In rodents, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has emerged as a key metabolic regulator produced by liver. To gather preliminary data on the potential importance of FGF1, co-regulated genes, and upstream metabolic genes, we examined the hepatic mRNA expression in response to nutrition and inflammation in dairy cows. In experiment 1, induction of ketosis through feed restriction on d 5 postpart...

Recent investigations of the plant genome have revealed a large degree of similarity among cereal crops (specifically within the family Triticeae) and other related grass species. Recognition of the close genetic relationship among the grasses indicates that more exotic species, such as weedy grasses, may be exploited by plant breeders to enhance biotic/abiotic stress tolerance in cereal crops....

BACKGROUND Benzodiazepines, such as lorazepam and midazolam, are frequently administered to surgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients for postoperative sedation. To date, the pharmacology of lorazepam in critically ill patients has not been described. The aim of the current study was to characterize and compare the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of lorazepam and midazolam administered ...

Vitamin C and taurine (TR) are well known as active components for fatigue recovery. However, the mechanism of anti-fatigue effects vitamin TR is still unclear. Our study was designed to evaluate activities in an animal test compare between TR. Materials Methods: C, or their combination were orally administrated mice once daily 15 days, then metabolic such blood glucose, triglyceride (TG), lact...

objective(s) the effect of berberis vulgaris aqueous extract in hepatocarcinogenic rats was studied to investigate the apoptotic and sodium, potassium elements properties. a loss of both intracellular potassium and sodiumoccurs when apoptotic cells shrink and prior to the loss of membraneintegrity. materials and methods forty-eight sprague dawley rats were randomly divided into 2 groups, normal...

Tailings are one of the largest solid wastes in stock at present. In order to improve comprehensive utilization rate tailings, especially solve problems fine-grained tailings treatment, concrete composite admixture was prepared by using iron powder and slag powder. study influence on workability long-term mechanical properties concrete, C30 C50 with different dosages were prepared, slump, expan...
