Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial genetic condition caused by the combination of genes and environmental factors. Several variations linked to T2DM have been discovered in recent investigations, particularly genome-wide association studies (GWAS). This study aimed investigate involved T2DM, focusing on NGS analysis studying basis improve diagnosis, prevention, treat...

هدف: از چالش­های عمده بشریت افزایش افسردگی و اختلال عملکرد جنسی ناشی داروهای ضدافسردگی است. با توجه به نقش سلول­های سرتولی در اسپرماتوژنز، پژوهش حاضر، اثر داروی دولوکستین را بر زنده­مانی، آپوپتوزیس بیان ژن­های Bax و­ (Connexin 43) Cx43 بررسی کرده مواد روش‌‌ها: TM4 محیط DMEM/F12 حاوی %5/2 FBS، 5% سرم اسب %1 پنی سیلین-استرپتومایسین کشت شدند. دوزهای 30،60، 15، 5/7، 75/3 میکرو­گرم/ میلی­لیتر زمان­ه...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION Previous studies have suggested a possible relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus susceptibility loci and diabetic complications. The present study aimed to investigate the associations between type 2 diabetes mellitus loci with peripheral nerve function in a Chinese population with type 2 diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1,900 type 2 diabetes melli...

OBJECTIVE In the pancreatic beta-cell, ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels couple metabolism with excitability and consist of Kir6.2 and SUR1 subunits encoded by KCNJ11 and ABCC8, respectively. Sulfonylureas, which inhibit the K(ATP) channel, are used to treat type 2 diabetes. Rare activating mutations cause neonatal diabetes, whereas the common variants, E23K in KCNJ11 and S1369A in ABCC8, ar...

The ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel controls blood glucose levels by coupling metabolism to insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. E23K, a common polymorphism the pore-forming KATP subunit (KCNJ11) gene, has been linked increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Understanding risk-allele-specific pathogenesis potential improve personalized diabetes treatment, but underlying mechanism remained elusive...

SUMMARY We present a pipeline named BIR (Blast, Identify and Realign) developed for phylogenomic analyses. BIR is intended for the identification of gene sequences applicable for phylogenomic inference. The pipeline allows users to apply their own manually curated sequence alignments (seed) in search for homologous genes in sequence databases and available genomes. BIR automatically adds the id...
