The present research was undertaken to determine the role of seminal plasma in heat stress (HS) infertility. Males were exposed to HS at 32 C or maintained at 21 C as controls. Centrifugation and reconstitution of semen samples created four final treatments: control sperm + control plasma (CsCp), control sperm + HS plasma (CsHp), HS sperm + HS plasma (HsHp), and HS sperm + control plasma (HsCp)...

As shellfish preservation is still nowadays a challenge for the food industry, in this paper, effectiveness of hyperbaric storage preserving Atlantic razor clams (Ensis directus) was evaluated both at low (HS-LT) and room temperature (HS-RT). The study carried out two phases. In first phase, were stored different pressure levels, 5 °C 20 °C, 7 days to identify most efficient temperatures. Then,...

Susceptibility to metabolism is a common issue with the tert-butyl group on compounds of medicinal interest. We demonstrate an approach of removing all the fully sp(3) C-Hs from a tert-butyl group: replacing some C-Hs with C-Fs and increasing the s-character of the remaining C-Hs. This approach gave a trifluoromethylcyclopropyl group, which increased metabolic stability. Trifluoromethylcyclopro...

زمینه و هدف: افزایش عوامل التهابی متعاقب چاقی از دلایل اصلی مرگ‌ومیر است. اگرچه نقش تمرینات ورزشی، محدودیت کالریک مکمل‌های ضداکسایشی در این گزارش شده است، اثر همزمان هر سه مداخله مورد توجه پژوهشگران زیادی ازاین‌رو هدف پژوهش حاضر بررسی هشت هفته تمرین تناوبی شدید، کالری مکمل اسپرولینا بر بافت قلب موش‌های صحرایی تحت رژیم غذای پرچرب بود.مواد روش‌ها: 45 سر موش نر چاق‌شده با غذایی (60 درصد چربی، 20 پ...

زمینه و هدف: کاردیومیوپاتی دیابتی یکی از عوامل خطرزای اصلی برای عوارض قلبی- عروقی دیابت است آنجایی که فعالیت بدنی در بیماران می‌تواند ساختار عملکرد میوکارد را تحت تأثیر قرار دهد، لذا هدف پژوهش حاضر بررسی هشت هفته تمرین تناوبی با شدت بالا (HIIT) بر محتوای پروتئین‌های NF-kB Wnt بافت عضله قلبی موش‌های صحرایی نژاد ویستار مبتلا به نوع دو است.مواد روش‌‌ها: مطالعه 20 سر موش نر سن 8-6 میانگین وزن 9/16±...

Natural-killer (NK)-cell function was profoundly depressed in donors homozygous for the Chediak-Steinbrinck-Higashi syndrome (C-HS) gene when compared with age- and sex-matched normals. This apparent defect was not simply a result of a delayed response because little cytolysis was evident in kinetics experiments even after 24 h of incubation. NK cells from C-HS donors failed to lyse adherent (M...

Bu çalışmada, bazı ağır metallerin, yeni bir membran (HS-C@PIM) kullanılarak sulu ortamdan verimli şekilde taşınması tasarlanmıştır. amaçla; metaller için uygun bağlanma yeri olan merkapto-sübstitüe kaliksaren türevi polimer içeren membranda taşıyıcı olarak kullanıldı. HS-C@PIM’in yapısını ve yüzey morfolojisini değerlendirmek taramalı elektron mikroskopisi (SEM), Termogravimetrik analiz (TGA) ...

We investigated the expression of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) in the kidneys of fructose-fed insulin-resistant rats (FFR) with a low- or high-sodium diet. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a control (C) or high-fructose (40% fructose; F) diet, with each coming in low-sodium (0.024% NaCl; LS-C or LS-F) or high-sodium (3% NaCl; HS-C or HS-F) varieties, for 2 weeks. Half of the FFR were orally ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this trial was to determine the levels of inflammatory markers, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and fetuin-A pre- and post-levothyroxine treatment in cases of subclinical hypothyroidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 32 patients with a diagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism and a control group of 30 healthy individuals were tested for high-sensitivity C-reac...
