, brain and heart ischemic injuries, cancer, and aging. The purpose of this study was to investigate the endogenous sources for "ROS" formation in intact isolated rat hepatocytes, in particular, peroxisomal oxidases, monoamine oxidase, xanth...

The changes in plant growth, transpiration rate, photosynthetic activity, plant pigments, electrolyte leakage, H2O2 content, lipid peroxidation, catalase activity and endogenous content of abscisic acid (ABA) were followed in the leaves of two wheat varieties (sakha 93 and 94) during drought stress and subsequent rehydration. Drought stress caused several inhibitory changes in the growth of bot...

objective: micrornas (mirnas) are single-stranded small rnas 18-25 nucleotides in length that regulate gene expression through translational inhibition and mrna cleavage. aberrant expression of mirnas contribute to several diseases. this has increased interest in profiling the expressions of these molecules. real-time quantitative pcr (rq-pcr) is a sensitive, quantitative technique for gene exp...

A PERSON tempted to kill himself may need one, two or all three of the following kinds of help: medical treatment, non-medical counselling, non-professional befriending. In many cases, e.g. endogenous depression, the life cannot be saved without the first of these; yet the most important of these is the last. If two kinds of help are needed, befriending is one of them. If only one kind of help ...

Naloxone abolished the rise in body temperature seen after bicycle ergometer tests performed by 10 healthy men. This suggests that endogenous opiates play a part in thermal regulation during muscular exercise.
