Background Kisspeptin is a potent stimulator of the hypothalamic- pituitary-gonadal axis and may play a critical role in modulating of stress-induced suppression of reproduction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of glucocorticoid receptor antagonist (RU486) and stress on expression of Kiss-1 mRNA in arcuate nucleus (ARC) of rat hypothalamus.

conclusions the obtained results indicate that rsm is an effective method for the optimization of culture conditions for hes gene expression in e. coli. results a maximum rhes mrna level of 376.16% was obtained under the following conditions: 0.6 mm iptg, 7 hours post-induction time, and 0.9 cell density before induction. the level of rhes mrna was significantly correlated with post-induction t...

objective(s): human and animal studies have shown a close relationship between obesity and asthma severity. here, we examined the effects of diet-induced obesity (dio) on the expression levels of il-1β, irak-1 and traf-6 mrna in male wistar rats tracheal after sensitization with ovalbumin (ova). materials and methods:twenty male wistar rats divided to four groups, included, control group with n...

the mrna expression of growth hormone (gh) gene in early development stages of siberian sturgeon was investigated using rt-pcr method. samples were collected from unfertilized eggs up to 50 days post hatched (dph) larvae in 11 different times. ribosomal protein l6 (rpl6) transcripts were used as the internal standard during quantification of gh mrna expression. the results showed that the gh mr...

Background and Aims: Cadmium is an important environmental pollutant and a potent toxicant to organisms. However, the toxicity of Cadmium and its influences on stomach is still unclear. We examined the effects of intraperitoneal injection of Cadmium on mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and Bax genes in rat stomach. Materials and Methods: Twenty eight male Wistar rats weighing 200 to 250 g were randomly...

Background: The Endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1 (EPSA1) is the key transcriptional regulator of hypoxic response and Vascular Permeability Factor (VPF) is an important growth factor for vascular development and angiogenesis. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, the levels of the EPSA1 coding gene and VPF transcripts were evaluated during Larval development of Beluga, Huso huso. METHODS...

Background: Cadmium is a potent toxicant and carcinogenic in human and experimental animals. The evidence indicates that cadmium induces aberrant gene expression, inhibition of DNA damage repair, and apoptosis. In this study, we investigated the effects of IP (intraperitoneal) injection of cadmium on mRNA levels expression of Bcl-2 and Bax genes in rat small intestine. <s...

mRNA-based protein replacement therapy has received much attention as a novel intervention in clinical disease treatment. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are widely used for their therapeutic potential to efficiently deliver mRNA. However, translation been hampered by the immunogenicity of LNPs that may aggravate underlying states. Here, we report ionizable LNP with enhanced potency and safety. The ...
