BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to explore the mechanisms underlying the association of birth weight with later body mass index (BMI) from the biochemical markers related to metabolism and the Apa I polymorphism in IGF-II gene. METHODS A total of 300 children were selected randomly from the Macrosomia Birth Cohort in Wuxi, China. The height and weight were measured and blood samples were ...

Aim: To determine the potential hematological predictors and biochemical markers for assessing severity in patients presenting with dengue Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at Jinnah Medical College/ District Specialist Naseerullah Babar Memorial Hospital, Peshawar duration from March, 2022 to August, on 150 Dengue NS1 (ICT) positive patients. Hematological were assessed among sever...

Two RAPD primers and 15 protein biochemical markers were examined to assess the zygosity (hetero/homozygocity) and per cent polymorphisms in monogamous (IM: IF) and triogamous (1M:2F) breeding groups of outbred Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). No polymorphism and heterozygosity were found in RAPD as well as biochemical markers in monogamous groups, whereas both primers in RAPD (%P=55%...

Preamble The National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry’s (NACB) Laboratory Medicine Practice Guidelines (LMPG) for use of cardiac markers in coronary artery diseases were published in July 19991. Since production of this initial document, numerous published studies and presented data have added significantly to the knowledge base for biochemical markers of cardiac injury. This increased knowled...

Genetic diversity among plants sprouted from seven year old clones of mulberry (Morus indica var. S36) was studied using molecular markers such as ISSR and RAPD. The clones showed significant variability in sex expression and the sprouting behavior. These changes were appeared after seven years of rigorous pruning and training (pruned once in every 3-4months). Genetic diversity analysis reveale...

background : type 1 diabetes mellitus (t1dm) is an autoimmune disease characterized by selective destruction of pancreatic beta cells.   methods: the study included 80 children, 20 of them have t1dm, 40 children were selected from first degree relatives to the same child and 20 healthy children serve as control. body mass index (bmi) was calculated, random blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglo...

background: metal ions effect on homeostasis of alzheimer’s disease (ad) patients. the aim of this study was to assess the metal ions (iron, zinc and copper) and cbc in patients with ad in comparison with normal range. methods: the samples of study were 17 patients with ad in tehran’s aging centers in 2015, selected as an access sample. blood samples were analyzed in a pathobiology laboratory. ...
