Purpose: Estrogen as a crucial hormone during pregnancy acts by two types of receptors.   Estrogen receptor alpha, expressed by estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene, is more abundant and   exists in all human reproductive systems. Association of ESR1 gene polymorphism has been   shown in some reproductive fields such as spontaneous abortion, endometriosis-related infertility   and in vitro fertili...

Background: This is a case-control study to determine the relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene -786T/C polymorphism in women with unexplaiend recurrent abortion in comparison with healty women.Materials and Methods: 95 women with history of at least 2 unexplaiend recurrent abortion in the reproductive age range 20-35 years as patients group and 95 healty women (age...

Callipyge (CLPG) is a candidate gene with significant effect on meat quality and growth in sheep. The aim of this study was to investigate the polymorphism CLPG Akkaraman breed. In study, DNAs obtained from blood samples 50 sheep used as material. CLPG/Faq1 examined all individuals using method PCR-RFLP. Only A allele AA genotype were detected after PCR-RFLP procedure. This first which investig...

background: henoch-schönlein purpura (hsp) is an lga mediated small vessel systemic vasculitis disease in children. the etiology and pathogenesis of hsp disease remain unknown. however, environmental and genetic risk factors could play important roles in susceptibility to hsp disease. in this study we investigated the association of 5՛-untranslated region polymorphism (-634g/c) of vegf gene wit...

Vitamin D system is a complex pathway that includes precursors, active metabolites, enzymes, and receptors. This complex system actives several molecular pathways and mediates a multitude of functions. In addition to the classical role in calcium and bone homeostasis, vitamin D plays "non-calcemic" effects in host defense, inflammation, immunity, and cancer processes as recognized in vitro and ...

UNLABELLED Bone disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) has become a topic of widespread interest and impact in the CF community. Recently, some biochemical markers have been proposed to provide information about the dynamics of bone turnover. Only limited information is available for young patients. Imbalance between bone formation and degradation in CF especially in puberty has become an important is...

Vitamin D deficiency is a common issue, particularly in obese populations, and is tested by assessing serum 25(OH)D concentrations. This study aimed to identify factors that contribute to the vitamin D status in fifty morbidly obese individuals recruited prior to bariatric surgery. Data collected included serum 25(OH)D concentrations, dietary and supplement intake of vitamin D, sun exposure mea...
