Soybean is an important source of plant protein used in human diets. Cadmium (Cd) from agricultural soil a toxic metal for plants, including soybean. Furthermore, the cadmium taken up to seeds soybean and becomes risk animals by feed food chain. A method avoid this represented selection breeding lines/cultivars with genetic potential minimized accumulation. This work reports approach assisted D...

This study was aimed to examine the protective effects of supplementation with calcium + zinc (Ca + Zn) or vitamin E (Vit-E) on Cd-induced renal oxidative damage. Young albino Wistar rats (180 ± 10 g) (n = 6) control rats, Cd, Cd + Ca + Zn, and Cd + Vit-E experimental groups and the experimental period was 30 days. Rats were exposed to Cd (20 mg/kg body weight) alone treated as Cd treated group...

the purpose of this study was to identify the rate of polymorphism in bm6444, inra13 and orahh35 microsatellite markers associated with inhibin gene in sanjabi sheep. for this purpose, blood samples were taken randomly from 100 sanjabi sheep (78 females and 22 males) at mehregan breeding station at kermanshah. modified salting out method was employed for extracting dna. subsequently, polymerase...

AIM To investigate a possible genetic influence of claudin (CLDN)1, CLDN2 and CLDN4 in the etiology of inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS Allelic association between genetic regions of CLDN1, CLDN2 or CLDN4 and patients with inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis were investigated using both a case-control study approach (one case randomly selected from each o...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) grain is a major dietary source of cadmium (Cd), which is toxic to humans, but no practical technique exists to substantially reduce Cd contamination. Carbon ion-beam irradiation produced three rice mutants with <0.05 mg Cd⋅kg(-1) in the grain compared with a mean of 1.73 mg Cd⋅kg(-1) in the parent, Koshihikari. We identified the gene responsible for reduced Cd uptake and...

BACKGROUND AND AIM It remains challenging to determine the inflammatory activity in Crohn's disease (CD) for lack of specific laboratory markers. Recent studies suggest that serum omentin-1 is associated with inflammatory response. We aimed to assess the potential of serum omentin-1 as a marker of disease activity in CD patients. METHODS Serum omentin-1 concentrations were determined by enzym...

First, the urinary metabolic profiling by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), was performed to compare ten cadmium (Cd) toxicosis cases from a Cd-polluted area in Mae Sot (Thailand) with gender-matched healthy controls. Orthogonal partial list square-discrimination analysis was used to identify new biomarker candidates in highly Cd exposed toxicosis cases with remarkable renal tubular...

In our study, we aimed to investigate ischemia modified albumin (IMA) as an oxidative stress marker, as well as other oxidant and antioxidant markers that have not been evaluated in children with celiac disease. A total of 37 pediatric patients who were diagnosed with celiac disease (CD) and 29 healthy children were enrolled in this prospective study. We evaluated the IMA, total oxidant status,...

Cardiovascular disease remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality in maintenance haemodialysis patients. This study was designed to evaluate granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) level in chronic renal failure patients, and to clarify its impact on neutrophil activation, endothelial dysfunction and haemostatic activation in these patients. Thirty patients on regular haemodialysis...
