homeobox (hox) genes are contributed in the genetic control of development of the body plan, pattern formation, and cell fate determination and the other several key developmental processes. hox genes are also known as selector genes because expression within a given section of the embryo will cause its cells to choose a particular developmental path. hox genes encode transcription factors that...

A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of melatonin supplementation on heat shock proteins (HSPs) (HSP 60, HSP70, HSP 90 and 110) expression profile in buffalo calves under summer stress. Twelve healthy Murrah male 6 month 1 year age group were taken for study. Buffalo divided into control (CG) treatment (TG) group. In TG, Melatonin (18mg/50 kg BW) injected subcutaneously, two times a...
