Background: Most studies show that 9 to 24% of people who are in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles are women who respond poorly to ovarian stimulation. Women with poor ovarian response (POR) are a group of infertile patients whose ovarian reserve, ovarian response to medication, and the quality of ovum are declining. Therefore, the number of female cycles, the number of fetuses from the oocyt...

results the pellet of the 146s antigen of fmd virus serotype a was developed at a concentration of sucrose 50%. absorbance rate of the foot-and-mouth disease virus serotypes a at wavelengths of 240, 259 and 280 nm was 1.238, 1.573 and 1.157, respectively. moreover, the amount of 146s antigen at the same wavelengths was 163.416, 207.636 and 152.724 μg/ml, respectively. the amount of purified pro...

Background: Connexon is a membrane structural protein in the gap junctions. These cellular connections are responsible for transporting ions and messenger molecules to the oocyte. This study aimed to investigate the role of beta-2-adrenoceptors in the process of follicle growth based on the expression of the two connexins 37/43 in the gap junctions that have a primary role in the mitotic resump...

introduction: hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection is a major public health problem which influences about 170 million people worldwide. different types of vaccines have been designed using hcv structural proteins to control the viral infection. the core nucleocapsid protein is one of the most conserved proteins and a desirable target for hcv vaccines, especially the protein-based vaccines. in cur...

one of the leading causes of death in the world are cardiovascular diseases, among which coronary artery disease (cad) is the most common one. it occurs as a result of narrowing of the arteries which supply blood to the heart due to a theroma plaque formation. this kind of heart disease can be considered as a multifactorial one as genetic and environmental factors are involved in its incidence....

Biofabrication of metallic nanoparticles have attracted the researchers of various disciplines for the past few decades, due to their wide range of applications in the various fields of electronics, textiles industries, nano medicine, biopharmacy and biotechnology. Keeping in view the above important applications, we have successfully biosynthesized the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using leaf e...

The Cerrado is the second largest biome in the country by area, located mainly in the central highlands of Brazil. Few details about the effect of managements in Cerrado soils that characterize the specific function of this soil biota in sustainable development of their fertility. Even with the lack of information on species of soil fungi in the Cerrado, there are few studies aimed to contribut...
