the gross and microscopic anatomy of the molar salivary gland of the domestic cat was studied. in this research, five pair of molar glandsfrom five male adult cats were used. in cat, the molar gland was elongated rectangle shape and was located obliquely in the submucosal fossa of the inferior lip, near the oral commissure. the dorsal border of the molar gland was attached to the masseter muscl...

the importance of cats in the leptospira epidemiology is due to the possibility of transferring leptospirosis to wild and domesticated animals. the purpose of this survey was to determine the prevalence of leptospira infection in shorthair cats in different location of mashhad, iran. totally, 147 blood samples were taken from 42 (28.57%), 52 (35.37%) and 53 (36.05%) households, stray and cats w...

objective: a secondary ectopic pregnancy is defined as continuing development of a fetus in the abdominal cavity after rupture of the uterine wall, which may be associated with a history of trauma. methods: a cat was referred to the veterinary teaching hospital of the university of tehran with history of anorexia and vaginal bleeding. in clinical examination some masses werepalpated in abdomina...

We investigated the effect the loss of the CAT-2 gene (CAT-2-/-) has on lung resistance (R(L)) and tracheal isometric tension. The R(L) of CAT-2-/- mice at a maximal dose of acetylcholine (ACh) was decreased by 33.66% (P = 0.05, n = 8) compared with that of C57BL/6 (B6) mice. The isometric tension of tracheal rings from CAT-2-/- mice showed a significant decrease in carbachol (CCh)-induced forc...

زمینه و هدف: مجموعة پروتئینی mTOR در پاسخ به تمرینات مقاومتی با رویکردی هیستولوژیکی افزایش هوازی سوخت‌وسازی کاهش می‌یابد. این تغییرات شرایط ابتلا دیابت نوع دو همراه ورزشی می‌تواند قابل بحث باشد. بدین‌منظور لحاظ کردن تمریناتی مانند تمرین تناوبی شدید دارا بودن ویژگی‌های بی‌هوازی از طرفی مداخلة تعامل احتمالی شاخص‌های گلایسمیک هیستوپاتولوژیکی قلب را تصویر بکشد. ازاین‌رو پژوهش حاضر برای تعیین تأثیر ...

Monoclonal antibody Cat-315 recognizes a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) expressed on the surface of subsets of neurons in many areas of the mammalian CNS (). The cell type-specific expression exhibited by the Cat-315 CSPG and other perineuronal net CSPGs imparts a distinct molecular surface identity to a neuron (Celio and Blumcke, 1994; Lander et al., 1997). The cell type(s) producing ...

Sensitivity to cats and exposure to cat allergen is a common cause of asthma exacerbation in children. To date, there is no data on the prevalence of cat sensitivity in children living in North Italy. Therefore, a 7-yr survey was performed in patients attending an allergy clinic for the first time. Skin prick tests (SPT) for perennial allergens and for pollens relevant to the region were perfor...

BACKGROUND Clothing has been proposed as an additional source of exposure to mite and cat allergens. Dispersal of allergen into public places has also been attributed to clothing. OBJECTIVES We sought to study the contribution of various types of clothing on mite and cat exposure in a domestic environment. Also, we studied the ability of clothing to transfer allergen in a workplace. METHODS...

supplementation has beneficial effects in immune system and can antioxidant enzymes activity increases during the exercise and protects the tissue against the oxidative stress. l-carnitine is a famous supplement and helps to protect against the oxidative stress during and after intense or prolonged exercise. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of l-carnitine supplementation on t...
