glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) enzyme catalyses the first step in pentose phosphate pathway (conversion of glucose-6-phosphat to 6-phospho gluconat) which provides cells with pentoses and reduction power in the form of nadph. in the present study we have analyzed the g6pd gene mutations in 76 patients with a history of favism in khorasan province in iran. dna samples were analyzed for...

Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a cytosolic enzyme which its main function is to produce NADPH in the red blood cells by controlling the step from Glucose-6-Phosphate to 6-Phospho gluconate in the pentose phosphate pathway. G6PD deficiency is the most common X-chromosome linked hereditary enzymopathy in the world, that result in reduced enzyme activity and more than 125 different mu...

background: the aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of ectoparasite infestations in stray dogs in mazandaran, gilan and qazvin provinces in fall and winter in 2013(december to march). methods: seventy dogs in 2013, from these provinces were examined for ectoparasite infestation and diagnosis of them based on parasitological methods and identification keys was done. results:...

Genetic diversity as an important marker of the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems is considered a unique and powerful tool to evaluate biological communities. In order to evaluate the genetic diversity among golden mullet species (Liza aurata) in the southeast and southwest coasts of the Caspian Sea by D-Loop gene sequencing, a total of 23 fin specimens of golden mullet were collected fro...

In northern provinces of Iran high rates of incidence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme deficiency have been reported and most of these patients carry one of the three common G6PD gene mutations: Mediterranean, Chatham or Cosenza. The aim of this study was to investigate prevalence of each of these mutations among neonates in Mazandaran, a northern province of Iran. Four hundre...
