view.24 One explanation for the differences obtained with human and bovine materials is that preparations of the different clotting factors are not equally deficient in contaminating substances. The present experiments examine the interaction between activated bovine Stuart factor and bovine proaccelerin under conditions minimizing the influence of contaminating substances. Milstone has purifie...

Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) is a useful method to preserve endangered species and to study the reprogramming event of a nuclear donor cell by the oocyte. Although several studies of iSCNT using murine cells and bovine oocytes have been reported, the development of murine-bovine iSCNT embryos beyond the 8-cell stage has not been successful. In this paper, we examined the d...

Clinical and experimental studies indicate a role for GH in mechanisms related to anhedonia/hedonia, psychic energy, and reward. Recently we showed that transgenic mice with general overexpression of bovine GH display increased spontaneous locomotor activity. In the present study, we investigated whether this behavioral change is owing to a direct action of GH in the central nervous system or t...

onion (allium cepa) contains high levels of flavonoids. although there are many studies indicating the inhibitory effects of flavonoids on xanthine oxidase, there is no report on the effect of onion on this enzyme. therefore, in the present study, the inhibitory effects of onion on xanthine oxidase are investigated. fresh filtered juice of onion was prepared and its inhibitory effect on guinea ...

background: the aim of this study was to clone pparγ1 cdna in an appropriate mammalian expression vector, with a chimeric cdna form, encompassing pparγ with enhanced green fluorescent protein (egfp) cdna. this recombinant plasmid will be used for further analyses to investigate the molecular mechanism of pparγ1 for neural differentiation process. moreover, the nuclear localization of the pparγ1...

Abstract Background The diseases caused by the Capripoxvirus species have very similar symptoms and are difficult to distinguish clinically. According a recent report, not strictly host specific. Objective This study aimed identify viruses from ovine (include sheep goat) or bovine, which will assist in selecting appropriate vaccine correct measures control diseases. Method Universal primers for...

Abstract Bovine milk is composed of a variety biologically active compounds including mi-croRNAs (miRNA), which are found within extracellular vesicles (EVs). Extracellular vesicle-derived miRNAs may play crucial role in the regulation immune response. Thus, this study aimed to identify specific present bovine that modulate system’s response infection. To address this, RAW-Blue™ Cells, mouse ma...

Freeze-drying and gamma irradiation are the techniques widely use in tissue banking for preservation and sterilization of tissue grafts respectively. However, the effect of these techniques on biomechanical properties of bovine pericardium is poorly known. A total of 300 strips of bovine pericardium each measured 4 cm 1 cm were used in this study to evaluate the effect of freeze-drying on biome...

The respiratory tract contains numerous peptides secreted from special pulmonary epithelial cells whichare called endocrine cells. The function of neuroendocrine cells is modulated by amines. Serotonin has strong vasomotor and bronchomotor effects in the airway mucosa. The objective of this study was to determine presence and distribution of serotonin-positive endocrine cells in respiratory tra...
