Given the high value of biochemical composition soybean seeds and versatility using this crop, need for it will continue to grow, which makes necessary improve existing develop new technologies its cultivation, considering local agroclimatic resources. Therefore, study, aiming investigate agroecological foundations use chemical biological techniques in modern growing soybeans, is relevant. The ...

objective: cyclosporine (cs), a cyclic undecapeptide with potent immunosuppressive activity, causes several adverse effects including reproductive toxicity. this study aims to examine the ability of crataegus monogyna aqueous fruit extract as an antioxidant to protect against cs-induced reproductive toxicity. materials and methods: in this experimental study, 32 adult male wistar rats were divi...

The prophage of coliphage N15 is not integrated into the chromosome but exists as a linear plasmid molecule with covalently closed hairpin ends (telomeres). Upon infection the injected phage DNA circularizes via its cohesive ends. Then, a phage-encoded enzyme, protelomerase, cuts the circle and forms the hairpin telomeres. N15 protelomerase acts as a telomere-resolving enzyme during prophage DN...

The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that acute high-intensity interval (HIT) running induces greater activation of signaling pathways associated with mitochondrial biogenesis compared with moderate-intensity continuous (CONT) running matched for work done. In a repeated-measures design, 10 active men performed two running protocols consisting of HIT [6 × 3-min at 90% maximal...

Metabolic rate (M), tissue conductance (k), rectal (Trs ) and mean skin temperature (Ts ) were measured in normal (CONT) and cold acclimated (CA) rabbits after steady state for a given ambient temperature (Ta ) from 5 to 35°C. Below Ta=15°C, T rs of CONT decreased considerably, while T rs of CA was maintained within a normal range. The rate of change in Ts for each degree change in Ta (below Ta...

The present study investigated the effects of co-administration of aspirin, metformin, atorvastatin and captopril on serum lipid profile and oxidative stress in the heart and kidney of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. In this study, rats were randomly divided into the following eleven groups: control (Cont.), and diabetic (D), as well as 9 groups that were treated with metformin (M, 300 mg...

INTRODUCTION Auditory conditioning consists of the pre-exposure to low levels of a potential harmful agent to protect against a subsequent harmful exposure. OBJECTIVE To confirm if conditioning with an agent different from that used to cause the trauma can also be effective. METHODS This was an experimental study with 17 guinea pigs, divided into three groups: an ototoxic control group (Con...

introduction: walnut leaf contains large amounts of antioxidants, phenolic compounds and flavonoids and the beneficial effect of these compounds in the treatment of diabetes has been shown. this study investigated the effect of cyclohexane and ethanol extract of walnut leaf on activity of sorbitol dehydrogenase (sdh) enzyme. methods: fifty- six adult male sprague-dawley rats were divided into s...
