background: asthma is the main reason of disability, health resource exploitation and low quality of life for those who are affected. it is estimated that nearly 300 million people in the world are suffering from asthma. studies have identified 18 genomic regions and more than 100 genes associated with asthma. among these candidate genes, il-17f plays a very interesting role in asthma. this stu...

The effects of sodium n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) on the structure of histone HI has been studied by a combination of e:quilibrium dialysis, U.V. spectroscopy ; polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, protein titration and viscometery techniques using, 2.5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 6.4. The interaction of H, and SDS in contrast tomanyothel-protein-SDS interactions is organized between V 40 to 70. A...

Background and Aims: Cardiac hypertrophy is a compensatory augmentation response of the heart due to pressure overload that can lead to heart failure. Carvacrol is considered as the major compound of many plants, that possesses strong antioxidant properties. The present study aimed to evaluate effect of carvacrol on catalase activity and mRNA expression following left ventricular hypertrop...

background and objectives: urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common infections in human, and uropathogenic escherichia coli (upec) strains are the most common cause of uti. these strains colonize in bladder and cause cystitis, which could cause pyelonephritis by movement to the kidneys. since fimh protein has a very important role in colonization of upec strains and causing infec...

two experiments were conducted to evaluate the crude protein fractionation, in vitro gas production and the biological effects of tannins in alfalfa silage treated with different levels of pistachio by-products (pb) extract. pb was soaked in water with a ratio of 1:5 (w/v) for 12 h. after filtering and concentrating, the crude extract was added to fresh alfalfa to a final concentration of 1%, 2...

To discriminate between self and non-self surfaces facilitate immune surveillance, the complement system relies on interplay surface-directed activators regulators. The dimeric modulator FHR-1 is hypothesized to competitively remove regulator FH from that strongly fix opsonic C3b molecules—a process known as “deregulation.” C-terminal regions of provide basis this competition. They contain bind...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of treated protein supplements with tannin extracted from pistachio by-product (p-pb) on in vitro gas production using fistulated sheep. one portion of p-pb was mixed with four portions of water for 48 h. the extracted product was sprayed on soybean meal (sbm) or canola meal (cm) with an equal ratio (1:1 v/w) and dried in the shade. the expe...
