Animal agricultural production systems are major sources of nonpoint pollution affecting quality of water sources. Nitrogen has been identified as the foremost source of nonpoint water pollution  and the potential negative impacts of N have become an area of public concern. protein degradation from feed ingredients is an important factorinfluencing AA supply to the duodenum. Ruminal proteolysis...

a ABSTRACT Arsenic contamination in environment is serious threat to all living beings. Lysinibacillus sphaericus (B1-CDA) is a Gram positive bacterium that can grow in arsenic contaminated environment. The genes responsible for arsenic resistance of this bacterium have been identified as arsB, arsC and arsR by previous researchers. In the present study, arsB was cloned from genomic DNA of B1-C...

Proteins are sources of many peptides with diverse biological activity. Some of them are considered as valuable components of foods and drug targets with desired and designed biological activity. We are now entering an era rich in biological data in which the field of bioinformatics is poised to exploit this information in increasingly powerful ways. There are currently many databases all over ...

Arsenic, a toxic metalloid, exists in the natural environment and its organic form is approved for use as a feed additive for animal production. As a major foodborne pathogen of animal origin, Campylobacter is exposed to arsenic selection pressure in the food animal production environments. Previous studies showed that Campylobacter isolates from poultry were highly resistant to arsenic compoun...

The human oral microbiome has a major role in oral diseases including dental caries. Our studies on progression of caries infection through dentin and more recently, the invasion of vital dental pulp, detected Lactobacillus rhamnosus in the initial stages of infection of vital pulp tissue. In this study employing current high-throughput next generation sequencing technology we sought to obtain ...

background:the zinc-finger x linked (zfx) gene encodes a transcription factor that acts as a regulator of self-renewal of stem cells. due to the role of zfx in cell growth, understanding zfx protein-protein interactions helps to clarify its proper biological functions in signaling pathways. the aim of this study is to define zfx protein-protein interactions and the role of zfx in cell growth. m...

abstractintroduction: previous investigations have shown that protein malnutrition can alters the structure and function of some areas of hippocampal formation. we investigated the effect of protein malnutrition on amygdaloid projections to the ca1 hippocampal area. in this study we investigated level and pattern of distribution of efferent projections from amygdala to hippocampus in the rat by...

the most frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene found in human cancer is p53. in a normal situation, p53 is activated upon the induction of dna damage to either arrest the cell cycle or else induce apoptosis. however, when mutated, p53 is no longer able to properly accomplish these functions. our aim was to investigate p53 protein alteration in cases of basal cell carcinoma (bcc) and compare ...

zinc is a substance that regulates neural excitability by binding whit sodium channel and potassium channel. the efficiency of free zinc ion, make down the neural survival rate, reduced the peak amplitude of na+ and make depolarization na channel, increased the peak amplitude of transition outward k+ currents and delayed rectifier. also it is an effective blocker of one subtype of tetrodoxine (...
