a sweet water-soluble protein that reminds stable over wide ranges of temperature and ph, brazzein has various applications. its tastes like cane sugar but have no calories. however, the extraction of brazzein from its natural source is expensive and not applicable. in this study we used recombinant dna technology to provide an alternative option for cheaper mass production of brazzein. a brazz...

Introduction: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been suggested to play an important role in the myocardial damage induced by ischemia – reperfusion. One element believed to be activated by ROS and to contribute to the reduction of ROS production, is the uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2). The objective of this investigation was to explore the effect of myocardial ischemia reperfusion on cardiac UC...

we present the first reported case of antiphospholipid syndrome with stroke in an iranian boy (7-month-old) who had two ischemic strokes within a period of 2 months. serum anticardiolipid antibody was positive and the patient had low levels of protein s and c. this case emphasizes the importance of antiphospholipid antibody in children with unexplained ischemic stroke.

animal agricultural production systems are major sources of nonpoint pollution affecting quality of water sources. nitrogen has been identified as the foremost source of nonpoint water pollution  and the potential negative impacts of n have become an area of public concern. protein degradation from feed ingredients is an important factorinfluencing aa supply to the duodenum. ruminal proteolysis...

Whole soybeans serve as one of the main sources of protein in ruminant nutrition. Different processing methods have been employed for ruminal protein protection. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of microwave irradiation [900 W; 2, 4 and 6 min] on quality, ruminal degradability and estimated in vitro intestinal digestibility of availability soybean crude protein....
