in order to investigate the yield and yield components of four lentil genotypes (local line, local bulk, ill-10314 and ill-6037 genotypes) as affected by three urea nitrogen levels including 0, 45 and 90 kg ha-1, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out in agriculture and natural resources research center of ardabil, during 2008. b...

objective(s):the aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance (ir) and leptin (lep) gene polymorphisms in peritoneal dialysis (pd) patients. materials and methods: from july 1, 2011 to august 1, 2011, patients who received chronic pd were chosen and divided into three groups (dm, high homr-ir, and low homr-ir). two pcr products of lep were sequenced and aligne...

Background: One third of epileptic patients are resistant to several anti-epileptic drugs (AED). P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux transporter encoded by ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) gene that excludes drugs from the cells and plays a significant role in AEDs resistance. Over-expression of P-gp could be a result of polymorphisms in ABCB1 gene. We studied the association of...

This study aimed to appraise the chemical features such as total phenol (TP), total flavonoid (TF), total antioxidant capacity based on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays of bran and grain in 10 genotypes of rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown in Iran. Based on two procedures of DPPH and FRAP, the results demonstrated that in terms of the amount of...

background: transforming growth factor-beta 1(tgf-β1) t869c (rs1800470, the same below) gene polymorphism is notably relative with the development of diabetic nephropathy (dn)，and cc/ct genotype diabetic have higher frequency of than tt genotype diabetic. to find out individual risk factors in the two genotypes especially in susceptible genotype could provide more efficient and targeted prevent...

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of the new generation of hepatitis C treatments named direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) depends on the genotype, subtype, and resistance-associated substitutions present in individual patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate a massive sequencing platform for the analysis of genotypes and subtypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in order to optimize therapy. ...

Mahaleb (Prunus mahaleb L.) is an important rootstock for P. avium and P. cerasus cultivars. The present study has compared the phenolic contents and antioxidant activity of the methanolic extracts of the barks, leaves and fruits of ten selected mahaleb genotypes. The total phenolic content (5.11-131.77 mg GA g-1) in barks and the total flavonoid (54.06-180.6 mg QE g-1) and proanthocyanidin (8....
