Background: Dicrocoelium dendriticum, a liver trematode of herbivores, and man is very prevalent among ruminants of Iran, resulting in causing significant economic losses. Recently its phenotype polymorphism has been found in Iran, a phenomenon that may affect the protein profile of the parasite. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the somatic protein profiles of D.dendriticum in...

patients with psychiatric disorders are usually more exposed to multiple somatic illnesses, including liver diseases. specific links are established between psychiatric disorders and alcohol hepatitis, hepatitis b, and hepatitis c in the population as a whole, and specifically in drug abusers. metabolic syndrome criteria, and associated steatosis or non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis (nash) are fre...

genetic and phenotypic parameters related to production traits, udder conformation and somatic cell count for the iranian holstein cows were estimated. monthly records of somatic cell counts (scc) were primarily transformed into somatic cell scores (scs) and the the average level of lactation period, with correction for milk volume, was calculated. by use of these estimates an udder health inde...

Sperm specific lactate dehydrogenases (LDH-C₄) is a lactate dehydrogenase that catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactate. In mammals, Ldh-c was originally thought to be expressed only in testes and spermatozoa. Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae), which belongs to the genus Ochotona of the Ochotonidea family, is a hypoxia-tolerant mammal living 3000-5000 m above sea level on the Qinghai-Tib...

in the present study, we examined the antioxidative activities of satureja khuzestanica essential oil (ske) and possible protective effect of ske on lipid profile, atherogenic index and liver enzyme markers in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic rats. thirty male rats were randomly divided into three groups; group one as control, group two diabetic untreatment, and group three treatments with ske b...

To obtain the optimal requirement of dietary folic acid (FA) in feed juvenile largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides, five experimental diets were prepared with 0, 0.5, 1.5, 4.5, and 13.5 mg/kg supplemental FA basal practical diet (measured value <0.18 diet) fed to bass an initial body weight (14.49 ± 0.06) g for 7 weeks. The results showed that gain rate specific growth fish each supplementati...

Approximately 50% of patients with primary colorectal carcinoma develop liver metastases. Understanding the genetic differences between primary colon cancer and their metastases to the liver is essential for devising a better therapeutic approach for this disease. We performed whole exome sequencing and copy number analysis for 15 triplets, each comprising normal colorectal tissue, primary colo...

The allocation of resources between storage and somatic growth is an essential physiological phenomenon in animals. Allocation mechanisms have broad theoretical applied implications. real-time resource patterns animals remain to be elucidated, there limited understanding the metabolic mechanisms. We investigated strategy Rana omeimontis tadpoles. Their ontogenetic fat accumulation began when bo...
