background and objective: obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. the abnormalities involved may be mediated by increased secretions of inflammatory proteins called adipocytokines by the adipose tissue. thus, monitoring adipocytokines during weight loss could be helpful in progress evaluation of weight reduction programs. since high-protein diets are cons...

conclusions the canola oilseeds could provide a useful expression system to produce hcv core protein as a vaccine candidate. results western blot analysis using anti-his antibody confirmed the presence of a 15 kda protein in the seeds of t1 transgenic lines. the amount of antigenic protein accumulated in the seeds of these transgenic lines was up to 0.05% of the total soluble protein (tsp). mat...

background: the role of retinoblastoma (rb) protein in cell cycle regulation prompted us to take up this study with the aim of assessing its role in the progression of oral cancer and to correlate with various clinicopathological parameters, including habits such as smoking, paan chewing, and alcoholism. materials and methods: this observational study included surgical specimens from 10 apparen...

protein secretory systems are found in all living organisms including gram negative bacteria, and eukaryotic cell’s organelles that are derived from these bacteria. unlike all other living organisms, gram negative bacteria have different protein secretory systems. at least there are four different independent secretory systems, which are responsible to transport the secreted proteins to the mil...

the objective of this study was to produce fish protein hydrolysate (fph) with the most antioxidant activity, by enzymatic hydrolysis from (carassius carassius). the protein of crucian carp a low value fish was hydrolyzed by alcalase 2.4l and the optimal hydrolysis parameters of strongest antioxidant capacity of peptides were obtained using response surface methodology (rsm) by the central rota...

protein and energy are the two major components of feed that influence performance of the growing and fattening lambs. provision of the quality of protein in the lamb’s diet does not only improve the animal performance but also ensures profitable animal production. different vegetable protein sources are used to formulate the rations for growing and fattening lambs. these protein sources differ...

we have studied the changes in protein-protein interaction network of 38 different tissues of the human body. 123 gene expression samples from these tissues were used to construct human protein-protein interaction network. this network is then pruned using the gene expression samples of each tissue to construct different protein-protein interaction networks corresponding to different studied ti...

results the results showed that sensitivity and specificity were respectively 84.12% and 92% for‎ recombinant protein srs3 and 92% and 96% for rsag1. conclusions recombinant proteins srs3 and rsag1 are promising antigens in diagnostic assays for detection of specific antibodies against t. gondii. background infections by the protozoan parasite toxoplasma gondii (t. gondii) are widely prevalent ...
