Materials and methods: Ninety pigs (9.42 ± 0.05 kg) were used in a study with five dietary treatments: an uncontaminated control diet with no additives and four similar diets that were contaminated with 500 ng per g aflatoxin B1 (AB1) and supplemented with no additive, with 0.5% HSCAS, with an antioxidant preparation providing 125 mg per kg of ethoxyquin and 10 mg per kg of TBHQ, or with both H...

A transformation assay system using two clonal strains of adult rat liver epithelial cells is described. The carcinogens N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, methylmethanesulfonate, N-2-fluorenylacetamide, aflatoxin B1, benzo(a)pyrene, dimethylnitrosamine, nitrosopyrrolidine, and dimethyl-4-aminoazobenzene induced anchorage independency in one or both clonal strains, whereas noncarcinogenic an...

Kinin B1 receptors are known to be highly induced after inflammatory stimuli in several biological systems. We report that incubation of pig iris sphincter with lipopolysaccharide from Escherichia coli caused a marked and time-related up-regulation of B1, accompanied by a reduction of B2 receptor-mediated contractile responses. The up-regulation of B1 receptors by lipopolysaccharide stimulation...

Na,K-ATPase is a hetero-oligomer of an aand a b-subunit. The a-subunit (Na,K-a) possesses the catalytic function, whereas the bsubunit (Na,K-b) has cell-cell adhesion function and is localized to the apical junctional complex in polarized epithelial cells. Earlier, we identified two distinct conserved motifs on the Na,K-b1 transmembrane domain that mediate protein-protein interactions: a glycin...

Background: This cross sectional study was conducted to evaluate the effect of &gamma-rays and electron-beam irradiation with a commercial toxin binder-milbond-TX on the performance, feed components, and meat quality of Japanese quails challenged with aflatoxin B1. Methods: Overall, 168 One-d-old chicks (Japanese quails) were allocated to eight treatments with three replicates based on a com...

This study aims at specifying cultural words in teaching Turkish as a foreign language according to their proficiency levels (A1/2, B1/2, and C1/2) analyzing the difference between of these terms frequency. For this purpose, corpus 112.350 tokens total has been created based on written oral texts. In corpus, nouns verbs first 2000 frequency have compared with most common words, that are not mar...

The upregulated kinin B1 receptors exert a pivotal role in modulating inflammatory processes. In isolated human umbilical veins (HUVs), kinin B1 receptor is upregulated as a function of in vitro incubation time and proinflammatory stimuli. The aim of this study was to evaluate, using functional and biochemical methods, the involvement of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5), p38 mitog...

In this paper we consider a two-phase free boundary problem ruled by the infinity Laplacian. Our main result states that bounded viscosity solutions in B1 are universally Lipschitz continuous B1/2, which is optimal regularity for problem. We make new use of Ishii–Lions’ method, works as surrogate lack monotonicity formula and bound to be applicable related problems.

Cyclin B1 tracking provides information on cell cycle progression and cell-cycle regulator dynamics. We have developed a mathematical model which describes the continuous tracking of cyclin B1 through the cell cycle at the single cell level, including interactions with the cyclin B1 inhibitor, p21. The cell line used is a cancer cell line, human osteosarcoma (U-2 OS). An examination of the sens...
