Drainage rearrangements, either headwater captures or coastal paleodrainages formed when sea level was low, are often invoked to explain connectivity and isolation among fish populations. Unravelling these events is crucial for understanding the evolutionary processes that have shaped genetic diversity differentiation in freshwater fishes, which especially relevant regions with high endemism sp...

CONTEXT Pycnogenol(®) extracted from French maritime pine bark (Pinus pinaster Ait. subsp. atlantica) is functional for its antioxidant activity. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Pycnogenol(®) on bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular microarchitecture and bone metabolism in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 3 groups: SHA...

objective(s): abc transporters comprise a large family of transmembrane proteins that use the energy provided by atp hydrolysis to translocate a variety of substrates across biological membranes. all members of the human abcg subfamily, except for abcg2, are cholesterol-transporter. the aim of this study was to determine the liver, the small intestine and kidney abcg5 relative gene expression i...

As a part of ongoing efforts for monitoring benthic ecosystem in the Gulf Mexico, Harpacticoid copepods were collected from southwestern Mexico. Among them we report three new species Zosime, and Peresime study area. Zosime is most specious-rich genus family. Three morphologically similar to Z. paratypica Becker Schriever, 1979, atlantica Bodin, 1968, destituta Kim J.G., Jung Yoon, 2016, respec...

Background and Purpose: Pistacia atlantica, which belongs to the Anacardiaceae family, grows in the Zagrossian region of Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal properties of Pistacia atlantica and olive leaf extracts against different fungal species. Materials and Methods: In this study, we assessed the activities of olive leaf extracts and Pistacia atlantica leaf and fruit...

Pistachio genetic variety includes a wide range of female variations and male genotypes, Iran is regarded as one the critical sites for this diversity in world. The genus Pistacia consists eleven species that only have edible nuts are commercially important. Four important pistachios include vera, P. khinjuk Stocks, eurycarpa Yalt. (P. atlantica subsp. Kurdica Zoh.), Dsef found Iran. Genetic as...

The title compound, C16H24Br2O, was synthesized by three steps from β-himachalene (3,5,5,9-tetra-methyl-2,4a,5,6,7,8-hexa-hydro-1H-benzo-cyclo-heptene), which was isolated from essential oil of the Atlas cedar cedrus atlantica. The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol-ecules with almost identical conformations. Each mol-ecule is built up from two fused six-membered rings, one having a c...

The title compound, C16H28O, was synthesized by three steps from β-himachalene (3,5,5,9-tetra-methyl-2,4a,5,6,7,8-hexa-hydro-1H-benzo-cyclo-heptene), which was isolated from the essential oil of the Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica). The mol-ecule is built up from fused six- and seven-membered rings and an appended three-membered ring. The six-membered ring has twist-boat conformation, whereas the...
