CONTEXT Caveolins are 21-24 kDa integral membrane proteins that serve as scaffolds to recruit numerous signaling molecules. Specific subclasses of caveolae carry out specific functions in cell metabolism. In particular, triglycerides are synthesized at the site of fatty acid entry in one of these caveolae classes. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS We studied the expression of caveolin-1 (CAV-1) gene in a...

The lower northern part of Thailand contains various genetically diverse ethnic populations. The sequences of the mitochondrial DNA hypervariable region were studied in three ethnic populations inhabiting Phitsanulok Province. One hundred and nine nucleotide sequences - 53, 29, and 27 from Hmongs (Hill tribe), Lao Songs, and Thai-Siams, respectively - were collected. The haplotypes were generat...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules consisting of approximately 22 nucleotides that engaged in the regulation various bio-processes. There is growing evidence miR-29 a key regulator hepatic lipid metabolism. Mimics and inhibitors bta-miRNA29d-3p were transiently transfected bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) to reveal on accumulation BMECs. Results showed overexpression significantl...

The Alberta Cardiac Access Collaborative (ACAC) is a joint initiative of Alberta's health system to improve access to adult cardiac services across the patient journey. ACAC has created new care delivery models and implemented best practices across Alberta in four streams across the continuum: heart attack, patient navigation, heart failure and arrhythmia. Emergency medical providers, nurses, p...

Non-syndromic pediatric cataracts are defined as opacification of the crystalline lens that occurs during first years life without affecting other organs. Given this disease is one most frequent causes reversible blindness in childhood, main objective study was to propose new responsible gene candidates would allow a more targeted genetic approach and expand our knowledge about disease. We pres...
