What is the relationship between genetic or environmental variation and the variation in messenger RNA (mRNA) expression? To address this, microarrays were used to examine the effect of genetic and environmental variation on cardiac mRNA expression for metabolic genes in three groups of Fundulus heteroclitus: (i) individuals sampled in the field (field), (ii) field individuals acclimated for 6 ...

El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la respuesta reproductiva de cabras ciclicas norte Mexico (26oN) sometidas a dos protocolos administracion prostaglandinas (PG; 5 dias vs 10 dias) con el fin sincronizar estral. Se formaron 2 grupos hembras caprinas adultas raza Alpino frances. Al Grupo G5 (n=10), se les administro primera inyeccion PG (0.2 ml; 160 μg cloprostenol) d -5 y grupo G10 (...

Abstract Objectives: to evaluate cesarean taxes by looking at Robson classification on 10 groups (G) and the principal indications prevalent G10. Methods: cross-sectional, observational, retrospective study, including all deliveries performed in a public hospital Distrito Federal 2019. Data were collected from medical records pregnant women classified groups. Pearson’s chi-squared test was used...

A total of 12 diverse tomato genotypes as parents and their 32 hybrids, obtained through Line × tester mating fashion, were evaluated to observe the consequence different genetic parameters on yield contributing traits. The experiment was conducted during two consecutive years 2016-2017 2017-2018 winter seasons in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. analysis varia...

background and aims: rotaviruses are the main cause of gastroenteritis in the young of human and a variety of animals in the world. rotavirus g6 and g10 are the most prevalent genotypes in cattle worldwide, but are also found in human with possible origination from animals. materials and methods: in this work, we have detected the g6 and g10 genotypes of bovine rotaviruses isolated from diarrhe...

Downregulation of the fibronectin (FN) gene in a rat 3Y1 derivative cell line, XhoC, transformed by the adenovirus E1A and E1B genes seems to be caused by the induction of a negative regulator, G10BP, which binds to three G-rich sequences in the promoter (T. Nakamura, T. Nakajima, S. Tsunoda, S. Nakada, K. Oda, H. Tsurui, and A. Wada, J. Virol. 66:6436-6450, 1992). These are the G10 stretch and...

The membrane interaction and solution conformation of two mutants of the beta-hairpin antimicrobial peptide, protegrin-1 (PG-1), are investigated to understand the structural determinants of antimicrobial potency. One mutant, [A(6,8,13,15)] PG-1, does not have the two disulfide bonds in wild-type PG-1, while the other, [Delta(4,18) G10] PG-1, has only half the number of cationic residues. 31P s...

PURPOSE To determine the optimum concentration of a gel obtained from unripe banana (Musa sapientum) peel for wound treatment in rats. METHODS A randomized triple blind study was conducted with 40 Wistar rats, which were divided into 4 groups: CG, control group; G2%, 2% gel concentration group; G4%, 4% gel concentration group; and G10%, 10 % gel concentration group. The banana peel gel was ap...

Rotaviruses causing severe diarrhea in foals in two organized farms in northern India, during the period from 2003 to 2005, were characterized by electropherotyping, serotyping, and sequence analysis of the genes encoding the outer capsid proteins. Of 137 specimens, 47 (34.31%) were positive for rotavirus and exhibited at least five different electropherotypes (E), E1 to E5. Strains belonging t...
