Background: To examine the relative contributions of dietary fat intake level and its food sources and assisted reproduction parameters. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 240 infertile women. In assisted reproduction treatment cycle, body mass index (BMI), physical activity (PA), calorie intake, fat consumption and major food sources were assessed. The number of retrie...

BACKGROUND The Erythrocyte Binding Antigen (EBA) 175 has been considered as one of the most important Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) merozoite ligands that mediate invasion of the erythrocytes through their sialated receptor: Glycophorin A (GPA). The effect of the EBA 175 dimorphic alleles (F and C) on the severity of the disease is not yet fully understood. Therefore this study was desi...

The involvement of myosin XI in generating the motive force for cytoplasmic streaming in plant cells is becoming evident. For a comprehensive understanding of the physiological roles of myosin XI isoforms, it is necessary to elucidate the properties and functions of each isoform individually. In tobacco cultured BY-2 cells, two types of myosins, one composed of 175 kDa heavy chain (175 kDa myos...

Abstract Background Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte binding antigen-175 ( Pf EBA-175) is a candidate antigen for blood-stage malaria vaccine, while various polymorphisms and dimorphism have prevented to development of effective vaccines based on this gene. This study aimed investigate the EBA-175 both Bioko Island continent Equatorial Guinea, as well genetic polymorphism natural selection glo...

The syntactician’s toolkit relies heavily on grammaticality judgements. Tests determining the structure of language often involve transforming a language fragment and then checking the grammaticality of the result. For example, distributional tests for constituency. However, determining grammaticality is not always a straightforward task. Tests for grammaticality have been characterized by two ...

UNLABELLED Erythrocyte invasion is an essential step in the pathogenesis of malaria. The erythrocyte binding-like (EBL) family of Plasmodium falciparum proteins recognizes glycophorins (Gp) on erythrocytes and plays a critical role in attachment during invasion. However, the molecular basis for specific receptor recognition by each parasite ligand has remained elusive, as is the case with the l...
