Kinetoplast DNA networks were isolated from stationary-phase culture forms of Phyromonas davidi. The networks banded in CsCl at a density of 1.699 g/ml and consisted of covalently closed circular molecules. The networks were sensitive to shear forces and exhibited several discrete sedimenting components in neutral and alkaline sucrose. Closed monomeric minicircles were isolated from sonicated n...

Several flax varieties have been shown to undergo environmentally induced heritable changes resulting in stable lines termed genotrophs. The most notable of these is the variety Stormont Cirrus, also termed "plastic" or Pl. A number of morphological, biochemical and genetic differences are associated with environmental induction of heritable changes in flax. We have studied 5S rDNA alterations ...

In newborns one of the major problems is fetal growth restriction or Intra Uterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) morbidity and mortality. Objective study to examine correlation between maternal BMI in IUGR placental anthropometry. Materials methods - Present was conducted OBG Department SVS Medical College hospital September-2020-march-2021. Total 22 samples collected compared with normal placenta ...

the purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effect of metabolizable energy (me) levels, feed restriction (fr) intensity and duration in pelleted diet on performance, blood parameters and carcass characteristics in broiler chickens. a total of 480 male ross 308 broilers were used in a 2×2×3 factorial arrangement with 12 treatments and 4 replicates. experimental treatments included: two...

The cancer-preventive effect of energy restriction in rodents has been related to a decrease in oxidative damage to DNA. We have investigated the effect of energy restriction on the rate of oxidative DNA modification estimated from the urinary excretion of the repair product, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), in healthy, normal weight men. Before and after 10 weeks on a diet contai...

OBJECTIVE To determine how symmetric (proportionate; SGR) and asymmetric (disproportionate; AGR) growth restriction influence growth and development in preterms from birth to 4 years. METHODS This community-based cohort study of 810 children comprised 86 SGR, 61 AGR, and 663 non-growth restricted (NGR) preterms, born in 2002 and 2003. Symmetrical growth restriction was defined as a birth weig...

In Japan, the number of low weight birth babies is increasing. The increase in the number of slim young women is considered to be associated with the rising number of low birth weight babies in Japan. In 1993, Barker et al. published highly influential findings indicating a relationship between low birth weight and increased risk of developing symptoms of metabolic syndrome. Here, we report on ...

Overweight and obesity are chronic diseases, which are increasingly affecting children and adolescents, and if not treated immediately then fat children from today will become patients from tomorrow. The objective of this study was to investigate whether dietary fat restriction normalizes body weight, impaired glucose tolerance and endothelium-dependent contractions induced by high dietary fat ...
