background: previous studies reported many discrepancies about the effects of corpus luteum (cl) and ovarian follicle size on the developmental competence of oocytes. objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cl and different size of follicle on the developmental potential of bovine oocytes. materials and methods: after ovarian classification based on presence or absenc...

background: this study was conducted to explain the trend of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) in kermanshah province, western iran from 1991- 2012. methods: in this analytical-descriptive study, all of the patients suspected to cl in kermanshah province were studied. smears were prepared from most of them, stained with giemsa, and examined microscopically for leishman bodies. a few of the patients ...

the synthesis, spectroscopy and magnetic characterization of five new dinuclear copper(ii) complexes are described. all five compounds have the general formula [cu2(l)4(o-r)2](cl)2 or [cu2(l)2(cl)2](cl)2, in which r = ch3 or h, l=2, 3 or 4-pyridinemethanol as l2, l3 or l4, respectively. the title compounds consist of dinuclear units with bridging methoxo groups in [cu2(l4)4(o-ch3)2](cl)2, hydro...

cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) remains a serious public health concern in kerman province, eastern iran. this study was aimed to conduct a comprehensive review and highlights various aspects of cl in the province of kerman.this article mainly focuses on the studies published in the past 26 years on cl in the province. current data for the present status were obtained through the provincial health...

A novel Na/H exchange activity that requires Cl was recently identified in the apical membrane of crypt cells of the rat distal colon. This study explores the nature of the coupling of Cl and Na/H exchange. A concentration of 100 μM 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid, a Cl channel blocker, inhibited the Cl dependence of both proton gradient-driven22Na uptake from crypt cell apical memb...
